ITS ON THE LINE 9/2 Punchestown 6:35 Has the beating of most of these judged on his Cheltenham Foxhunters form and crucially is a horse on the up rather than the decline. Came down at Bechers in the Aintree Foxhunters so hoping that hasn’t left a bad memory. Very much a hold up horse so fingers crossed he doesn’t get too detached or even hampered but his very able and regular pilot should be wise enough to make sure he has every chance.
Sandown off. Last year it was too firm, this year it's too soft. Difficult to get a race into a young horse these days.
So disappointed that Sandown is off. Hopefully they will reschedule the 3 Pattern races in the next few days.
Punchestown 16,15 Life In The Park 4/1 18,35 Chris's Dream 5/1 WH, 9/2 others Perth 14,05 Concetto 6/1 15,50 Doyen Breed 7/2
Hopefully they look at moving the races away from Sandown. How have they messed up so badly on the ground?
4.15 Punchestown-Largy Debut Each Way @ 30-1 [Paddy Power] 4 places Been disappointing but could surprise here
Should know better, but have to stick with my 'cliff horse' in the Grade-1 PP Champion Hurdle at Punchestown (17:25), namely, Vauban. He'll turn-up one of these days, I guess. Very modest punt, plus SF Vauban/State Man. 11/2 best price at time of writing, freely-available.
