32Red Christmas Festival Prediction: The Most Awaited Race on Christmas Eve

In the upcoming 32Red Christmas Festival, we are predicting a jam packed racecourse with people coming from all over the England to witness what’s considered as an amazing setting for post-Christmas hangout. Talking about the 4930 meters run, we have Champ Jonjo, Goshen J E Moore, Not So Sleepy, Paisley Park, and Miranda. Odds on bookmaker suggests that Champ is the most favorite for winning, however, we might see an underdog sweeping the race course. Continue reading to find the top three favorites for tomorrow’s 4930 meters run. 

Finished first in this race at Ascot last year on his hurdling comeback, ran admirably in the Stayers' Hurdle at Cheltenham two starts later, and then earned his place as the favorite in the Long Distance Hurdle at Newbury (3m, good) upon his return. He acts on soft ground, is tactically adaptable, and is once more a top contender. Champ is likely to be hard ridden and strongly pressed run-in like the previous races. Champ has decent statistics against his name to be called as favorite for tomorrow’s main event. 

Quirky but intelligent over considerably shorter distances; most recently taking home the Grade 2 at Ascot (2m3f, excellent) from which Constitution Hill withdrew; acts on bad ground; major factor on RPRs; nonetheless, his Flat record (1m4f/1m6f winner) and lineage don't exactly scream 3m hurdler. In the past five races, Goshen has managed to secure the 4th spot twice and registered a win successfully in Limited Handicap Chase Race. 

Produced his strong finish and came dangerously close to collaring Champ at Newbury last month. The overall score between the two horses is 2-2. He prefers a stiff/galloping track and has form figures of 113 in this race at Ascot (the victories came in 2018 and 2020). The switch to Kempton is a drawback. He has managed to finish 2nd in the last race he participated. Paisley Park is likely to hit the hard ground, giving his competitors a tough time.

Going in race, we are ready to witness exceptional jockeys with their lighting fast horses on the racecourse. For me, Champ will be the favorite for winning and setting a new record for the day.

• Winner - №1 Champ for 2.75
• Goshen - Place for 2.20
• Paisley Park to Win for 5.50
