Dublin To Bahrain Race Series Handicap

Leopardstown · 19:18 · Thursday, 23 July 2026 · 1m1f · Good

🤖 AI race preview

The race is likely to see a steady early pace with Kilcrea Rock or Dark Viper setting the tempo from the front, given their recent performances over 1m and strong RPRs, though both have faced ground variations; Kilcrea Rock’s recent win at Dundalk over 10.5f and consistent form at Leopardstown suggest he is hard to oppose, particularly with a 6-runner draw and a strong 83 OFR/94 RPR, while his recent 2nd place at Leopardstown in good going indicates he can stay in contention. Dark Viper, despite a 3lb increase, remains a compelling player with a 78 OFR and 98 RPR, having shown cracking effort at Leopardstown last time and a strong record at this track over 1m, making him a value at the forecast price. The main danger comes from Apercu, who has faced stiff tasks and showed resilience in a 6.5l defeat at the Ulster Oaks, and Harmani, who has struggled since a strong win at Down Royal despite a 2lb drop and a 14d absence, with his recent 10th place in a 1m race suggesting a potential reversion. Each-way appeal is present from Manton Bay, who won an AW maiden over this trip last winter, and Mr Ballynonty, who returns with cheekpieces and a 2lb drop after a 10d absence, though both face form inconsistencies.
