Boxing Day Betting Guide: King George, Christmas Hurdle & Grade 1 Clashes | 10/1 NAP

It’s one of the biggest days of the National Hunt calendar - Boxing Day / St Stephen’s Day — and The Final Furlong Podcast is your complete betting guide to Kempton, Leopardstown and Limerick.

Emmet Kennedy is joined by Andy Newton, Jamie Wrenn and Peter Michael for a fast-paced, opinion-packed preview featuring strong fancies, big prices, lively debate and the usual Christmas craic.

🟥 2:30 Kempton – King George VI Chase (Grade 1)

The feature race delivers a blockbuster clash:

Gaelic Warrior | Fact To File | Jango Baie | The Jukebox Man | Banbridge | Djelo | Il Est Français

The panel are split right down the middle:

Two are strongly confident about one horse

Two are firmly with another

A proper King George debate, with angles you won’t hear everywhere else.

🟦 1:05 Kempton – Formby Novices’ Hurdle (Grade 1)

Supreme Novices’ favourite Mydaddypaddy is short in the market. Do the lads trust him… or take him on?

🟧 1:10 Leopardstown – Juvenile Hurdle (Grade 2)

Always one of the most informative juvenile races of the season.
The panel split between Narciso Has and Barbizon, while Puppet Master — a Lingfield Derby Trial winner — is a fascinating recruit to hurdles.

🟩 1:20 Kempton – Kauto Star Novices’ Chase (Grade 1)

Kitzbuhel heads the market for Willie Mullins, but:

Three of the panel agree a bigger-priced runner should be favourite

Peter Michael puts up a 10/1 shot as one of his bets of the day

🟨 1:33 Limerick – Defender Novice Hurdle (Grade 2)

The team put forward 13/2 and 11/2 selections in a tricky Grade 2.

🟪 1:55 Kempton – Christmas Hurdle (Grade 1)

Is Sir Gino a good thing? Or can Golden Ace land yet another major two-mile Grade 1?

🟦 2:20 Leopardstown – Racing Post Novice Chase (Grade 1)

Romeo Coolio is odds-on for Gordon Elliott — but two of the panel back a rival to outshine him on the day.

With Grade 1 clashes, confident opinions, big-price alternatives and festive atmosphere, this is essential listening before placing a Boxing Day bet.
