Dublin Racing Festival Tips for Day 1

Here are all the horse racing tips for the first day of the Dublin Racing Festival 2023.

1:20 Tip GOOD LAND

Here are our tips for the Leopardstown 1:20 pm race on the 1st day of the 2023 Dublin Racing Festival.

Barry Connell trains course and distance winner Good Land who was very well fancied to get off the mark first time out in a maiden only to unseat his rider at the 1st obstacle. The selection made no mistake in making amends next time out with an impressive front running performance and he is taken to come out on top once again here. Sandor Clegane and American Mike rate the main dangers with the latter selected to chase him home.

• 2pts win on GOOD LAND
• 1pt each way on AMERICAN MIKE

1:55 Tip LOSSIEMOUTH

Here are our tips for the Leopardstown 1:55 pm race on the 1st day of the 2023 Dublin Racing Festival.

LOOSIEMOUTH has looked an ultra impressive winner in all 3 of his runs to date and its difficult to see him losing his unbeaten tag here. The Willie Mullins charge is sure to attract plenty of supporters. The trainer saddles no fewer than 7 horses in the race and Tekao could rate the alternative option should the favourite faulter.

• 2pts win on LOSSIEMOUTH
• 1pt each way on TEKAO

2:30 Tip DYSART DYNAMO

Here are our tips for the Leopardstown 2:30 pm race on the 1st day of the Dublin Racing Festival 2023.

This could be a straight match between the Willie Mullins pair DYSART DYNAMO and Appreciate It. The latter being the more experienced of the two but its difficult to get away from the course and distance winner who slaughtered his rivals in telling fashion and looks well equipped for this step up in grade.

• 2pts win on DYSART DYNAMO
• 1pt each way on APPRECIATE IT

3:05 Tip GALOPIN DES CHAMPS

The 15:05 race is the Paddy Power Irish Gold Cup which has one of the most exciting jump horses in Galopin Des Champs. He won the John Durkin Memorial with plenty in hand and looks sure to take all the beating here. Gordon Elliott saddles able deputants Fury Road and Conflated who will be waiting in the wings if there is any mishaps on the selection.

3:40 Tip MAXXUM

Here are our tips for the Leopardstown 3:40 pm race on the first day of the 2023 Dublin Racing Festival.

Gordon Elliott has done an unbelievable job with MAXXUM and after winning impressively, carrying a huge hike in the weights, last time out he is taken once again to defy the handicapper with a further 25lb rise. He looks a star in the making and is selected to gain his hat trick. Gavin Cromwells charge Perceval Legallois could rate the main danger if the handicapper has finally caught up with the selection.

• 2pts win on MAXXUM
• 1pt each way on PERCEVAL LEGALLOIS

4:10 Tip A WAVE OF THE SEA

Here are our tips for the Leopardstown 4:10 pm race on the first day of the 2023 Dublin Racing Festival.

Henry De Bromhead saddles lightly raced Epson Du Houx and he sure to have plenty of admirers but a chance is taken on the Jospeh Obrien horse A WAVE OF THE SEA. He has put together some decent performances of late and probably deserves more credit than his form figures suggest. he has slipped to a workable mark and could surprise at a tasty price.

• 2pts win on A WAVE OF THE SEA
• 1pt each way on EPSON DU HOUX

4:40 Tip FASCILE MODE

Here are our tips for the Leopardstown 4:40 pm race on the first day of the Dublin Racing Festival 2023.

The future stars of racing take the field here with plenty of exciting prospects. Thomas Mullins trained FASCILE MODE was a shock winner on his debut but there didn’t seem to be any fluke about it. In fact if one horse didn’t have the run of the race it was surely him, overcoming trouble to win cosily. A Dream To Share hasn’t put a foot wrong yet and John E Kiely will be hoping his horse can overcome a long absence to land the spoils and keep his unbeaten record in tact.

• 2pts win on FASCILE MODE
• 1pt each way on A DREAM TO SHARE.
