Oscars Well targeting Punchestown compensation

OSCARS WELL is set to drop to the minimum distance at the Punchestown Festival following his luckless defeat at Cheltenham last week.

Jessica Harrington’s dual Grade One winner held a narrow advantage jumping the final flight in the Neptune Investment Management Novices’ Hurdle, but sprawled badly on landing, losing all chance of victory.

The six-year-old ended up finishing fourth and Harrington is hoping her charge has more luck on his side on home soil, where he is likely to run over two miles.
