Two good afternoons of racing in Punchestown, with the addition of a Cork meeting to make Sunday particularly busy. The nap on this afternoon’s card goes to Kitzbuhel, who was a progressive hurdler last season and just the type to have a profitable season over fences.
Willie Mullins’ runner starts off in the Conway Piling Beginners’ Chase and while this is a competitive race, his class ought to come to the fore. The trip may be a little on the sharp side for him but the ground will bring stamina into play, and Paul Townend can coax him home in front of Shuffle The Deck.
