Ruby Walsh: Kilcruit can make class tell at Punchestown
HUGE TALENT: Impaire Et Passe was an impressive winner of the Ballymore Novices' Hurdle and can follow up at Punchestown on Friday. Picture: Healy Racing
Ladies' day and the forecast is set fair to see a monster crowd descend into southeast Kildare. Maybe it's just that I am getting older — which of course it is — but the crowd on this Friday evening always seems to be younger, and the finery on display needs the sun to shine for all to look comfortable.
The opening race is confined to horses owned by landowners in the county of Kildare. Regarding picking the winner, you should ask someone with a more robust view than I of hunter chase and point-to-point form, so I will concentrate on the second, the EMS Copiers Novice Handicap Chase, at 4.15pm.
Unlimited access. Half the price.
