5:25 – Monkish – 9/2 @ Bet365 & Paddy Power – Was returning from mammoth 713-day absence when a ½ length runner-up to stablemate Asterion Forlonge in a Grade 2 at Fairyhouse 17-days ago. Granted you have to worry about the dreaded ‘bounce’ given his long absence but the return to 3m is a big plus.
6:35 – Dysart Dynamo – 5/1 – Gen – El Fabiolo is going to be hot favourite after his win the Arkle at the Cheltenham Festival, but he can’t afford to make the mistakes that he made at Cheltenham around here. Stablemate Dysart Dynamo jumped well in the Arkle but he’s a free going sort. He did too much out in front at Cheltenham and was a tired horse when falling at the last. Punchestown is a more speed favouring track and his rivals can’t afford to let him get away out in front. El Fabiolo wins with a clear round but as we saw yesterday there’s no certainties at Punchestown.
Cheers
John
