Punchestown 2021

Lobos said:
I'm not a fan of Punchestown. The meeting always throws up some funny results as it comes at the end of a long hard season especially for horses that have taken in Leopardstown and Cheltenham or Cheltenham and Aintree. The track is the wrong way round, is quite tight in places, tricky bends, very steep incline and declines and is on an angle in parts. Some horses love it and some hate it. Fully expect some of the favs and festival winners to run poorly/get beat. Gives a chance to other trainers though to make a few quid. IMO It's also the reason lots of fancied horses win at the festival this year as they were able to be put away a lot earlier last season and come back really fresh, fit and well.

Good meeting to back Mullins second string at, no I don't have anything robust to base that on

Un de sceaux done me a big favour at the last 2 punchestowns

Think he was even third string in the first one

Il be taking on most of the hot pots as this always seems one run too many for a good few of them
 
Skelton is jocked up for Dolos at Sandown so I wonder if Nube Negra is going over too.

Maybe Champion 2miler Kettle has scared him off?

I backed him that time he was third-string, beating Douvan and Min - very satisfying.
 
Very much looks like Appreciate It won't be running at Punchestown looking at betting

“She will probably go for the mares’ race, but her performance in Fairyhouse was very good and she is in the Champion Novice Hurdle on Tuesday getting a nice fillies allowance, so we’ll see.”

Are these from the Sporting Life? Can't find the article? Market would suggest EIR is going to the CNH anyway.

Found them.......https://www.irishracing.com/news?prid=217559

Yep. No way EIR would be that price if AI was turning up.

I'll take that back after reading that article. Looks like AI us deffo running and EIR will be going Mares Hurdle. In that case, AI could be well odds on. What a sensational piece that is. He is very serious re Allaho being a potential Champion Chase horse. I'm with him there. Colreevy to be retired to breeding after Punchestown. Unlike Willie to tell people things like that ! He's clearly been on the Red Wine again .

Is it safe to cash out EIF for the Churdle then
 
...Sky TWEnclosure offer;

Monkfish, Honeysuckle, Minella Indo, Energumene & Bob O to win @ 28-1
 
Still a bit of 4/5 for Energumene in the 2m Ryanair Novice Chase. I think that's an absolute gift of a price.
He goes off around 2/5 - 1/3 on the day for me
 
....Honeysuckle & CH 7/2 Sky.

Seen that Jono and also Appreciate It drifted to 8/11, managed to get a decent bit on with Pp and both have been slashed to 1/2.
