Galway Plate on agenda for Punchestown winners
The experienced, 137-rated Away We Go saw off novices Pageboy and Cailin Annamh by three-quarters of a length and the same in the Follow Punchestown On Facebook Chase, prompting winning rider Paul Townend, to explain: “We were in front a bit soon, but I had to take the run when I got it.”
Winning trainer Willie Mullins later stated: “He’s a good ground horse and it was good to get him back to the winner’s enclosure. We’ll keep him going for the summer and the Galway Plate and Kerry National will be the plan.”
