Hi all,

Inside today’s main piece, I conclude my festive racing review. Yesterday I looked at Boxing Day and Saturday. Today I’m looking at Sunday and Monday’s racing.

Hi all,

What a fantastic long Christmas weekend of racing we’ve had, particularly at Kempton and Leopardstown. There was plenty of drama, thrilling finishes and a few bubbles burst along the way.

Over the next two days I’ll reflect on my highlights from the four days. Today the focus is on Friday and Saturday, with Sunday and Monday to follow tomorrow.

Hi all,

The long weekend of top-class Christmas racing comes to an end with two further Grade 1s: the December Hurdle (2:32) at Leopardstown and the Challow Hurdle (3:00) at Newbury.

ITV Racing will cover four races from Newbury, two from Doncaster, one from Kelso, plus the December Hurdle from Leopardstown.

Here’s my look at the best of the action on Challow Hurdle Day.

Hi all,

There’s no ITV Racing on Sunday, but the Leopardstown and Limerick Christmas Festival’s continue with yet more high-class action.

Leopardstown’s highlights are the Grade 1 Savills Chase and the Grade 1 Christmas Hurdle, while Limerick stages the Grade 1 Faugheen Novice Chase.
