With the National Hunt season fast approaching, in the 2015 Ladbrokes-sponsored tipsters competition, At The Races' Gary O'Brien was already in pole position, and with a 12/1 winner in Pilgrim Way at Navan, he has opened up a Frankel-like gap back to the rest of the field as none of the top 10 made any in roads to his advantage.

Next best in the tipping stakes last weekend came Donal Murphy who selected Val O'Brien's good servant Valours Minon at 8/1, a price that was matched by Vincent Finegan with Fit For The Job (8/1) at the Curragh. Other winning selections came from Peter O'Hehir with the impressive maiden hurdle winner Ballyoisin (4/6) and Alan Sweetman, Billy Nash and Johnny Ward all went with Dermot Weld's 10/11 Curragh winner Silwana.

The weekend action leaves Gary O'Brien with a commanding lead ahead of Cathal Gahan who has a clear advantage over Ron McKnight. Outside the top three only cents separate Ray Glennon, Declan O'Donoghue and Alan Magee.

Among this week's popular selections are Sovereign Debt and Bachasson.
