My final selection of 2020 didn't go well as Debuchet was 5th. The 6/4 favourite was 8th after the fifth he made some headway before the straight but kept the same pace without ever threatening. The race was won by the 3/1 chance Wingin A Prayer who came home by 4 1/4 lengths.
The opening day of 2021 sees 7 races taking place at Tramore where the highlight is the 2.37 when just 5 start the Savills New Year's Day Chase. The standout horse in the field is definitely Al Boum Photo who was last seen winning the Cheltenham Gold Cup for a second time back in March and he is also looking to win this race for the third time in a row and this top class chaser will be very difficult to beat on his season return,he should be chased home by his stablemate Acapella Bourgeois who hasn't been seen since landing the Bobbyjo Chase by 15 lengths at Fairyhouse in February and he is a very smart horse who will run well. Trainer Willie Mullins should take the first 3 places as he also has Brahma Bull running who's last race was a very good second to Minella Indo in a Grade 2 chase at Navan 40 days ago and he should definitely be respected.
Big race prediction: 1: Al Boum Photo.
