Christmas Day
Maiden success was on heavy going; Group 3 Ballysax at Leopardstown (1m2f, good to yielding) on April reappearance made it three wins in a row and his Dante third at York (10.2f, good) next time was at least as good on form; while lacking anything like the same dash as winner Item at York, and also unable to get to grips with stablemate Action, he did plug on as if 1m4f could help; it clearly needs to.

From the connections
“Wayne [Lordan] was very happy with Christmas Day, he gave him a lovely ride. He won a Group race around here with Jack [Cleary] and then we were going to a Group One with him next time in France and he got a temperature and didn't get to go - Aidan O'Brien, trainer”
“Christmas Day obviously had a lovely run the first day, but things just didn't go right for him in a good maiden at Tipperary. Once he fills his frame he'll be a big, strong, imposing three-year-old - Chris Armstrong, trainer's representative.”
