Leopardstown Handicap Chase Betting

The Leopardstown Handicap Chase takes place each year during January and punters will be taking a keen interest in handicap horse racing around this time of year as the Aintree Grant National in April draws ever closer.

Punters will be looking for clues to help their ante-post betting choices and they will be keen to see how many of the Irish contenders get on at Leopardstown in this race. The race at Leopardstown involves a trip of two miles, five furlongs but it is often run on heavy ground, thanks to the time of year, and can end up being a stern test of a horse's stamina.

Entries here are likely to be looking at a crack at one of the Cheltenham Festival races though and there are few bigger betting events in the world of sport. The Leopardstown Handicap has been dominated by Irish contenders over the years and entries from the stables of Dessie Hughes are always worth looking out for as the Irish trainer has enjoyed multiple winners, including 16/1 winner Schindlers Hunt in 2009 and 10/1 chance Rare Bob in 2011.
