That might especially apply to him as he was having his first run of any type last time. Willie Mullins starts off some interesting types, notably in the first two races at Leopardstown, and they will provide an early guide on the readiness of such runners, plenty of his novice hurdlers in need of the run recently. Tony Keenan had a 16/1 winner in his last preview and marks your card for today's key action from Leopardstown and Limerick. Leicester have won nine of their last 12 matches against Watford, including winning seven of their last eight at home against the Hertfordshire outfit. Recommended bets are advised to over-18s and we strongly encourage readers to wager only what they can afford to lose.

Willie Mullins again has the favourite, this one returning from a 376-day absence, though the second favourite Starting Fifteen has strong form claims. Garcia was pushed to the limit to win the title against compatriot Rene Calixto, winning via split decision in their May rematch after a split draw in their first encounter. He has not lost since dropping a split decision away from home in the UK against one-time Inoue foe Paul Butler in June 2021. For the first time since his shock stoppage loss to Masamichi Yabuki in September 2021, Teraji is coming in off a defeat.

As we've seen time and time again, Stokes will bowl himself to a standstill if he thinks he can win a Test match for England, not only in Ashes cricket, but again last summer against India when his shoulder eventually gave way after bowling so many long spells. Tongue will again be central to England’s plans in this third innings, bowling that fuller length at good pace and letting conditions do the rest, and similar sentiments apply to skipper Ben Stokes. These boxes were opened the day after Christmas, hence the name "Boxing Day," the day of the boxes or "packing day," in more literal translations. The event has become an important cultural tradition in the UK, also serving as a marketing strategy for the Premier League, which stands out amid the Christmas break of other leagues. Celebrated the day after Christmas, Boxing Day is a holiday in the United Kingdom and symbolizes a continuation of the Christmas festivities, where people usually exchange gifts and take advantage of store sales. In the Premier League, Arsenal leads with 39 points, while Manchester City, with 37, and Aston Villa, with 36 points, remain in a tight race for second place.

If your selection finishes second, third or fourth, you’ll receive your stake back as Tote Credit, up to £20. If Sir Gino cannot rediscover his old form, then this is likely to be the horse that capitalises. However, Nicky Henderson’s gelding is a notable absentee this year, opening up the field for Sir Gino, an unbeaten five-year-old who already has two wins to his name at Kempton to go with a Fighting Fifth Hurdle success in 2024. The 2024 Arkle winner has proven a sound jumper so far, and in the expert hands of Paul Townend, he should prove hard to beat on Boxing Day. However, it’s Gaelic Warrior who gets the nod having proven effective over a variety of distances and ground conditions of late, having won the bet365 Oaksey Chase in better conditions as well as the Aintree Bowl Chase over 3m1f in April. Nine runners have been declared for the King George and it's a high-quality field with Jango Baie among the leading contenders following his victory in the 1965 Chase at Ascot in November.
