12.40: Punchestown
TACTICAL MOVE – 6/5 (NAP)
Comments: “Not been seen since winning a Clonmel bumper back in 2019, it speaks volumes though that his top connections have kept him in training for all of this time, as it suggests they think he has ability in the locker. This race looks pretty poor and if he is any good he should be winning.”
1.10 Punchestown
SUNCHART – 3/1
Comments: “Smart performer on the flat who had a rating in the 100s at a time, he was last seen when going down by just a shoulder in a listed race on the level at Naas back in November, on heavy going. If transferring that ability to the obstacles he’s got to be in with a shout of running well.”
1.40: Punchestown
BIRDIE BLITZ – 4/1
Comments: “Bolted up at Ballinrobe on her penultimate outing back in May, and made a solid enough seasonal reappearance at this track when finishing fifth of twenty-two in a big competitive handicap. Claimer takes off an invaluable seven-pounds here, which makes her look attractively handicapped.”
2.10: Punchestown
HA D’OR – 9/4
Comments: “Very impressive last time when bolting up by the best part of eleven lengths in a Grade 3 at Fairyhouse last month. Yet to be proven on this sort of going, but it would be disappointing should he not put in a bold showing based on the level of form he’s shown so far over both hurdles and fences. Represents very powerful connections.”
