Snow Falcon heads 14 for Squared Financial Christmas Hurdle at Leopardstown

Ante-post favourite Snow Falcon heads 14 possibles for the Squared Financial Christmas Hurdle at Leopardstown on December 28.

The six-year-old, trained by Noel Meade, will be hoping to make amends for falling three out in the Long Distance Hurdle at Newbury last month when holding every chance in the race won by Unowhatimeanharry.

Meade has also left in Monksland, who took this prize in 2012.

Jessica Harrington has a fascinating contender in Jezki, who has been absent since beating Hurricane Fly in the Ladbrokes World Series Hurdle at Punchestown in April 2015.

Willie Mullins has six remaining entries - Clondaw Warrior, Footpad, Nichols Canyon, Shaneshill, Vroum Vroum Mag and Whiteout.

Gordon Elliott has left in both De Plotting Shed and Dedigout, while Mouse Morris' Milsean is the other Irish-trained entry.

There are two British possibles in Nicky Henderson's highly-regarded French recruit Kotkikova and The Romford Pele from the Rebecca Curtis stable.
