Weekend racing review with plenty of Cheltenham Festival market movers following the Dublin Racing Festival
Faugheen beaten, Supasundae heading to the Stayers' Hurdle and Buveur D'Air still flying high, how do the Cheltenham Festival markets look now?
THE Dublin Racing Festival was a huge success at Leopardstown this weekend and there were plenty of horses that impressed ahead of the Cheltenham Festival.
There were also plenty of horses that had their bubbles burst, and the Festival markets received a big shake up.
The well fancied Dortmund Park suffered a defeat in the opening race at Leopardstown with Tower Bridge winning. He was cut into as short as 16-1 for the Ballymore.
Min put his Christmas disappointment behind him with a brilliant win in the Dublin Chase and now looks a big rival to Altior.
Willie Mullins' chaser is now a best priced 3-1 shot for the Queen Mother Champion Chase.
Mullins had another big winner with Footpad who is now the 4-6 favourite for the Arkle Chase.
