Hoping to unravel Mystic’s desire to win

THE Christmas festival at Leopardstown was launched on Tuesday and it really is an event you look forward to.

We have made our entries for the big races. Oscars Well and Gimli’s Rock are in the Istabraq Festival Hurdle, Jenari is in the Future Champions Novice Hurdle, Saludos is in the Paddy Power Dial-A-Bet Chase and Bostons Angel is in the Lexus, although I have nothing for the Paddy Power handicap this year.

All are well at the moment and Gimli’s Rock is back from a wind operation, so I’m hoping he will show the benefits of that.
