Leopardstown stages part one of the Irish Champions Festival today.

The Group 1 Irish Champion Stakes is the feature as last year’s winner, Auguste Rodin, takes on one of the emerging stars of the middle-distance division, Economics, and stablemates Los Angeles and Luxembourg.

There are seven more contests on the cracking card including the other top-level renewal, the Matron Stakes, which features Donnacha O’Brien’s hat-trick seeking stable star, Porta Fortuna, and Irish 1000 Guineas winner Fallen Angel.

We’ve got the best free horse racing tips on Paddy Power News courtesy of our stable of leading pundits including Ruby Walsh, Jason Weaver and Matt Chapman, but to give you a further steer, we’ve rounded up the key Leopardstown stats from this calendar year and wrapped them up in one handy place below.
