7.55 Leopardstown – Dublin To Bahrain Fillies & Mares Handicap (€25,000)

1m | 3yo+ Fillies & Mares | Good Ground | Flat Handicap (90 = 10st)


Pace & Draw Angles

The likely pace is even with possible pressing from Summer Snow (drawn 1) and Onemoredance (6). Neo Smart (10) may push forward too, while Serialise (5) and Tachos (8) prefer mid-div/hands-off tactics.
The draw is neutral to mildly low-favouring over the mile at Leopardstown in bigger fields on good ground – low numbers (1–5) may gain slight tactical benefit.


Strongest Contenders

Summer Snow (Drawn 1) – Proven
In flying form (3 wins last 4 starts), acts on the ground and track, thriving over 1m. Profile and quotes suggest she’s on a sharp upward curve despite climbing weights. She led and dictated in her latest, and this draw aids that tactic. Just 5lb higher now and still looks competitively treated.

Serialise (5) – Proven
Robust form through the spring, with a standout 92 RPR in May. Reliable in large fields and handled quick ground well. She’s likely to track pace from midfield, but she’s not totally unexposed – there may be a ceiling to her improvement.

Tachos (8) – Progressive
Dermot Weld’s filly is very solid at this level, scoring over 9f at Leopardstown before a fine third under a big weight. FS% numbers and turn-of-foot indicators point to energy-efficient late bursts – ideally suited to an even pace. Now rated 85 but remains competitive.


Main Dangers

Onemoredance (6) – Progressive
3 wins this year, excelling at 1m-9f. Likely to press pace and enjoy a better rhythm back in a truer-run handicap. Jockey claim helps her sneak in off 78. Uncomplicated and handles a sound surface. Key red team player.

Neo Smart (10) – Holding Form
Handles Leopardstown and has run career bests in 2025. Good RPRs in two of her last three. Will need things to fall right tactically from wide draw, but connections are red hot (Bolger 100% RTF last 14 days).

Aviatrice (3) – Promising
Still improving, shaped well at Curragh (strong late sectionals) and unlucky prior. Turf record is limited but solid. Big ask on bare figures, but her trajectory suggests further upside. Ideal draw and potential pace set-up to suit her late kick.


Interesting Outsiders

Rion Rubette (9) – Unexposed
Visually impressive winner at Limerick; subsequent second under penalty looked strong, though the form hasn’t fully worked out. Well drawn to sit handy. Improvement likely; the 3yo allowance keeps her competitive.

Gloriously Glam (7) – Inconsistent but Capable
Ran a big RPR when second in May. Needs forgiving recent flops but hints at raw ability. Draw fine, pace scenario may bring her into it late if she’s “on a going day.”


Runner Scores and Suitability Analysis

  • Summer Snow: 9/10 – Thriving; handles track, trip, and ground. Go-day profile.
  • Serialise: 8/10 – Reliable type, well drawn. Strong claims if pace holds up.
  • Tachos: 8/10 – Proven at the trip, very consistent. Draw manageable.
  • Onemoredance: 8/10 – Excellent profile; strong jockey/trainer angle.
  • Neo Smart: 7/10 – Continues to hold form, though draw isn’t ideal.
  • Aviatrice: 7/10 – Improving; late gains if pace strong enough.
  • Rion Rubette: 7/10 – Upward curve; needs to confirm she stays the mile well.
  • Gloriously Glam: 6/10 – Has run big figures, but needs ideal set-up.
  • Heartwarmer: 5/10 – Early promise but now on a regressive path.
  • Banner Beauty: 4/10 – Limited data; won a soft maiden. This is deeper.
  • Super Exceed: 4/10 – Profile suggests she’s flattered by one RPR; ground not ideal.

Keep an eye on the market for support or big drifts for runners returning from layoffs of 90+ days.
Watch out for in-form sprinters returning quickly; they can be hot.


Each-Way Angles (11 runners)

  • Aviatrice – Good late speed profile; may be better than rating.
  • Rion Rubette – Unexposed and improving.
  • Gloriously Glam – Risky but may out-run odds if lively in paddock.
