On Wednesday my selection Kavanaghs Corner came 3rd. The 11/4 joint favourite was 2nd until a bad mistake 4 out saw him nearly loose his rider both recovered and he was 3rd by the second last but made no impression on the leaders and the race was won by the other favourite Wishmoor.
The final racing day of 2020 sees 7 races at Punchestown where the highlight is the 2.40 when 14 line up for the Tote Supporting Irish Racing Handicap Hurdle. Debuchet returns to the course where he was a very good second in a novice hurdle 23 days ago he finished strongly and only lost by a short head and should be taken seriously here. Damalisque will look to build on two second place finishes this year at The Curragh in October and at Naas on heavy ground 40 days ago and he will definitely make his presence felt again. The other one with a big chance is R'evelyn Pleasure who picked up a career best win on this course 20 days ago,he ran well and came home by 1 3/4 lengths so don't discount him in this one as he could be the surprise package. The one who could upset the odds is Dalton Highway who was a winner when last seen over hurdles at Leopardstown a year ago since then he has also won on the flat at The Curragh at the end of June so should not be taken lightly on his return to hurdling.
Big race prediction: 4: Debuchet.
