13/10/20 Punchestown + Cork

 The week began well with my prediction Nobody Home winning the 4.50 at Kilbeggan. The 7/2 shot took the lead 2 out and went comfortably clear on the run in eventually finishing 5 lengths clear of the 11/4 favourite Brogine. 

 On Tuesday there are meetings at Punchestown and Cork with 2 feature contests. The first takes place at Punchestown at 1.40 when 10 start the Ladbrokes Watch Racing Online For Free Beginners Chase. Darver Star is the standout horse who makes his chase debut here following some decent hurdle performances. His last two were a good second in the Irish Champion Hurdle back in February and he was last seen finishing third in the English running of the same race at Cheltenham in March and his form is far superior then anything else in this races field. If your looking for a challenger then Exit Poll and Conflated are ones to look at but really it's Darver Star's to loose. 

 The days other feature is at Cork at 1.55 when a field of 12 begin the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Median Auction Race. Sir Lucan looks the pick of the bunch after a fine run last time finishing forth in the Beresford Stakes at The Curragh 17 days ago he should build on that and another strong performance is expected. Flying Visit has had a good year the highlight being a victory at Listowel in late September and he should run well again here. The other one to keep an eye on is Kailash who makes his third appearance in this race having finished 5th on his debut at Naas in mid September and a very good second at The Curragh 17 days ago so don't rule him out. 

Big race predictions: Punchestown 1.40: 2: Darver Star  Cork 1.55: 10: Sir Lucan.
