Punchestown Festival 2022

Guiri look like he's been laid out for another big run in the first race?

Won last year by miles off 113, was put up to 123 but down to 119 now

Though the hobbs horse with shane fitzgerald booked just screams long term plot

I assume you mean Pipe and not Hobbs? Got Thanksforthehelp at 9's backed into 4's now.
 
Sam's Choice was a tremendous price last night but 4/1 looks about right. He should be the main danger to Freedom to Dream.

Classic Getaway back down in trip at 7/1 with 3 places looks a good each way bet.

Done an each way patent with Ceil De Neige.

I'm surprised The Nice Guy isn't shorter. It looks a fantastic race but he looked very very smart in the AB.

Allaho if left to his own devices to lead should have too much for the rest of them. Might do a reverse forecast with Minella Indo who has course form and has already beat most of these in the Gold Cup
 
Hills the only to price up the 6pm on Friday

They go 7/4 state man 5/2 three stripe life

Il definitely be having a few quid on TSL if he's gonna be that sort of price I was thinking he'd be 6/4 fav

I’d agree he should be favourite. He might also be a favourite to take on though. He’s been on the go a long time now & has already raced his main targets, exactly the sort of fav that regularly gets turned over at Punchestown.
 
Minella Indo boosted to 9/1 with Bet365. That seems a huge price for a spring horse who goes well at the track and has recently finished 2nd in a Gold Cup.
 
Classic getaway hits 1.01 in running and finds a way to lose

Been plenty of money for both the nice guy and allaho
 
Good runs from the front two there. The Nice Guy still looked pretty green on the run in, think we can expect plenty more improvement from him next season.
 
….Saxon’s Wow trends race, won last year by GDC. The Nice Guy could be very decent on that showing.
 
Minella Indo 8s with 4 places at Sky is potentially filthy stuff, but I for one am not ignoring it

Agree. Both look to have very good futures
 
….horses coming 2nd here have a fine Stayers Hurdle record. Firms immediately cutting Cocooner but PP/SB sleeping & still offer 33-1.

Allaho is some horse, wonder if they'll be tempted with the Gold Cup over the Ryanair.
