Fairly static morning markets for the Graded action at Leopardstown although Drinmore winner Beacon Edge (14s into 11/1) has attracted a bit of each-way support in the Ladbrokes Novice Chase at 1.20.

El Fabiolo (injured in transit) is a non-runner in the 2m novice hurdle at 3.35 which has resulted in stablemate Sir Gerhard shortening up to 4/6 at the head of the market.

In the opening mares' handicap hurdle at 12.45, Lunar Display (8s into 7/1) and Banntown Girl (14s into 12/1) are two that will appreciate the extra bit of ease in the ground after yesterday's 12mm of rain.

Emmet Mullins went close with Rightplacerightime yesterday and his charge The Shunter , making his first appearance since finishing fourth in the Galway Plate, is into 8/1 from 10s for the Leopardstown Chase at 2.25.

Mullins' Carrarea , third in a valuable contest at Lingfield last month, gets in off just 10st1lb in the 2m handicap hurdle at 4.10 and is the 4/1 market leader.

There was good money around for Sea Ducor overnight and he's next in at 6/1 while Gordon Elliott's Magic Tricks , who's been threatening to win a big handicap for quite a while, is into 10/1 from 14s. He looks a good ride for 5lb claimer Shane Fitzgerald who was seen to good effect on A Wave Of The Sea on the opening day of the festival.
