Oli Bell picks out his four strongest fancies on a busy Saturday of high-class action on both sides of the Irish Sea.
Embour
Was a good third at this course earlier in the season and has built up a decent string of efforts in defeat win his Windsor win in July. Impeded at Sandown last time and every chance on that running.

Durston
Not beaten all that far in Group 3 Geoffrey Freer at Newbury and previous Goodwood handicap form reads very well. Drop back in distance unlikely to prove much of a hindrance and rates a spot of value against Ben Vrackie.

Piece Of History
Two runs this season not devoid of promise but the obvious thing in his favour here is the return to an all-weather surface, having been successful here last summer. Yard won the race last year and he looks poised to strike.

Headman
Roger Charlton knows a good horse when he sees one and wouldn't be sending Headman to Leopardstown without a proper chance. The Kingman colt has a burst of speed that could bring down favourite Magical.
