UDS probably wins...and so does Jezki.

I think loads of people would love to see Hurricane Fly win for the fifth year in a row and in the process surpass the record of the great Istabraq but the argument for a 22nd Grade One success isn't just an emotional one.

He's 4-2 up on Jezki when the pair have gone head-to-head while Leopardstown is like his own private gallop - he hasn't been beaten at the Dublin track in nine outings so I think he'll be taking the headlines this weekend.

There's plenty of other good quality races and I think Gordon Elliott could have a great day.

The Arkle Novice Chase at 1.40 is an interesting race. Un De Sceaux is highly-rated while Enda Bolger's Gilgamboa won both his novice chases but I'm going for Gordon's Clarcam.

He is improving all the time and has done nothing wrong at all. He was very impressive when winning on St Stephen's Day and he's getting 10lbs from the other two and that could swing it for him. He'll love the ground too and though he's up against good horses, I think he'll go very close.

Gordon also has a real chance with No More Heroes at 3.15 who is a nice sort and he can also team up with Nina Carberry to take the bumper with Robin Thyme.
