Review leopardstown 17th Jan

< Henry Higgins put his best foot forward to pick up the big prize on offer in Leopardstown's Coral.ie Hurdle.< Kalkir looked the likely winner when sent about his business by French jockey Jacques Ricou at the top of the straight, but Robbie Power was in his slipstream on Henry Higgins.

Travelling strongly, a fast leap at the last took the 16-1 chance to the front and he saw out his race well to defeat Kalkir by two and a quarter lengths.< Empire Of Dirt (8-1) finally landed the big prize he has long threatened in the Coral.ie Leopardstown Handicap Chase.

Colm Murphy's charge hasn't always been the safest of jumpers but his talent has never been in question and after quickening to the front on the inside, he held Killer Crow by two and a quarter lengths to lead home a one-two for Gigginstown House Stud.< Killultagh Vic snatched victory from the jaws of defeat in the Grade Two 'Money Back On Fallers' At Coral.ie Novice Chase.

All was going to plan for the 2-7 favourite until he knuckled on landing when clear at the last, but Ruby Walsh managed to stay on board, got his mount back on an even keel, and he reeled in Blair Perrone for a remarkable three-quarter-length success.

Jack Kennedy fended off the Walsh-ridden Childrens List on Golan Lodge in the 'Bet & Watch' Irish Racing Live At Coral.ie Handicap Hurdle.

Childrens List cruised into contention on the run to the last, but 5-1 shot Golan Lodge went with him and found more after the obstacle to score by half a length.

The market principals came to the fore in the Coral.ie 'Best Price Guaranteed On Irish Racing' Maiden Hurdle and after a head-to-head tussle down the straight, Our Duke (2-1) got the better of market leader Pylonthepressure by three lengths.< Billy's Hope looked like rewarding favourite-backers quite comfortably at the last in the 'Download The Coral App' Mares Maiden Hurdle but was nabbed on the line by Pride Of The Braid (9-2), while 13-8 favourite Aspen Colorado won the Coral.ie (Pro/Am) Flat Race.
