Punchestown 2021

I was expecting him to be 3/1 tbh when I saw hed been declared

Yeh me too. The Shunter @ 6/1 carries my money. If he was capable of jumping fences he would have pissed in at Aintree. Love his hurdles mark. There's juice in 11/2, lots of it. Tough card today.

My only other bet is actually in the same race - Low Sun @ 50/1 EW 7 places and a nibble on the exchange @ 80's. Willie has described this horse as 'lazy as sin' which made me laugh, but he does not want soft/heavy ground. His form on it is abysmal and he simply throws the towel in. Back on yielding/good ground he seems like a different horse with form figures of 51145161. Ruby gave him a favourable mention on the Cheltenham preview circuit as a horse that retains lots of ability, he just never went. The last few years have passed him by, but he's a Cesarewitch winner, a Galway Festival winner and is trained by someone banging in all sorts of winners. That little spin on the flat over 1m5f at Gowren was presumably getting him ready for this, and whilst I don't expect him to win, I can see him hitting the frame at a big price.

Away from Punchestown I am all over Minellacelebration @ Uttoxeter @ 8/1 but make no mistake, today is Wembley day!!

Yeh I've backed him. Hurdles will be easier for him that fences

Can the shunter do it again?

Looks to have every chance off 143 back over hurdles and im very happy to take 6/1 to find out

Thank you very much. I've tailed you this week and reaped the rewards.

With a name like that as well - if phone boxes were still a thing, you'd be popular.

charlie - I hope you used protection. You obviously pay well.

Had been a very quiet Punchestown for me partly due to work & partly due to lessons learned in the past about getting overly involved after Cheltenham but have a few e/w fancies tomorrow...

15.20 Burning Victory e/w 7/1
16.00 Palace Rock e/w at a boosted 110/1
17.05 Foveros e/w 33/1 & Sayo e/w 18/1

Asterion Forlonge has opened 11/4 in a race Willie has won 4/5 times. Willie is on fire and Asterion (touch wood) has been jumping well of late. I think he'll take all the beating tomorrow and have waded in, and doubled with Honeysuckle.

Keskonrisk looks a solid fav but I'll chance El Barra @ 12/1 EW.

Top notch there Charlie

knew it would be a Rocco horse but plumped for Elite Charbonnie instead

Cheers pal. Lets hope tomorrow brings similar fortune on the flat!

Not the worst day I've ever had

They'd be mad to go chasing next year imo

I'd say she's a near enough certainty to stay over hurdles. She will demolish all before her

[HoldenTheReins]

I love Honeysuckle, I just love her. She is incredible. Just get on for CH next year.
