Boxing Day is going to be a busy and exciting day of racing. The bookies are expecting that Willie Mullins is going to have a good one and they really don’t want us backing his horses. Mullins has plenty of short-priced chances so we’ve combined six of them into a juicy accumulator. You can check out our free tips page for daily content across British and Irish racing.
Mirazur West (10-11, William Hill) was an impressive winner on his bumper debut at Naas last year, when making all the running. He makes his debut over timber here and has to be a major player. Currently one of the ante-post favourites for the Supreme in March, he should be winning this.
Jolie Coeur Allen (1-1, bet365) definitely should have got off the mark on hurdles debut at Tramore last month. It wasn’t Mark Walsh’s finest hour and Mullins’ charge can get the job done at the second time of asking here.
Loughglynn (9-4, bet365) was an impressive winner on hurdles debut at Punchestown last month and he’s a stayer with plenty of potential. There’s room for improvement in the jumping department and the step up in trip will suit.
Facile Vega (1-3, bet365) needs little introduction and he made a more than satisfactory start to his chasing career at Navan last time out. He’s a multiple Grade 1 winner and is well set to add another to his tally here.
Allaho (13-8, bet365) is easily the best horse in this race and is capable of monstrous performances. The nine-year-old showed he retains all of his ability when winning at Clonmel on his first start for 561 days last month and should improve plenty for the run.
Cantico (1-1, bet365) was victorious in his sole Irish point and makes his debut under rules here. He has a smart enough pedigree and he should go well, in the Galopin Des Champs colours. Mullins has been on fire in bumpers so far this season and this lad is hard to look past.
