Since its inception in 2018, the Dublin Racing Festival has provided two days of delight for punters on the search for Cheltenham Festival betting clues. The high-class meeting at Leopardstown hosts eight Grade 1 races and results in some strong movements in the Cheltenham ante-post markets.

Frequently dubbed the ‘Willie Mullins show’ thanks to his success at the meeting, Emma Nagle has avoided his odds-on favourites and taken a deep dive into the form to unearth, instead, a Mullins-trained 15-2 shot as one leg of her Saturday treble.

As ever, BoyleSports are joining in the action and you can claim €50 in free bets:

See Emma’s three fancies for the Dublin Racing Festival.

1.50 Leopardstown, Spring Juvenile Hurdle 2m

In an October stable tour Willie Mullins mentioned new JP McManus recruit Majborough as a dark horse to follow for the season. The four year old was purchased from France after impressing on hurdling debut at Auteuil and is being thrown right into the deep end here on first Irish start. Described as 'not a typical looking three-year-old' by his trainer, he could serve it up to shorter-priced stable mates and become another live Cheltenham contender for JP McManus.

3.00 Leopardstown, Handicap Hurdle 2m1f

Fine Margin made his stable debut for Willie Mullins at Haydock back in November and left a big impression finishing second, with leading Stayers Hurdle contender Crambo back in third. The seven-year-old son of Soldier Of Fortune has been given a Grade 1 entry for the Albert Bartlett at Cheltenham which could be a pointer toward the ability shown at home. He should be capable of building upon his last run off only 3lbs higher.

4.10 Leopardstown, Ryanair Handicap Chase

Solness was very impressive winning at Fairyhouse in December and had plenty of today's field behind him that day. Up 9lbs for that win but still only a six-year-old and could be on an upward curve. Drying ground at Leopardstown should play to his favour and he could be hard to beat in a race that trainer Joseph O'Brien has had plenty of success in in the past.
