Another one you have shares in? If so why hasn't she made a festival yet out of curiosity?
She picked up a strain in December and wasn't back in training until March. She might have been fit for Punchestown but it would have been touch and go. The season before, it was thought there wasn't a suitable race for her so she came out the weekend after the Festival and picked up a G3.
If you watch the Tipp replay, she beat PTKO comfortably enough and didn't pay for it with her handicap mark. The only doubt I'd have is that she's not very big so might always be better at tracks that have easier fences.
The only reason PTKO might go for the new race is to go down in history as the inaugural winner. In any case, they probably realise that they won't beat a fit Robin De Carlow over the extra distance.
Is that an 'Official' endorsement Archie ??., .
I have R.D.C and Happy diva for the Mares chase.

I think the previous post sums it up, BC, and it also goes to my reservations about PTKO and the Arkle in general. As I said, RdC won comfortably enough getting 3lb and they are now separated by 17lb. PTKO has clearly improved but the handicapper has basically left RdC alone on the collateral form. I'd be looking at something like the Munster National but, until the revised NH programme is issued it's impossible to make plans.
