TWO MORE GRADE 1 RACES: A double dose of Grade 1 action on the third day of the Christmas Festival at Leopardstown on Friday.
The stellar Leopardstown card continues with two Grade 1’s the highlight of Friday’s action.
It’s very hard to envisage defeat for Apple’s Jade as she bids for back to back wins in the Squared Financial Christmas Hurdle at 1.50pm. Faugheen still has questions to answer as to his current well being whereas the mare couldn’t be in better form coming into the race.
In the second Grade 1 race of the day, the Savills Chase at 3.00pm, Road To Respect is also out to repeat his win of 12 months ago. The Noel Meade trained chaser was impressive on comeback when winning the JNwine.com Champion Chase at Down Royal last month and is likely to take plenty of beating here.
He holds both Balko Des Flos and Outlander on the Down Royal form AND on the form of this race last year. A bigger danger might come from Bellshill on his seasonal reappearance.
SHAMROCK’S BETS:
