Rely on Ranger to follow up

MATTOCK RANGER is a confident nap choice to continue a good week for Noel Meade in the Evening Racemeeting In May Novice Hurdle at Punchestown today.

He is progressive and consistent and will relish this three miles. The selection comes here on the back of a career-best effort at Navan last time.

He stayed on in fine style to beat Patsy Hall by three and a half lengthhs and the form was boosted when Patsy Hall scored at Fairyhouse subsequently.
