Races PRX Punchestown - IRE

Was very good when returning from a 180-day layoff most recently, beaten 18 lengths into third (4828m) at Ballingarry P2p. Fitter and expected to go on with it.

Second up. Ran second and beaten 0.8 lengths in a maiden hurdle (4023m) at Killarney first up. Will strip much fitter for the run. Shapes well here and bold showing expected.

Is a little hard to follow. Finished eighth in a 4123m maiden hurdle at Listowel last start after taking out a Curraghmore P2p two back. Hard to catch so prepared to risk.

Did nothing on debut when beaten 21 lengths in a maiden hurdle (4023m) at Killarney. Should be improved but place prospects appear best.

Was disappointing first-up last start when tenth, beaten 33 lengths, in a 4023m maiden hurdle at Killarney. Can't see him improving on fresh performance.

Gelding by Kapgarde out of Laconquete. The in-form Henry De Bromhead stable is likely have him primed. Worth watching closely.

Returns from a spell. Closed the last campaign with a minor placing in a maiden hurdle (4023m) at Clonmel, beaten 6 lengths. Leading contender.

Didn't finish at his last run at Tinahely P2p five months ago. Showing jumps ability and was close to a maiden success before last run. Happy to watch this time.

Finished 47 lengths from the winner last start when safely held in 14th hurdle. Would need to improve sharply.

Unplaced two starts ago in a maiden hurdle (3118m) at Naas then improved last start when he wound up in fourth in a maiden hurdle (3218m) at Fairyhouse, beaten 13 lengths. Can improve in this more suitable contest.

Made a strong return from a 253-day layoff last time out in a bumper (3822m) at Kilbeggan, finishing third when partnered by today's rider T P Harney. Key runner who is expected to feature again.

Returns after a break of 11 months. Last appeared when he finished fourth beaten 10L on his jumps debut in a novice hurdle (3319m) at Galway. That run came after a switch to the Willie Mullins stable. May improve.

First-up off a 181-day break. Needs to have come on after being in only career start, before another break. Watch for a market push but looks safely held on what he showed at first outing.

Not raced for five months. Closed off last preparation when fourth in a bumper (3218m) at Leopardstown, beaten 37 lengths. Others rate better this time.

Was disappointing first up last start in a bumper (3621m) at Sligo on May 13. Better than latest but prefer to see again.

Failed to complete the course in a maiden hurdle (3419m) at Tipperary last start following a seventh in a point to point (4828m) at Ballysteen P2p the run prior. Looks to have the job ahead.

Yet to strike a blow in two starts to date, the latest a 16 length ninth in a bumper (3520m) at Down Royal. Prepared to risk again.

Resumes after a break of four months. Finished off last campaign with a sixth in a point to point (4828m) at Bellharbour P2p, beaten 20 lengths. Looks tested.

Went around in a maiden hurdle (4325m) at Tramore most recently but did not complete the course at her first run following a break. Confidence may have taken a hit.

Filly by Cannock Chase out of The Awesome Alice. Tough test at her first appearance so prefer to see.

Resumes today for a new stable and is making her jumps debut. Minor each-way claims only.

Gelding by Getaway out of Gently Go. Doesn't profile as the likely winner.

Comes here 35 days after a 47 length 16th first-up in a bumper (3218m) at this track at just his second racetrack appearance. Facing a stiff test.

Eight-year-old gelding who returns from a break. Finished off last campaign when seventh in a maiden hurdle (4526m) at Down Royal. Tougher class here fresh and not expected to threaten in this line-up.
