VOLER LA VEDETTE made an impressive return to action when repeating last year’s win in the listed Grabel Mares Hurdle at Punchestown yesterday.

THE clash of two former Cheltenham Gold Cup winners, War Of Attrition and Kicking King, and the eagerly awaited debut over fences of Trafford Lad holds promise of some smashing sport at Punchestown this afternoon.

ROAD HOME can continue Jessica Harrington’s terrific run by landing the Auld Stand and Kellys’ Pub Ashbourne Maiden Hurdle at Fairyhouse this afternoon.
