Bellshill to go one better

Not the return I had hoped for, yesterday at Punchestown, but we can look forward to this afternoon and hope for better luck. 

Vautour found the two miles too sharp in the Champion Chase. I was going as fast as I wanted to, I couldn’t go any quicker, but he was staying on well. Yorkhill had been to Aintree and Cheltenham and it was just a case of this being one race too many.

The feature of today’s action is the Punchestown Gold Cup, and my mount, Djakadam, has a bit to find with Cue Card and Don Poli on Aintree form.
