The opening race seems to be a weak sufficient contest and coach Tom Mullins and his nephew Danny can group up with Coral River. He’s been runner up in three of his 4 bumper begins together with to the closely backed Don’tstopthemusic on the Punchestown Pageant. Based mostly on his Punchestown kind and different bumper runs he might need a squeak, regardless of disappointing on hurdles debut at Naas earlier this month.
Paul Hennessy’s runner Falcon Park is a little bit of a profitable machine and has gained his final two begins at Punchestown and Clonmel. He had been leaping fences when skilled by Emmet Mullins final season, however appears to have discovered his mojo once more over the smaller obstacles. Revered.
Willie Mullins’ runner has had lengthy spells over fences however was second within the Grade 1 Stayers Hurdle on the Punchestown Pageant. He completed sixth to Residence By The Lee at Leopardstown over Christmas on his first begin again over hurdles and may enhance on that run now. Buddy One is fascinating but additionally has been leaping fences – which he hated – and he would possibly nonetheless be enthusiastic about that on his return to hurdles. The safer possibility for now could be Asterion Forlonge.
The function race is the Thyestes Chase and I like Nick Rockett’s probability on this 3m 1f check. He’s already been positioned in huge races over this sort of distances and coach Willie Mullins’ document within the race is second to none. He was a good fourth within the Paddy Energy Chase at Christmas on seasonal debut and appears one of many major gamers.
He by no means actually appeared like a hurdler final season, regardless of beginning favorite for the Betfair Hurdle final February on his debut run for Willie Mullins. He seems to be extra at residence over fences and completed second to Ballyburn at Punchestwon in November. Chasing can be extra the sport for Ocastle Des Mottes and JJ Slevin made a superb begin to life as retained rider for Simon Munir & Isaac Souede with Matata on the weekend in Windsor.
Gordon Elliott’s six-year-old was a superb winner final time in a maiden hurdle at Tramore and may comply with up right here beneath Carl Millar on this alternative handicap hurdle. His sire Ocovango preferred some give within the floor so the going ought to be good for Machismo.
The debutant within the Gigginstown Home colors was a €160k retailer horse and has been nicely touted by connections. Reckless ought to be adequate to make a profitable debut within the concluding bumper.
