Leopardstown and Limerick tips: Buildmeupbuttercup value against Concertista

The ground was really testing at Limerick, which is to be expected, and at Leopardstown, which is more unusual, yesterday.

Essentially, you are taking a major risk backing horses with stamina issues, even if that sort of thesis seemed to completely go out the window in a baffling Savills Chase.

Leopardstown's Christmas Festival concludes on Tuesday, while we have the third day of action at Limerick. Be lucky and, to that end, here's an appealing each-way treble.

This horse put in a smashing round of jumping at Fairyhouse, when it looked as though she did not quite get home but over this trip and back in mares' company she makes plenty of appeal. Scarlet And Dove looks the only danger.

Concertista could be a class apart here but she's accordingly priced, I'm not convinced she'll enjoy conditions over the trip, and Buildmeupbuttercup is far bigger in the betting despite having only 3lb to find with her at the weights. Having been regarded as a bit of a perennial loser, she's now won three from four, and the race should be run to suit. It is hard not to see her going very close.

This horse has made giant strides for Willie Mullins and he can reverse form with Abacadabras, who looks increasingly unreliable when it comes to a battle. Saint Roi was too fresh at Punchestown but he has no excuses here and should win.
