After a short Christmas break Irish racing returns on Boxing day with 3 meetings 21 races in total and 3 contests standing out.
Leopardstown 1.10: Knight Frank Juvenile Hurdle (Grade 2)
8: Lossiemouth: A promising horse who impressed on debut for Willie Mullins when winning a Grade 3 at Fairyhouse earlier this month. That performance saw her jump to the top of the betting for the Triumph Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival and with better to come she can follow up here.
Leopardstown 2.20: Brand New Racing Post App Novice Chase (Grade 1)
3: Saint Roi: A smart hurdler who was second behind another rival in this field Fil Dor on his fences debut at Navan 29 days ago. He is 2lb better off here and can reverse the placings for a yard which has won this race 7 times since 2011.
Limerick 2.40: Guinness Faugheen Novice Chase (Grade 1)
4: Gerri Colombe: Picked up his career best win on his fences debut at Fairyhouse 41 days ago. That maintained his unbeaten record and he should take this step up in class in his stride. His yard is in good form and he can make it 6 in a row here with another bold show.
There is also a card at Down Royal where the big race comes at 12.13 the Connolly's Red Mills Irish EBF Auction Maiden Hurdle which should go to number 6 Mel Monroe.
