Christmas horse racing tips: the Willie Mullins accumulator bookies fear on Friday

Willie Mullins after a six-timer at Punchestown

The name Willie Mullins puts fear into the bookmakers at Christmas time every year. This is one of the last big periods before we get to the Cheltenham Festival in March in a few week’s time. Adrian Wall has highlighted three Mullins horses to follow on December 27 and they combine to form a tasty accumulator. Please note prices are subject to change and will vary from bookmaker to bookmaker. You can back the accumulator by adding straight to your betslip using the banner below.

It’s For Me (7-4)
Paddy Power From The Horses Mouth Podcast Beginners Chase
12.35 Leopardstown

It’s For Me has been off the track for 407 days but he has always looked like the type that would thrive over fences and he could take all the beating on his first run in the discipline. Fifth in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham in 2023, he beat Caldwell Potter when last seen winning a maiden hurdle and could be well up to making a big impact after his layoff.

Gaelic Warrior (11-10)
Paddy’s Rewards Club Chase
13.10 Leopardstown

He is a bit of a head case but when Gaelic Warrior is on his game, nothing can live with him, and the same applies here. He won the Arkle last season as if it were a stroll in the park, and if he’s ready to roll on his return, he will take all the beating. A class apart.

Ballyburn (10-11)
Ladbrokes Wayward Lad Novices’ Chase
13.55 Kempton Park

It’s Ballyburn versus Sir Gino then and there might only be one winner! Ballyburn! Last season’s best novice hurdler looked awesome on his chasing debut and that experience should give him the edge here.
