My Saturday selection The Bosses Oscar came 2nd. The 3/1 favourite was up with the leaders and went 3rd 2 out,he kept on well and moved into 2nd on the run-in but he was no match for the 22/1 winner Flooring Porter who easily came home by 12 lengths.
A busy Sunday rounds off the weekend with 8 races at Cork and 7 at Punchestown. The big race at Cork is at 1.25 when 7 start the Kerry Group Hilly Way Chase. Chacun Pour Soi has had four career wins his last was his best at Leopardstown at the beginning of February where he came home by 3 3/4 lengths,being off 10 months means he has a good chance of making a winning return here. Cash Back is a good chaser who was a unfortunate faller at the first when last seen in the Poplar Square Chase at Naas 15 days ago that was on heavy ground and if his stablemate Chacun Pour Soi underperformes then he will definitely capitalise. Chosen Mate is the other one to have a look at his last outing was a 4th at Tipperary at the beginning of October in a race won by the impressive Saint Roi so he shouldn't be ruled out of this one as he still has improvements to make.
The feature at Punchestown is at 2.10 when 18 begin the Gift A Punchestown Voucher This Christmas Handicap Hurdle. The Great White runs for only the fifth time here but is improving with every race his last was a very good 4th at Fairyhouse 23 days ago and going back up in trip to 2 miles 4 furlongs here means he has an excellent chance of picking up his first win. Broomfields Jeremy is the main danger he was third in a novice hurdle at Kilbeggan 55 days ago in his last race and making his handicap hurdle debut here puts him high up on the shortlist. The other danger is R'Evelyn Pleasure who hasn't won since the beginning of 2019 but was a creditable 3rd when last seen at Thurles 17 days ago so don't overlook him.
Big race predictions:Cork 1.25: 1: Chacun Pour Soi.
Punchestown 2.10: 17: The Great White.
