De Bromhead set to unleash Bob Olinger at Punchestown on Sunday
By Racing TV
Last Updated: Tue 5 Dec 2023
Henry de Bromhead is looking forward to running the unbeaten Bob Olinger at Punchestown on Sunday as the top-class chasing prospect is lined up for the Grade 3 Kildare Novice Chase.
Successful on chase debut at Gowran in November, Bob Olinger had Grade One-winning hurdler Bacardys back in second - with the third Master McShee subsequently successful in the Grade One BoyleSports Faugheen Novice Chase at Limerick over Christmas.
Analyse This: Ruby Walsh looks in more detail at Bob Olinger's chase debut on the Road To Cheltenham show
"He seems in good form and worked well this morning," said De Bromhead.
"There were a few options for him but this one was the one that stood out to us so we said we’d have a go with this.
“He was good (in his beginners chase). I think you’d be entitled to comment on his jumping. It wasn’t spectacular. It was fine. He jumped some really well but there was a couple he didn’t jump so well. But it was good. He won. It looked a very good beginners’ chase on paper. We’ll take one race at a time.
“He’s doing plenty of schooling. He’s jumping fine at home so we have no reason to worry about that having had that experience behind him. We’re looking forward to Sunday.”
The Grade Two Moscow Flyer Novice Hurdle is the feature race on the card and champion trainer Willie Mullins once again holds a strong hand with unbeaten pair Dysart Dynamo and Hawai Game heading seven entries.
A recognised trial for the Sky Bet Supreme Novices’ Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival, Mullins last won the race in 2018 with Getabird and previously landed the spoils with Min, Douvan and Vautour.
Leading the opposition are the Gordon Elliott-trained Gringo D’Aubrelle as well as De Bromhead’s Tramore maiden winner Guily Billy, who steps up sharply in grade after a facile victory last month on what could be a big afternoon for the Knockeen yard.
De Bromhead is looking forward to Sunday's race with the Cheveley Park Stud-owned six-year-old, who showed his true form after being overturned on his racecourse debut at Clonmel prior to that.
“We were disappointed but it was his first run,” de Bromhead admitted on Tuesday. “He possibly got bogged down in the ground but I’m not sure really. There was no obvious reason and he came out and did the job well in Tramore next time, which was good to see.
“Going to Punchestown for the Sky Bet Moscow Flyer Novice Hurdle was the next logical step for him after that. He’s won his maiden hurdle and now we step forward and see. We’ll learn more about him.
“He’s in good form and we’re hoping he’ll go and give a good account himself. It’s as you’d expect in this country. It will be extremely competitive but we’ll go and take our chance and see.”
Trainer John Ryan may chase a big success in this year’s renewal with Ferdia and The Little Yank while James Nash has included the 120-rated Hammersmith.
Sunday's card gets under way at 12.45pm and every moment is live on Racing TV and Racing TV Extra. Further details on tickets and dining can be found at Punchestown.com.

Willie Mullins: The Closutton team for the 2026 Cheltenham Festival | Racing TV
Willie Mullins might have saddled more Cheltenham Festival winners than any other trainer in history, but he insists he gets a bigger kick out of quality over quantity.
The 69-year-old has notched up 113 Festival winners since he started training in 1988 and will be odds on favourite to finish up as leading Festival trainer again next month.
However, speaking this week, he said: “I’m always fascinated when people say to me ‘how many this year, Willie? You’ve had six, seven, eight or 10’ and people expect us to have winners. We go there hoping for one and if we get the first one on the first day then hopefully we might get two or three, but we don’t go over expecting winners.
“We probably have five or six or seven favourites. Other years we’ve had 10 favourites and if you have 10 favourites then five will get beaten, but that’s the reality of it. I suppose half the favourites, or maybe more than half the favourites, get beaten at Cheltenham.
“So, I don’t expect, I hope for winners and hopefully the right ones will win. It’s always nicer to get bigger winners than 10 ordinary winners. Ten would be fantastic but to get a Gold Cup, a feature race or a Champion Hurdle, puts a whole different aspect on the week.”
Mullins sits down with Gary O'Brien to run the rule over his top team for this year's meeting, which includes Fact To File, Galopin Des Champs, Majborough, Lossiemouth, Kopek Des Bordes, Dinoblue, Mighty Park, King Rasko Grey, Gaelic Warrior, Doctor Steinberg, Bambino Fever, Narciso Has and more.

Gordon Elliott: The Cullentra squad for the 2026 Cheltenham Festival | Racing TV
Gordon Elliott hopes stable star Brighterdaysahead and some of his talented novice hurdlers can help his team kick off this year’s Cheltenham Festival in style, after a disappointing four-day campaign at the Home of Jump Racing in 2025.
The County Meath based trainer had to wait until the last of The Festival’s 28 races last year to register a winner.
But with a series of high-profile winners this season, Elliott is hoping he can put the frustrations of 11 months ago behind him.
Reflecting on last year's Festival, Elliott said: “It was hard for me but it was hard for my staff too. The horses were brilliant. We had a number of seconds and placed in big races – we just didn’t get the bounce of the ball.
“And in racing, soccer, rugby that’s the same – you’ve got to keep your head going. But as hard as it was for me, for all my staff who were putting in all the hours it was harder for them. The horses didn’t run badly, we just didn’t get the bounce of the ball.
“When you look at this season everything is bouncing right for us. That’s sport. You just put those days behind you but that’s what makes it better when you win.
“In this game you take nothing for granted. It’s day by day. We’re very lucky to have the horses we have and hopefully we’ll go to Cheltenham and have a few winners. That’s what we’re all dreaming about.
“It just shows, last year we had to wait for the last race. We hit the crossbar umpteen times with seconds, thirds, fourths. On another week we could have three or four winners very easy and you’d have gone home saying you’d had a great week but it’s sport and you’ve got to keep your head up and keep going to the next day.”
This year will be the 10th anniversary of one of Elliott’s greatest achievements, winning the Cheltenham Gold Cup with Don Cossack. And although his office is littered with memorabilia from some of his great triumphs, there is nothing from that day in March 2016.
Elliott laughs: “All the good ones are in my house. All the Grade Ones are in the house, in my kitchen. Every morning, breakfast, lunch and dinner, before I go to bed I’m looking at them!
“I can’t believe it’s been 10 years since Don Cossack. In a way when you look at the pictures there’s more grey hairs and extra holes on the belt but it doesn’t seem like it. We’ve had a lot of good days and bad days since it but it’s a day we’ll never forget.”
Alongside Brighterdaysahead, Elliott has readied a strong team for Prestbury Park and tells Lisa O'Neill more about the likes of Romeo Coolio, Ballyfad, El Cairos, Teahupoo, Honesty Policy, Skylight Hustle, Western Form, Oldschool Outlaw and Wodhooh.
