Day Four at Punchestown
More Punchestown Festival Tips for Friday…
It is day four of the excellent Punchestown Festival or the Mullins / Walsh show as it has become.
The pair team up again with today with two outstanding hurdlers in the shape of Quevega (5.30) and Mikael Dhaguenet (6.05) in the Punchestown feature races.
The latter looks nailed on but Quevega has to overcome top quality opposition to win.
We found you a couple of big winners yesterday and hope to do so again on this, the fourth day of The Punchestown.
A Hunters Chase, that I can not possibly begin to know anything about. My tip here is to follow the market, which is always the best guide to these races. especially at the Punchestown Festival.
Punchestown- 4.20
Walsh and Mullins are likely to attract all the money with Ballytrim, but look out for any market move for the Tony Martin runner Hold the Pin. I would advise a small bet on Ballytrim, unless Hold the Pin is strongly supported.
Punchestown – 4.55
Again Walsh and Mullins are prominent but I would oppose Equus Maximus with Tranquil Sea who I think has the better chance. A very hard race, but Tranquil Sea for me.
Now we get serious! The Grade One Champion Hurdle where Punjabi seeks to complete a historic double. Despite the quality of opposition I am firmly behind Quevega who won the Mare’s Hurdle at Cheltenham in breath taking style. Predictably Walsh rides for, you guessed it, Willie Mullins on this Mare.
Punchestown- 6.05
Mikael Dhaguenet is the best novice I have seen and should win this, for yes, Mullins and Walsh, albeit at a skinny price. You can not oppose the Ballymoore Properties winner.
Punchestown- 6.40
Copper Bleu could provide a rare English winner for Philip Hobbs, but faces a tough test. A competitive race but Copper Bleu has the best form in the book.
Punchestown- 7.05 and 7.45
I can not offer much in the way of insight, other than that which brought us a winner yesterday, Willie Mullins in bumpers!
I hope that you have another good day. It certainly will be a good day if you open a BoyleSports account and get £200 of Free Bets…BoyleSports will also pay better terms than most bookmakers on Each-Way bets in Big Handicaps.
