Market movers Eddie and Patrick Harty's Midnight Fire is proving popular in the seven-furlong handicap in Leopardstown at 5.20pm. The bottom weight won this race last year and is well drawn for a repeat bid in stall four. He is as short as 7/2 from as big as 12/1. Thaleeq and the two reserves have been ruled out of this contest. Donnacha O'Brien's newcomer First Emperor is proving to be very popular in the 1m2f maiden for three-year-olds at 3.05pm.
