Three horses to include in a treble on Sunday

Ballyburn (1.55 Leopardstown)

This high-class operator could kick off a big Grade 1 day for Willie Mullins by exacting his revenge on Teahupoo in the Christmas Hurdle. The seven-year-old has returned to hurdles this season after disappointing as a novice chaser last term, and he narrowly failed to reel in his rival when beaten in the Hatton's Grace Hurdle on his comeback. With a few extra strides he would've got his head in front, so this trip should suit better, while his main rival would have been more of a threat if he was fresh.

Conyers Hill (2.15 Limerick)

The form of last month's Paddy Power Gold Cup is working out very strongly and Conyers Hill can enhance that in the Listed handicap chase. The Paul Nolan-trained seven-year-old was second at this track on his comeback in October and arguably stepped up on that when fourth behind Panic Attack at Cheltenham. She has since won the Coral Gold Cup, while the runner-up Vincenzo hit the frame in the December Gold Cup. He ran off a mark of 135 that day, but runs off 3lb lower on his Irish rating.

Galopin Des Champs (2.30 Leopardstown)

It is remarkable the price one of the greatest chasers of a generation is to win a third Savills Chase. The Willie Mullins-trained star has brushed all of his rivals aside in the last two runnings of this and after Cheltenham Gold Cup defeat last year, he brilliantly bounced back in the Punchestown equivalent. He missed his intended comeback in the John Durkan, but he has never been beaten over fences at this track and making his return over this trip will suit him far better.
