Snow Punt
SNOW PUNT returns to hurdles after showing promise over fences and looks well-treated on best form. Empire Walk caught the eye when runner-up in a field of 16 at Naas 52 days ago and looks capable of better on his handicap debut, while there could be more to come from Fairyhouse winner Kanog Bay.

Lightly raced gelding who finished gambled-on fourth at Limerick and found improvement to win decisively on his handicap start at Fairyhouse (8/1) 21 days ago, showing a good attitude under pressure and staying on well.

Third of 14 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (12/1) 28 days ago in best effort to date, took a strong hold and made headway out wide approaching the home turn before keeping on.

Made return from 11 months off in late December and bounced back to form when second of 13 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (10/1) 10 days ago, seeing off all bar a thorough stayer.

Solid hurdle form when second at Limerick and has shown promise since switching to fences, finishing third at Tramore on his second chase start. Second of 11 in maiden chase at Cork (9/2) 33 days ago, travelled well.

Lightly raced gelding who has achieved little in maidens and was seventh of 15 in maiden hurdle at Limerick (33/1) 38 days ago, showing more than previously but taking a keen hold and left behind 2 out.
