Punchestown 5.20 (20 replies)
Interesting runner in the 5.20.
Won his point to point easily before winning his novice hurdle in a hack canter. Second run over hurdles he finished 2nd behind a well regarded Mullins horse who went on to finish 2nd behind the brilliant Bob Olinger at Cheltenham. His 3rd run was a bit disappointing to be honest, he was odds on and only finished 3rd. Im thinking the ground, which was pretty quick, and the distance didnt play to his strengths, back over 3 miles on ground that has softened a little he must be a player here. He is up against 3 Cheltenham winners but he definitely has an ew chance. Regardless of what he does today, next year ( hopefully) over fences he could well be a Cheltenham horse.
