With the Willie Mullins team in outstanding form it could be worth chancing the fitness of the 2019 Morgiana Hurdle winner
Newbury’s Challow Hurdle card on Tuesday is subject to a precautionary inspection at 8.30am but there are no concerns at Leopardstown where the Grade One Matheson Hurdle is the feature event on the final day of the
Christmas meeting.
An up-to-scratch renewal has added interest after Epatante’s defeat at Kempton Park on
boxing Day and Abacadabras or Saint Roi, last season’s County Hurdle winner, could join or even unseat her at the top of the Champion Hurdle betting with an impressive success. Aspire Tower, who upset the odds-on Abacadabras at Down Royal in October, is also in the mix along with Sharjah, who is going for a hat-trick in this race.
