Punchestown Placepot picks: Paul Kealy puts his faith in a couple of bankers
Punchestown's Placepot is going to take some winning, but it still makes more appeal than the largely weak fare in Britain.
In the opener (3.40), seemingly ran well above her mark in a conditions hurdle at Cork last time and has been barely touched by the handicapper. She must go well under Jordan Gainford, while shaped well on his first run for five months a couple of weeks ago and goes in too.
should run a big race in the second (4.15), but it's a massive field so we'll add , who gets a good pull with Jungle Junction from their Fairyhouse run 25 days ago.
In the next (4.50), appears to have found his forte in cross-country races and as there is no Tiger Roll or Easysland to worry about, he looks banker material.
is the one to beat in the feature (5.25), and while I'm betting against him, getting him out of the first three is not going to be easy. goes in as back-up.
Leg five (6.00) is really hard. looks like he's now improving over hurdles for Jessica Harrington and gets the main vote. He is joined by , who shaped well back over hurdles last month, and , who has a good claimer onboard and could improve for the step up in trip.
Thankfully the final leg (6.35) is much easier and there's little point in opposing , who should be winning this with a clear round.
