25/1
Made most to win at Listowel and Roscommon in September, and just headed when falling at the last in a warm novice at Carlisle last time. Bold jumper should give it his all again, but this is another step up.

7/1
Useful hurdler, but already much better in this sphere, and jumped soundly to beat stable companion Moon Over Germany in a Grade 2 at Punchestown last month. Respected, despite having to give 7lb to his main rivals.

Horse silk
20/1
Has won his last four completed starts, and made a successful chase debut at Thurles last month, scoring easily from Milan Native. Should progress, but this looks a red-hot contest.

11/8
High-class juvenile hurdler, and even better over fences this term, jumping superbly to score at Navan and in Grade 1 Drinmore Novice at Fairyhouse. Sets the form standard.

Only defeat for current yard when fourth in the Champion Hurdle in March, and jumped well on the hole when beating Minella Indo on chase bow on chase bow at Gowran. Exciting prospect.

Forecasts

Laurina (11/10), Fakir D'Oudairies (11/8), Notebook (7/1), Royal Rendezvous (20/1), Djingle (25/1)

14:20 Leopardstown - 26 December 2019 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

A race of rare quality, and while Laurina is likely to prove a tough nut to crack, it's hard not to have been impressed with the bold jumping of FAKIR D'OUDAIRIES so far over fences, and he can follow up his win in the Drinmore. Notebook is another promising sort, and should give a good account of himself up in class.
