Punchestown Festival

[Luke95]

A pretty good first two days. Todays fancies:
14:30 janes harbour & bayrann ew
15:05 mirazur west (been well punted from 8s this morning), gabriels getaway
15:40 theee by two, vital island ew
16:15 bill joyce
18:35 ksar fatal

sixandahalf, majborough, ksar fatal treble

[NeptuneByANose]

Jeriko and Busselton winning two festivals too late for me, and I suspect many others! Never liked the Punchestown festival…

Majborough certainly needs to improve his jumping, definitely an engine there though.

[Hurricane fly]

I know we aren't supposed to hammer people but imagine if El Cairos had a professional jockey

[Luke95]

Really like blizzard of oz today, at 8/1 earlier today he was probably my favourite bet of the meeting. Still think the 7/2 is fair. His chase form has been good and ties in with some grade 1 performers, and also some other horses who have ran very well in big handicap chases. Mullins has farmed this race over the years and this horse has scope to better than 141.

will also back willitgoahead, travelled into the race really well at Cheltenham before fading a little and will forgive the run over the national fences. Also feel the jockey change is a positive.

Small interest on Kargese after a less than ideal prep for the big two.

The Yellow Clay and Constitution Hill double for me for Beer money for tomorrow.

Soldier In Milan in the bumper, one I've waited all season to see, I'd like to see some money for him though.
Lovely Hurling has been patiently trained by Colm, no idea if he is up to this class but I really hope he is, the maxwell horse looks very nice too but...you know.
Would love to see Constitution Hill ping every hurdle then what happens happens.
No Flies On Him ew, they started off messing with him, last time out looked like he has gotten used to putting in zero effort, better ground and a big field might just get him interested.
Brides Hill carried a lot of confidence at Cheltenham, might be that today it repays the faithful.
Good luck everyone.

[Burrough Hill Man]

Prince Palace 12/1 ew 6 places pp. (14/1 ew 5 places b365).
Didn't see out trip behind Canal End lto, but no disgrace there, back down in trip today and in good form having won his previous race.

Add Final Demand, Teahupoo and Majborough to the list!

[FinalFurlong91]

Final demand will take some beating in the BANC

Could end up a monkfish 2.0

Really hope the yellow clay got up OK. Been a long season for him so can forgive a dissapointing run.

[FinalFurlong91]

Add Final Demand, Teahupoo and Majborough to the list!

I'm still not over teahupoo

How did bob do that

[Brooksie]

Was anything said about The Yellow Clay? Looked a nasty fall.

edit nvm Just seen a clip of him up and well

Although Punchestown has gone ok from a punting perspective, that just about sums up how things have gone post Cheltenham for my bets. How Blizzard of Oz has thrown that one away I’ll never know!

[Exar Essay]

I really liked Obey The Order’s PTP. Convincing winner at Curraghmore last October. Looked a strong stayer, but not short of tactical speed which should suit him well in his debut bumper. The second went to Henderson.

Interestingly bred; Soldier Of Fortune out of a Network mare.

With Phillip Rothwell who is 1 from 73 in bumpers which is a concern. But at 20/1 have had a small play ew in the 18:00 tomorrow.
