On Boxing day there are 7 races at Leopardstown, Limerick and Down Royal with 3 standing out.
Leopardstown 1.10: O'Driscolls Irish Whisky Juvenile Hurdle (Grade 2)
6: Willy De Houelle: A good winner in France who impressed when 2nd behind the reopposing Naturally Nimble in a Grade 3 at Fairyhouse 25 days ago. He travelled well from 4 out leading narrowly soon after, he was passed in the closing stages going down by 1 1/2 lengths. He is 3lb better off here and can take this.
Limerick 1.33: Lyons Of Limerick Jaguar Land Rover Novice Hurdle (Grade 2)
6: The Big Westerner: A decent horse who looked a useful prospect when winning on rules debut at Punchestown 32 days ago. She was 2nd two out challenging entering the straight, she led at the last and despite being strongly pressed she asserted herself coming home by a length. That performance showed she's well worth her place here and she can follow up.
Leopardstown 2.20: Racing Post Long Distance Novice Chase (Grade 1)
1: Better Days Ahead: An excellent hurdler who's highlight last season was winning the Martin Pipe at Cheltenham in March. He made a winning chase debut at Navan last month beating Slade Steel in the process and can win again here before moving onto bigger things in this division.
The big contest at Down Royal is the 12.13 where my pick is number 2 Downmexicoway.
I just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas 🎅 enjoy your festivities and all the Boxing day action.
