LEOPARDSTOWN PREVIEW DURKAN NOVICE CHASE AND REST OF CARD: THERE MIGHT not be a reserved enclusure at this year's Leopardstown Christmas festival but Tatenen can still provide a certain exclusivity by landing the St Stephen's Day feature.

A total of nine horses line up for the €120,000 Durkan New Homes Novice Chase including some of the cream of Ireland's novice talent right now.
