Newsboy's top tips for Tuesday's ITV racing at Leopardstown, Catterick and Leicester

KLASSICAL DREAM (1.45, nap) was once regarded as a potential Champion Hurdler, but he can establish himself as the leading staying hurdler with victory in the Grade 1 Dornan Engineering Christmas Hurdle at Leopardstown on Tuesday.

Winner of the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle at Cheltenham in 2019, setbacks kept the seven-year-old off the track for 16 months.

Willie Mullins brought him back for the Grade 1 Ladbrokes Champion Stayers Hurdle over three miles in April, and he won by nine lengths. He faces a number of the same rivals again today.

A big field lines up for the Pertemps Network Handicap Hurdle over three miles, but it looks set up for one of JP Mcmanus’ three runners, A GREAT VIEW (1.10, nb).

Klassical Dream was Ruby Walsh's final Cheltenham Festival winner (PA)

The 10-year-old was second to Commander Of Fleet in a field of 23 at Navan just over three weeks ago. He should be bang on for this.

Cheltenham Gold Cup runner-up A PLUS TARD (2.20) will take all the beating in the Grade I Savills Chase at Leopardstown over three miles. The seven-year-old could not have been more impressive when trouncing a high-class field to win the Betfair Chase at Haydock on his seasonal debut last month.

Experience may give FURY ROAD (2.55) the edge in the Ballymaloe Relish Beginners’ Chase over the Mullins-trained Galopin Des Champs.

French import RED HAPPY (2.45) will relish the testing conditions at Leicester on his UK debut for David Pipe in the 2m 4f handicap chase, while LEBOWSKI (3.20) has yet to be stretched this term with two easy wins at Ffos Las and Ayr – and can make it a third in the 2m handicap hurdle.

SCOTTISH ACCENT (1.25) was second at Newcastle 10 days ago and stays on a decent mark for Rebecca Menzies at Catterick.

FINDTHETIME (2.00) is improving with every run for Nicky Richards.
