The Christmas Hurdle and the Savills Chase are the features on Sunday’s card in Leopardstown and the nap goes to Ballyburn, who will appreciate the step up three miles when he contests the former. The Savills Chase is a difficult one for punters as market leader Galopin Des Champs is having his first start of the season and, rising 10, is entitled to need it. Therefore, preference is for Fastorslow, who, after a year off, ran a fine race in the John Durkan. In Limerick, all the focus will be on Final Demand in the Grade One Guinness 0.0 Faugheen Novice Chase. Jimmy Du Seuil is on the up and was also impressive on his only start to date over fences.
