RACING POST VERDICT
The O'Brien first string is CHRISTMAS DAY, whose Ballysax win earns him narrow preference over Morshdi and Item.
Racing Post Pick
Christmas Day
Our Expert Tip
Aidan O’Brien saddles the improving Christmas Day, who comes here seeking a fourth straight win, but the vote goes instead to stablemate ACTION. He looked a very smart two-year-old and if you can forgive his latest run at Sandown, there’s every chance he could bounce back with a huge performance here.
