Dublin Racing Festival Betting Guide: Best Bets for Irish Gold Cup, Grade 1s & an 18/1 NAP!

Dublin Racing Festival Day 1 is here and this is the betting roadmap serious punters wait for. Emmet Kennedy is joined by Andy Newton, George Gorman and Peter Michael to break down every key race at Leopardstown and Sandown, with price-led analysis, strong opinions, and proper betting angles you won’t hear anywhere else.

If you’re betting DRF or looking for Cheltenham clues, this is essential listening.

Irish Gold Cup (G1)
Galopin Des Champs chases a fourth straight win. Can Affordale Fury, Gaelic Warrior or I Am Maximus upset the king?

Irish Arkle (G1)
Romeo Coolio sets the standard, but does he really want further? The panel make a strong case for a Mullins alternative at the prices.

Nathaniel Lacy (G1)
Another Closutton conveyor belt. Is Doctor Steinberg the next Festival horse?

Juvenile Hurdle (G1)
Mange Tout already beat the favourite and gets the mares’ allowance. Three of the team think she’s the value play.

Leopardstown handicaps & bumpers
Festival plot horses, big prices and runners the market may be missing.

Sandown – Scilly Isles (G1)
Irish raiders dominate the betting and the panel are split.

• 18/1 NAP
• Multiple double-figure next bests
• Strong handicap angles
• Emmet’s new Lucky 63 after another profitable weekend

Form, pace, profiles and price. No hype. No guesswork.
