That is none other than the December Hurdle, run under the sponsored title of Neville Hotels Hurdle for this edition.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It features a Morgiana Hurdle rematch between State Man and the mare who beat him at Punchestown, Brighterdaysahead. Speaking of females, the chief supporting race on the card is a Grade 3 contest for mares only. Neville Hotels also sponsor a Premier Handicap Hurdle over the same 2m 4f distance that has Listed status.<\/p>\n<p>This completes the big four-day meeting in some style.

Willie Mullins has six successes in recent seasons in this very race, so anything he saddles is worth concentrating on. The improving type is\u00a0<strong>LOT OF JOY<\/strong>, who made all in the Grabel during the Punchestown Premier Weekend last month.<\/p>\n<p>She must prove stamina, but was a narrow course and distance second at this meeting in 2022. The yard also runs re-opposing <strong>Risk Belle<\/strong>, who chased home Lot Of Joy last time out and meets the winner on 4lb better terms. Henry De Bromhead also has a good hand for this, but there are going concerns for his pair.<\/p>\n<p>Both\u00a0<strong>Hispanic Moon\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0<strong>July Flower\u00a0<\/strong>are French imports to Ireland who want really testing ground. At the time of writing, conditions are good to yielding at the Leopardstown Christmas Festival and that isn&#8217;t really soft enough.\u00a0<strong>Kala Conti\u00a0<\/strong>for Gordon Elliott concedes weight all-round, meanwhile, for last year&#8217;s Juvenile Hurdle win at this meeting.<\/p>\n<h3>2:30 &#8211; 2m Grade 1 Neville Hotels Hurdle (Registered as the December Hurdle)<\/h3>\n<p><iframe title=\"Thriller! BRIGHTERDAYSAHEAD downs STATE MAN in epic Morgiana | Racing TV\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lsK6DLHWpdc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11362 alignright\" title=\"Joe Marie Donnelly\" src=\"https:\/\/bettingsitesreviewed.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Joe_Marie_Donnelly.png\" alt=\"Joe Marie Donnelly silks\" width=\"129\" height=\"200\" \/>That rematch between\u00a0<strong>STATE MAN<\/strong> and\u00a0<strong>Brighterdaysahead<\/strong>. The former may simply have been caught out by a lack of race fitness when they met at Punchestown. Brighterdaysahead already had a run and win under her belt from Down Royal. There is also the issue of the mare&#8217;s jumping to consider. It could be sharper.<\/p>\n<p>State Man, meanwhile, boasts an unbeaten record when completing over this course and distance. He has two wins in this race and a couple of Irish Champion Hurdles on his CV. If stripping fitter for his reappearance, then don&#8217;t be surprised if State Man turns the tables on Brighterdaysahead.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mystical Power\u00a0<\/strong>fluffed his lines and flopped in the Fighting Fifth at Newcastle, but could also come on for that return to action. He should confirm previous form with\u00a0<strong>King Of Kingsfield<\/strong>, who chased home his owner-stable companion at Down Royal. The others, headed by Winter Fog, are well held on all known form.<\/p>\n<h3>3:05 &#8211; Listed 2m 4f Neville Hotels Premier Handicap Hurdle (Registered as the Rathdown)<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11288 alignright\" title=\"Bective Stud silks\" src=\"https:\/\/bettingsitesreviewed.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Bective_Stud_silks.png\" alt=\"Bective Stud silks\" width=\"129\" height=\"200\" \/>A tricky concluding handicap to the Leopardstown Christmas Festival and no mistake. Royal Bond winner <strong>Tounsivator<\/strong> has a 6lb hike for his Fairyhouse heroics and the step up in trip should suit him. There are others lurking lower in the weights, however, and connections of\u00a0<strong>SA FUREUR <\/strong>look to exploit a huge disparity between his hurdling and chase marks.<\/p>\n<p>Elliott and Bective Stud have a seven-year-old with a 152 rating over fences. Sa Fureur looks chucked in off 134 in this sphere, then, judged by that 18lb difference. Two-and-a-half miles looks ideal for him, based on his Foxrock Handicap Chase victory around Navan last time.<\/p>\n<p>JP McManus has five runners in total in this big field handicap. Right down the bottom is <strong>Park Of Kings<\/strong>, who might be able to reverse Brown Lad form with\u00a0<strong>The Busy Fool\u00a0<\/strong>from Naas here. Both have shouts for respective trainers Paul Nolan and Philip Rothwell.<\/p>\n<p>Gigginstown&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Harsh\u00a0<\/strong>has a light weight too and needs at least this trip. Joseph O&#8217;Brien stable companion <strong>Comfort Zone <\/strong>ran well in defeat at the Galway Festival and has since scored on the Flat in a stayers&#8217; race, so has a squeak too.\u00a0<strong>Mr Percy\u00a0<\/strong>is a lightly-raced handicap debutant for the same yard.<\/p>\n<p>Others to note as the Leopardstown Christmas Festival draws to a close are <strong>Bottler&#8217;secret <\/strong>up in trip for Gavin Cromwell and two last time out winners. The handicapper has taken the Fairyhouse victory of <strong>Any Road <\/strong>literally with a 7lb rise and similar comments apply to Barry Connell&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Slane Hill\u00a0<\/strong>following Navan success.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Leopardstown Christmas Festival comes to a close on Sunday, 29 December with one final Grade 1 contest of the calendar year in Ireland.
