Punchestown Sunday
Killultagh Vic is back in the fray at Punchestown on Sunday following a long absence. He runs in a 2½m conditions hurdle over (1.40) and we're expecting a big run.
He hasn't run since winning a Grade 2 novice chase over the course almost two years ago and it's great to have him back in action.
He's been working very well and doing everything right at home and we thought this would be a better race in which to bring him back rather than running him at Grade 1 level at Leopardstown during the week.
