News
Alan King is keeping his fingers crossed Sceau Royal can make the most of Altior's absence in the Ladbrokes Desert Orchid Chase.
King told the Punter, "I wish it would stop raining. We all know he doesn't want soft ground, but he's ready for another run. We've been happy with him since Sandown. This isn't his ground, but he's in good form and we'll give it a roll."
Sceau Royal is one of five runners, with Willie Mullins sending last season's Arkle hero Duc Des Genievres back across the Irish Sea

The other Grade Two on the second day of the Ladbrokes Christmas Festival is the Wayward Lad Novices' Chase. Al Dancer takes his chance,

Chacun Por Soi, takes his chance in the 2m 1f grade 1 at Leopardstown tomorrow, Melon takes his chance in the beginners chase, Blue Sari goes to post in the grade 1 Future Champions novice hurdle, Acey Milan runs in the 2m 7f handicap hurdle at Chepstow, Fury Road and Ciel De Neige have entries at Limerick
