[b]Providing the cold snap relents, there promises to be plenty of top-class jumps racing taking place in Ireland over the Festive period, with Leopardstown's Christmas Festival due to stage no less than six Grade 1 contests.[/b]
With any luck, the close proximity of last Wednesday's re-re-re-re arranged Fairyhouse card won't have too much of a negative effect on the final entries, and the likes of [b]Zaidpour[/b], [b]Tranquil Sea[/b] and [b]Hurricane Fly[/b] will all be allowed to have a crack at another Grade 1 victory.
The rescheduled Grade 1 Bord Na Mana With Nature Novice Chase now looks set to be the highlight of the final day of the meeting and we could well see [b]Mikael d'Haguenet[/b] bid to quickly make amends for his unlucky defeat in the Drinmore. Willie Mullins' top-class...

[b]After several failed attempts, Fairyhouse look set to stage one of the feature meetings of the jumps season in Ireland this Wednesday and the perseverance of those involved should be rewarded with some top-class action.[/b]
The first of four Grade 1 contests on the card is the Bar One Racing Royal Bond Novice Hurdle over two miles and, despite attracting just the six entries, it looks sure to prove a fascinating affair. The Willie Mullins-trained [b]Zaidpour[/b] is likely to be a warm favourite. A useful one-mile winner on the Flat for Alain de Royer Dupre and a half-brother to Triumph Hurdle winner Zaynar, he was installed as second-favourite behind Cue Card for the Supreme Novices' Hurdle on the back of a very impressive win in a maiden at Punchestown on his hurdling debut.
