He\u2019s in brilliant form. Trainer Joe Tizzard has had a tremendous start to the season. He\u2019s won his last two. Rewatching some of his runs, he does jump a little to the right. It looks like U CANT BE SERIOUS will stay well. It\u2019s a lovely spare ride to pick up.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s improved a lot from his first run over fences. BLUEKING DOROUX is entitled to improve again. I schooled him on Tuesday morning and he felt great. It\u2019s a very competitive race. Willie Mullins\u2019 Kitzbuhel is going to be hard to beat, but he\u2019s beaten him before over hurdles. If it all clicks for him and he gets into a rhythm, I can see him running a big race.<\/p>\n

13:55 \u2013 Rubaud<\/a> (each way)<\/p>\n

Sir Gino is going to be very, very hard to beat. If he wasn\u2019t right, he wouldn\u2019t be declared. If he\u2019s back to his best it\u2019ll be a struggle to beat him. With RUBAUD we\u2019re going with his usual tactics: Sharp start, nice even gallop, and we\u2019ll be delighted with a place finish.<\/p>\n

He was obviously disappointing at Ascot last time out. He was schooling well beforehand. We have seen this before, he was pulled up last season before he ran a brilliant race in the King George. I\u2019m hoping IL EST FRANCAIS can put his best foot forward this time again on a track that we know he\u2019s comfortable on. If he can reproduce his run from last year he won\u2019t be far away. This is my best chance of a winner on Boxing Day.<\/p>\n

If there\u2019s one stand-out challenger it\u2019s Fact to File, he should love the track. He\u2019s got plenty of speed and plenty of class. If I could pick to ride any horse in the race, I\u2019d pick him.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s a lovely mare but ran far too keen at Worcester and Newbury last time out. HERON IN THE PARK has got plenty of ability.<\/p>\n

15:40 \u2013 Emailandy<\/a> (Good Chance)<\/p>\n

I was originally meant to ride stablemate Paso Doble but later switched to EMAILANDY who is down to his last winning mark of 129 from Plumpton in March 2024. I wouldn\u2019t be surprised at all if he runs very well. I think he\u2019s over-priced in the market.<\/p>\n
