The Ballymore Group Risk Of Thunder Chase opens the card at Punchestown and Neverushacon can go one place better than in 2019 when he finished runner-up to Yanworth. That was his debut over the banks course, and he had one of today’s main rivals, Ballyboker Bridge, behind him on that occasion.
The selection later went on to win over the course and, in doing so, confirmed the form with Ballyboker Bridge. The latter has tonnes of experience of this course, jumps particularly well around here, and is respected, but he is now rising 14 and will do well to reverse form with the selection, who is four years his junior.
