Christmas Festival tips December 26

Christmas Festival at Leopardstown starts on Boxing Day. One Grade One race will be run, along with a Grade Two, a couple of big handicaps, two maiden hurdles and a bumper.

Christmas Festival tips December 26th: Race 1 - Maiden Hurdle. High Definition makes his hurdles debut. Joe Donnelly paid £230k to bring Parmenion over from France. Paul Townend will ride him over Willie Mullins' second string Diverge.

Zarak The Brave was beaten by stablemate LOSSIEMOUTH in Knight Frank Juvenile Hurdle. Willie Mullins' filly won on her Irish debut.

Brookie won the Limerick handicap last time out. Tony Martin's five-year-old finished fourth on his handicaps debut at Tipperary back in October. Brookie has a handicapped mark of 110.

Fil Dor is the overwhelming favourite to win this Grade One Novice Chase. Gordon Elliott's four-year-old will almost certainly go off at an odds-on price. Saint Roi jumped fairly well behind Fil Dor at Navan.

Broomfield Hall, Final Orders and Brandy Harbour are looking to extend winning streaks. Embittered hasn't won for over a year but he pushed Big Debates close at Cork. Rob James will ride Embitter on Monday.
