Sunday tips: Angus McNae's best bets for Punchestown

Our presenter and Sunday columnist Angus McNae shares his top tips for Sunday's bumper card at Punchestown, featuring the Grade 2 Sky Bet Moscow Flyer Novice Hurdle and the second start of the unbeaten Bob Olinger over fences. Enjoy all the action live on Racing TV.
12.15 Punchestown: Dysart Dynamo
He made an impressive start to his hurdling career at Cork and I am keen on him being able to back that up.
Dysart Dynamo won that maiden hurdle by 19 lengths, making all the running and travelling smoothly throughout to maintain his unbeaten record following two bumper wins.
Although this is tougher, I expect him to make all the runnning and win easily for the Willie Mullins team.
1.45 Punchestown: Farrawaybay
Farawaybay is still on an upward curve despite defeat last time out.
There is no doubt that she should have gone close to winning at Leopardstown, but she was crucially short of room approaching the last flight and lost vital momentum. She finished the race in her own time after that, leaving the impression that she was still in very good form.
That effort followed a win at Navan where she looked to be well ahead of her mark and, now off just an 8lb-higher mark, she can make amends for last time.
2.50 Punchestown: Whiskey Lullaby
This is not a strong beginners chase and she looks set to win her first race under Rules.
Formerly trained by Paul Nicholls, Whiskey Lullaby is now with Willie Mullins and shaped well on her first start for the stable at Limerick when third in a maiden hurdle.
She goes back over the larger obstacles here and can continue her revival having lost her way at her previous yard.
This handicap chase for amateur riders looks to be a good spot for Glenloe with Derek O'Connor being an obvious plus in the saddle.
Glenloe did well to finish fourth last time at Limerick given the number of mistakes he made, and stepping up in trip here should get him jumping better given the likely slower tempo.
Over hurdles he was useful and finished a very good second in a Pertemps Final at Cheltenham off a mark of 137. Given that he races off 129 here he must be supported, even if he may not be quite as good as he was a couple of years ago.
