Newsboy's ITV4 tips for Thursday including the Grade 1 races from Leopardstown

Zambella (3.10, nap) can go back-to-back in the Listed mares’ chase at Doncaster by following up a convincing win at Carlisle last time.

A 15 length winner of the same race 12 months ago, she beat Annie Mc comprehensively last time and has proved ultra-consistent at this two and a half mile trip, winning five out of eight.

Expect another day of Willie Mullins v Gordon Elliott rivalry at Leopardstown where Queens Brook (1.10) can strike a blow for the latter in the Grade 3 Mares Hurdle.

But Mullins could have an edge in the Grade 1 features with State Man (2.20) likely to again prove too good for stablemate Sharjah in the Matheson Hurdle.

In the same Donnelly colours Gaillard Du Mesnil (1,45) can prevail over Three Stripe Life on his return to a more suitable three mile trip.

Typical Thomas (2.55) is capable of breaking the big two’s monopoly by striking in the novice handicap hurdle for James Andrew Fahey.

At Doncaster Omar Maretti (2.40), who was on a hot winning streak until pulling up in the Kim Muir in March, can make a successful return to action.

While at Southwell Zealot (4.00) can provide champion jockey William Buick with his 200th winner of the year.
