Quantitative can ease to La Touche success

It’s five years since trainer Enda Bolger last saddled the winner of the La Touche Cup but Quantitativeeasing can right that particular wrong in this afternoon’s renewal at Punchestown.

Quantitative can ease to La Touche success

The ten-year-old was very unlucky to be carried out after the second-last obstacle when still going well in the Cross Country Chase at Cheltenham last month. While unfortunate, it served notice of the rude health he is in, and he earns the nap selection to gain compensation today. It’s worth noting he was only fourth in this race last year, behind Jacks Island, but returns in better form. Assuming he’s none the worse for his Cheltenham experience, he should take a deal of beating.

The danger may come from Rivage D’Or, who won the Cheltenham race. He was far from disgraced back over regulation fences in the Irish Grand National last time, and should make his presence felt once more.
