12.50 Punchestown: Predators Gold
This horse created a good impression on his chasing debut at Navan where he easily beat the useful Slade Steel. He made all the running that day and jumped well, recording a RaceiQ Jump Index of 7.9.
He was a useful hurdler, placing in the Grade One Novice at Punchestown in 2024, and he looks to be a smart chaser in the making too.
1.42 Chelmsford: Gogo Yubari
Gogo Yubari comes here in decent form having won on his last start at Lingfield off a mark of 55.
He has to race off a 5lb higher mark here, but given that he still gets to race in a class 6, that should not prevent a bold show. He would be capable of running well in a higher grade, but this is an ideal opportunity to get back to back wins.
2.20 Punchestown: Sober
Sober was a very easy winner of the Queen Alexandra Stakes at Royal Ascot and is a very interesting runner pitched in to this Grade One hurdle. He had one run over hurdles at Killarney last season where he was an easy winner.
The fact that Willie Mullins is prepared to run him in a Grade One on his second start of the season is indicative of how highly he is thought of.
3.42 Chelmsford: North View
Stuart Williams is back in form and this horse has joined him on the back of an excellent second place at Lingfield in October last year. That run showed that North View is in good form and well treated off a mark of 78.
He is fully capable in this Class 4 grade and looks sure to run well on his debut for this yard.
