1.57 Punchestown: Yoradreamer
Johnny Ward
Finished: 2ndSP: 9/4
I tipped a Willie Mullins-trained winner in this last year under Sean Cleary-Farrell, purely on the basis of proven stamina.
Yoradreamer certainly has that, and he bolted up over this trip at Wexford two starts ago.
Anna McGuinness, who takes off 7lb, is doing the steering for the yard, and it's exactly the same reasoning as last year's winner here.

3.27 Navan: Hazdann
Johnny Ward
Finished: 7thSP: 10/1
“You'll find he continues to progress as the year goes on," said Dermot Weld after this well-bred colt won his maiden back in 2024. "He's from the Harzand family so there is a nice bit of toughness there as well."
Alas, we only saw him once since – over 14 months ago – but he certainly progressed, finishing just behind Comanche Brave and Arizona Blaze.
That is outstanding form and he is worth backing on the win market at 11-1, given the yard is hitting form, too.
4.02 Navan: Drop Dead Gorgeous
Johnny Ward
Finished: 5thSP: 2/1
Her latest start, when trailing in last at the Curragh, was really disappointing, but she has a pedigree to die for.
She was supported as though she was working like a machine at home when sent off the well-backed 10-11 favourite on her penultimate start where she finished third, but was very unlucky not to score.
Aidan O'Brien's charge has to be worth another chance at 5-2.
