Thought this was worthy of its own thread. What a field this year. Likely to be a stronger race than the Ryanair on paper!

Who do we like?

I personally think Allaho will win if he’s fully tuned up, but that would have to be a doubt given his first time out record for Mullins. A fascinating race in prospect
 
Indeed it does!

Looks a very strong renewal, and can see 2-3 of these going on to win more raced this season after this


Min - likely winner if ground wasn't as testing
Chris's Dream - hmmmmm
Allaho - This is one hell of a race for a novice to kick start his first run in open campaign. Never really been a fan of this horse so I'm struggling to buy into him. Likley to need the run
Battle - See my crazy ass post in the QM section, says it all. I dont think he stays
Samcro - too classy to run over testing ground
Melon - difficult to back, just need to look at jockey booking - others fancied. I do think the step up in trip is the way forward
Le Richbourg - huge ask, can't have
Tornado Flyer - feels like they're trying to get his mark down. Will back him when going over 3 miles


Have to back Min, he's top class and running over his optimal distance. Think he'll have too much class for Chris's Dream, and I'm not a fan of the novice form
 
I hope they price Min vs Chris's Dream as the head to head.

CD is a horror price.


Melon looks to not be running on merit


Samcro could be a joke price ...


Gordon sounded like he was expecting him to reverse the forum with BOD at least, at least that was my reading of his RTV int
 
Chris’s Dream might win this, above 5/1-11/2 might be a bet
 
I'm hoping battleoverdoyens race fitness will be a big advantage
 
Chriss Dream tipped up by pricewise. Probably why has shortened. I think it will be between it and Min. Id love Allaho to win but think it will need the run. Topping up on it anyway as think if has a decent run will be slashed, if wins it could half.
 
Very thick fog causing concern at Punchestown apparently cannot see the last fence from the post.

What a shame it would be if this was called off
 
Unfit for racing as of now, another update at midday.
 
Horrendous. Best race we'll have all year and we can't fucking see anything
 
That was nothing short of a shower of shit

Not a lot they can do about fog Ryan.

Chill out.

Wasn't just the fog. What we could see of the race was disappointing really. Tornado Flyer coming 2nd in that means he's either run his career best by a distance or everything else has run a poor race. Very disappointing, especially now the card has been abandoned. Should've done that at 12pm.

flyer was 33/1, backed into 12/1 before the race started so they knew he was in for a bug run, also conditions would have suited flyer

I say some hated the going, the remaining ran like crap

Allaho was one of those that disappointed.never been a fan
