Bacardys can put poor run at Naas behind him

The Leopardstown Christmas Chase, which headlines day three of the festival, looks an even better race than the King George. 
Bacardys can put poor run at Naas behind him

There’s a big field for a great renewal, with plenty of pace and numerous horses with chances. Sizing John is the one they all must beat, but I can’t wait to see Yorkhill stepping up to this trip for the first time.

Djakadam has always been a favourite of mine. He’s a great horse, is in great order but must improve to reverse form with Sizing John, who was spectacular in the John Durkan. He’s going to be very hard to beat, but I’ve long since thought Yorkhill could be a Cheltenham Gold Cup horse.
