Solicitors Novice Hurdle Betting Odds
It could be a case of Doctor, Doctor in the Nathaniel Lacy & Partners Solicitors Novice Hurdle considering that Willie Mullins saddles Doctor Du Mesnil and Doctor Steinberg. They both look like decent contenders for this race on Day One of the Dublin Racing Festival, with You Proof also running for the Irish handler who is mob-handed for this encounter.
The betting market looks fairly open for an encounter over two miles and six furlongs, with I'll Sort That coming into the race off the back of a string of victories. The six-year-old has notched four straight wins, with Love Me Tender, Santo Sospir and Skylight Hustle other horses who could be in the mix when it comes to the final shake-up.
2026 Nathaniel Lacy & Partners Solicitors Novice Hurdle Betting Tips
Doctor Du Mesnil is one of several Willie Mullins-trained runners with a solid chance of landing a success in the Nathaniel Lacy & Partners Solicitors Novice Hurdle. There was a very solid effort at Leopardstown on Boxing Day when the charge was able to finish second in a big field. The 2/1 shot ran well over two miles although is relatively unproven over a longer distance.
You Proof was able to score on his seasonal debut and the 3/1 shot was fairly impressive when triumphing on sticky ground. At Limerick over the festive period, there was a nice victory over two miles, five and a half furlongs. The horse might be better over a longer distance after a previous midfield finish at Fairyhouse over a distance of two miles.
Doctor Steinberg has claimed three victories in the space of four matches, with Willie Mullins' charge having more experience than the majority of other runners. There was an early December success at Navan, with that coming after scoring at Galway in October. The horse has proven himself on different ground conditions and could be the best each-way option.
I'll Sort That catches the eye by virtue of securing four consecutive wins this season. Declan Queally trains a horse who ran excellently at Naas in January when obliging over two miles and four furlongs. This came after a mid-November win at Navan, with the 6/4 favourite scoring over two miles and there were also wins at Listowel and Galway.
2025 Knights Solicitors Handicap Betting Tips
There are three horses heading the betting market for the Knights Solicitors Handicap on Friday, with City Of Delight looking to land another victory. The four-year-old has been busy racking up wins already this season and the last one came at Epsom towards the end of April. The 9/4 favourite was able to oblige by half a length in the end.
That success came after the David Menuisier-trained charge was able to score at Doncaster at the end of March when fending off five other runners. However, he’s only trading at similar odds to French Duke who will return to the track for a seasonal debut. Roger Varian saddles a runner who was last seen finishing second out of nine horses at Ascot.
That was back in September, with the win coming after a Goodwood success at the end of July. There was also a solid effort in the King George V Stakes at Ascot when finishing sixth out of nineteen runners, with Tony Montana another horse who merits consideration. Michael Bell’s five-year-old was second out of eleven horses at Goodwood in early May.
Salamanca was successful on the all-weather last time out, with that win coming at Newcastle over one mile and two furlongs. There was something of a surprise that the 14/1 shot was able to win, especially after finishing fourth out of ten runners at Chelmsford previously. Stressfree and Thunder Run are other contenders at similar prices.

Final Demand has passed both assignments in his career to date and there could be more to come from a horse who is favourite to land a victory here. At Limerick in December, there were ten other runners fended off when the 4/7 favourite was able to oblige, with that fifteen-length win making the racing circles sit up and take notice.
Sounds Victorius was able to score last time out and Willie Mullins will have high hopes for a runner who was able to oblige at Fairyhouse when obliging over two miles and five furlongs. This came after finishing second out of seven runners at Punchestown, with the horse looking like a backable each-way price.
Supersundae is also available at a decent price and it would be no surprise to find this Mullins horse beating the rest of the field. This charge actually has an official rating and was last seen running at Naas when finishing second behind The Yellow Clay. He now has eight lengths to find on a horse who might be overpriced for the encounter.
After all, it’s been four successive victories for a horse trained by Gordon Elliott and the horse actually boasts the highest official rating in the field. There was a success at Down Royal before a double at Navan and that came before that runaway triumph at Naas which means that there’s plenty of value in the price.
