Make it Mome to crack rivals at Punchestown

Following another quiet week, national hunt racing returns today at Punchestown and my best chance looks to be on Crack Mome, who I’m hoping is good enough to take the feature race, the Grade 2 Moscow Flyer Hurdle.

We were somewhat underwhelmed by the manner of his win in Clonmel, as we thought he’d win more comfortably than he did. That said, he gave the runner-up 15lb and she, Coquine D’aunou, who re-opposes today, went on to win next time out.

Given the weight we conceded and the three lengths we beat her by, on a strict line through her rating of 121, our horse is about a 140 horse, and you’d nearly think that would be good enough here.
