Side with Sivota

SIVOTA, successful on the flat when trained in England by Tom Tate, can land the nap in the Visit www.punchestown.com Maiden Hurdle at Punchestown this afternoon.

The meeting is, however, subject to an 8am inspection, with the possibility of a heavy frost overnight a cause for concern.

Now in the care of Mick Murphy, Sivota made a solid start to his jumping career with two promising efforts. He made his debut at Gowran Park last month when taking fourth behind Prince Erik, with subsequent winner, Dani California, in second.
