Punchestown festival 2021

Glen Wyllin must have a chance in the last. Only about 2 lengths behind grand jury on a line through fameaftertheglory but is 12/1 as against 11/4 for Henry’s horse.

Picked up the ew money at least

4.15 Dostal Phil's form got a boost from Sully D'oc Aa

4.50 Demi Plie only beaten 1 3/4L by Elimay lto and only got 8lbs from her. Should go close with a repeat

7.05 El Barra again form boosted by Suprise Package on weds.

Worried for both Honeysuckle and Bob. Stable form is shocking this week. GDM is Townend's only ride of the day and the way the respective yards are running it wouldn't be too big a shock if he turned the form around.

Punchestown Friday

4:15 - I’ve gone for School Boy Hours here. Hasn’t won over fences but he’s had some decent runs at the track and might be open to more improvement.

6:35 - Looks set to be a great race. Caid Du Berlais loves it around here and if in same form as 2019, he could be hard to beat. I’m going to go with Bob and Co though. The fact Nicholls is bringing him over after having a run after Cheltenham where he unseated late on in Foxhunters may show their confidence in him.

7:05 - Keskonrisk seems a worthy favourite to me, and I can’t see anything I want to take him on with.

7:35 - Looks an interesting bumper with an exciting looking favourite. I’m going to take a chance on the unraced Stone Mad, however. An expensive purchase trained by Martin Brassil who won this two years ago with Longhouse Poet.

Honeysuckle and Bob Olinger double - I’m keeping the faith despite HDB’s disappointing week so far but hard to get too stuck in at the prices.

Bob Olinger a non-runner. He was found to be coughing.

I wonder is there something going through the yard. They haven't exactly being firing on all cylinders this week. Would make me think twice about Honeysuckle at 8/13.

Seems to be a big market move on Daghdha in the bumper.

Demi Plie looks a bet at 12/1 in the 4.50 at 12/1. PP paying 4 places. Was beaten a length and a quarter by Elimay getting 8lbs. If Elimay was in this off 11 one or two she would be odds on probably so must be some value there.

Comparing him to Big Bucks before the racing yesterday.

He wouldn't have even won at Cheltenham had Thyme Hill turned up. Bubble burst

You can't judge Flooring Porter on the race yesterday. He got very stressed before the start and it was a fight for the jockey to control him most of the way around. Klassical Dream was class though and would have beaten FP even running well

I'm A Game Changer looks interesting in the 4.15 with PP at 50/1 paying 5 places. In what looks a fairly hot race it may pay to go for a bit of value.

Came through for 4th at 100/1. Nice start to the day.

demi pele must have a sniper on him...drifting like a barge

Goshen, right handed track and good ground. No hiding place in the field against the Mares & Aintree winner.

Ground has actually plenty of give in it given the times all week so would have been fine for him. Gone is any notion that Goshen is or was a top class prospect in any case

The wonder mare does it again, she is special.
Stops for a breather and still wins going away

They sounded like they wanted to go chasing with Honeysuckle next season which would be unbelievable!
