Punchestown Betting Odds

Has been in fine form following the application of cheekpieces, finishing third in a mares listed handicap on her latest hurdles start, prior to a pair of fairly useful placed efforts on the Flat last month.

Fairly useful French juvenile hurdle winner who defied market expectations and a 28-month absence to make a winning stable/British debut at Newbury 2m in March, picking up well to lead in the dying strides. He's been given time to get over those exertions and could progress again.

€180,000 point recruit who made the most of a good opportunity in a Thurles maiden in March but wasn't seen to anything like best effect when seventh of 21 on handicap debut at Fairyhouse. This should play out more favourably, and he's well worth another chance.

Justified support when making the most of a good opportunity in a Wetherby maiden in late-March. Could be interesting now sent handicapping by yard who did well at this Festival last year and have enjoyed some notable handicap success this season.

Point/bumper winner who finished second in a competitive 20-runner race at the Galway Festival (2¾m) prior to landing the odds in a Downpatrick (2¼m) maiden last September, and he's very much unexposed on just his second start in handicap company.

Has remained in good form since opening his account at Thurles in December, and having been far from ideally placed when eighth of 19 on handicap debut at Down Royal in March, he's fancied to do better for yard who won this race 12 months ago.

Useful Flat performer hasn't built on a promising hurdle debut but is the type to do better now handicapping, her mark potentially a lenient one given her ability on the level.

Crystal Ocean mare ran out a decisive winner in a first-time hood at Limerick in February. Well held in a competitive race on her handicap bow at Fairyhouse subsequently, but she's surely better than that. Headgear goes back on.

Successful on handicap hurdle debut at Leopardstown in early-March and confirmed that improvement when runner-up on first start over fences at Downpatrick. She's low mileage and cannot be discounted with tongue strap back on for hurdles return.

Handicap debutant is potentially well treated on the form of his Bellewstown maiden win in July 2024, though there wasn't enough encouragement in his comeback run on the Flat to make him of serious interest.

Strong-travelling sort had been knocking on the door in handicaps before finishing well beaten under softer conditions at Cheltenham in November. He should find this a much more suitable test and isn't ruled out if ready to roll.

Again wasn't seen to best effect in this sphere when third of 5 in a Fairyhouse novice on latest hurdle start, but he should find this run to suit and makes each-way appeal on the back of a pipe-opener at the Curragh last time.

Solid fourth in a listed handicap hurdle at Listowel last season and was clearly in fine heart when ending a long losing run on the Flat at Dundalk in December. Worth considering back over jumps, especially if supported.

Likeable mare shaped with promise in a pair of handicaps here last winter and posted another creditable effort when third in a mares handicap at Bellewstown last time. No surprise to see her in the mix again.

Free-going sort readily opened her hurdles account at the second time of asking and reproduced that form when runner-up in a Naas novice last November. The switch to a big-field handicap ought to suit and she could be capable of even better.

Debut bumper winner posted a fairly useful effort when fifth in a novice hurdle at Naas last season and likely needed the run following 13 months off at Fairyhouse in early-April. Cannot be totally discounted with cheekpieces added on just his second handicap start.

Hasn't kicked on from a breakthrough success over hurdles at Listowel, though wasn't ideally placed on her latest hurdle start and was probably having a pipe-opener on her return to the Flat last time. Yard also saddle Chichester Park.

Made it back-to-back handicaps in heavy ground at Fairyhouse in February and resumed progress when third in a fairly useful handicap at Clonmel (soft) on his latest start. Likely to face less-testing conditions here but does arrive with a positive profile.

Has been going through the motions over hurdles since running a stormer to finish fourth in a competitive handicap at the Galway Festival last summer, but at least merits a market check given who trains him.

French bumper winner hasn't stood much racing and proved no more tractable for the fitting of a first-time tongue strap when down the field on handicap bow at Fairyhouse.

Dual winner around 2m in maiden/novice company but turned in a rare poor effort over hurdles when well beaten at Fairyhouse last time. Likely to come up short, even if refitted cheekpieces have the desired effect.

Went backwards in this sphere following a winning hurdle debut at Navan last spring. Has since left M. D. O'Callaghan and faces an uphill task at the weights on handicap/stable debut.

Landed the second leg of a double here last season but things clearly haven't gone to plan since falling at Naas this time last year.

Decisive winner of a Downpatrick handicap hurdle last July but returns in blinkers, following a laboured effort in a handicap chase there the following month.

Went close on a couple of occasions last year, and having likely needed the run in the Sussex Champion Hurdle at Plumpton on his latest start, he's entitled to be in the mix if lining up. RESERVE.

Held her form well for most of last year, winning twice over this trip, but she clearly wasn't over her Cheltenham fall when trailing the field at Navan in November. RESERVE.

Out of sorts in this sphere last year and it's hard to be confident on the back of a below-part effort on the Flat at Leopardstown 3 weeks ago. RESERVE.

Had excuses in bumpers prior to making a successful hurdling debut at Downpatrick and is best not judged on his final start for Gavin Cromwell in a Grade 3 last November. May do better now sent handicapping by new yard.
