Coral shares its daily racing tips, this time for Sunday 1st February. Join us as we preview all of the horse racing action at Leopardstown.
Coral Horse Racing: Dublin Racing Festival - February 1, 2026
12.40 - Listed Handicap Hurdle
TIP: Cousin Kate
Given seven pounds by her rider, this Denis Hogan-trained mare is very capable on a soft surface and has shown a remarkable level of consistency so far this term. She has the speed to win over this trip, and the stamina to plug on through the ground.
1.10 - Grade 1 Novice Chase
TIP: Final Demand
There should be little standing in the way of Final Demand here, who has the best winning claims of all the three Willie Mullins representatives here. He is top rated, unbeaten over fences so far and perfectly at home on testing ground.
1.40 - Grade 1 Novice Hurdle
TIP: Starting Fifteen e/w
Having finished just a length behind favourite Talk The Talk in a maiden at Limerick, this five-year-old is a talented individual. He won his next start in convincing fashion on heavy ground, and he could make the placings here if handling conditions again.
2.10 - Grade 1 Dublin Chase
TIP: Found A Fifty
Beneath his best last time out at this track, Gordon Elliott’s stable star has beaten plenty of his opponents before and could recapture his better form, especially given softer ground than last time. The trainer’s form is excellent and this horse can bounce back.
2.45 - Grade 3 Leopardstown Handicap Chase
TIP: Uncle Pat e/w
Given seven pounds by his rider, Uncle Pat could prove to be at a workable mark still and he goes well on ground like this. Further progress could be expected carrying bottom weight and he can outrun his odds.
3.20 - Grade 1 Irish Champion Hurdle
TIP: Lossiemouth
This formidable mare appears to have very few chinks in her armour, having won top class races on all ground and over both two miles and two and a half miles. She should be the winner once again.
3.52 - Listed Handicap Hurdle
Tip: Kotkito Bello
The emphatic winner of a handicap hurdle at Thurles last time out carrying bottom weight, this six-year-old is happy on testing ground and has improved significantly in the latter half of this term. The trainer’s horses are going well and he could be a danger.
4.27 - Grade 2 Mares Bumper
TIP: Brosna Shine
Having beaten Araminta by three lengths at Fairyhouse on soft ground last time, this Stephen Carey-trained mare could improve again today.
