Leopardstown, Sunday

Hennessy Gold Cup (Grade 1) 5yo+, 3m

Quote:
QUEL ESPRIT gave trainer Willie Mullins an eighth Hennessy Gold Cup success with a swashbuckling front-running performance under Ruby Walsh.

The win is likely to secure Quel Esprit's participation in the Betfred-sponsored Cheltenham Gold Cup, for which Stan James go 20-1 (from 25) and the sponsors go just 14-1 (from 20).

Dr. P.J. Moriarty Novice Chase (Grade 1) 2m5f 5yo+

Quote:
A NEAR fautless round of jumping from Last Instalment ensured the odds-on favourite saw off the challenge of the Willie Mullins-trained duo Call The Police and Lambro.

William Hill left the winner unchanged at 7-1 for the RSA Chase, while BetVictor go 6-1 (from 7) after the 8-11 shot's trainer Philip Fenton pointed the way towards a potential clash with Grands Crus.
