We're chasing a fourth win in the Coral Punchestown Gold Cup (5.30) on Wednesday and we're well represented with Bellshill, Djakadam, Killultagh Vic and Total Recall all chasing the big prize.

Bellshill has performed well on his last two starts, winning the Bobbyjo at Fairyhouse before being beaten only a length when fourth in the Irish Grand National. If the National run hasn't taken too much out of him then he will have a big chance.

Djakadam has finished second in the last three runnings of the race, losing out narrowly to Sizing John a year ago. He's also a dual Grade 1 winner over the course and is going into the race in good form. If he produces what he's capable of at a track he obviously likes he could be thereabouts again.
