In a feature-race clash of contrasting fortunes, eight-year-old Beau Quali looks to break his luckless run as he faces stiff opposition in the Doncaster Bluebell Wood Recycle Your Christmas Tree Handicap Hurdle. The Neil Mulholland-trained veteran ended last season on a high, notching back-to-back successes at Newbury and Chepstow, but has struggled since, including a disappointing return from a handicap attempt in October.
His rivals are equally impressive, with George's Lad, who secured victory over the same course and distance just three months ago, looking to build on his recent form. The six-year-old has run well in defeat at Fontwell and Ascot this season, and can be forgiven for his earlier mistakes. Beau Quali, meanwhile, has been struggling for consistency, finishing runner-up on six of his nine starts so far.
Sean O'Connor's 7lb claim could prove crucial in the running, but it may not be enough to topple George's Lad, who is well-suited to this particular test. The winner of their previous meeting will be looking to follow up at Doncaster, where he excelled over this exact distance.
The two-horse battle has all the makings of a thrilling contest, with the outcome hanging precariously in the balance. Can Beau Quali finally turn his form around, or will George's Lad prove too strong?

so like, there is this kid Beau Quali and hes 8 and he rides horses for a living... I guess thats what Im supposed to be rooting for now. But honestly, I just watched this crazy video of a cat playing the piano on YouTube and it was literally the best thing I've seen all week 
, I'm literally hyped for this race!!! Beau Quali has been on such a rollercoaster ride lately 
one week he's crushing it and the next he's back to square one 
. But you know what? I think he's due for a major comeback 
! The kid's still so young and he's gotta learn from his mistakes, right? And those rivals of his are getting scarily good 
always running well in defeat. But Sean O'Connor's claim could be the game-changer we need 
if only it was enough to dethrone that lad. This one's gonna be a nail-biter 
Poor kid. But George's Lad seems to be on fire 
! He won last time, and he's run well before that too. This is gonna be a tough one for Beau Quali. Will he finally turn his luck around or what? 
Beau Quali's got this bad boy on the rebound after that last season slump and I think he's due for a big run. Neil Mulholland's got some magic tricks up his sleeve as always, so don't count him out just yet 
️
anyway did u see that new movie "top gun: Maverick"? i heard it's sooo good 
i need to watch it ASAP i've been stuck in this same old routine for ages and i really wanna break out of it 
And don't even get me started on George's Lad - three months ago was like, forever ago for him. Can't they just look at his recent form and try to predict what might happen next? 
just saw that they're racing at Doncaster on christmas tree recycling day lol what's up with that 
. You know, life's not about how we crash, but how we bounce back from those crashes. We gotta learn to pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and try again 
. It's all about perspective, man. Beau Quali might need that extra boost from his jockey or maybe he just needs to trust the process a bit more 
. And hey, even if it doesn't work out this time, we can learn a thing or two from our struggles 
.
