The weekend ended on a poor note with my selection Street's Of Doyen coming 6th. The 14/1 chance tracked the leaders early but dropped to last two out. He picked up one place at the last but made no impression. The race was won by the 11/8 favourite Echoes In Rain.
The week begins with 7 races at Punchestown.The weather put pay to this meeting last Wednesday and so the highlight on Monday is the opening contest at 1.45 when 9 line-up for the rescheduled Quevega Mares Hurdle. Black Tears is a useful horse who was below form when finishing third in the EBF Mares Hurdle at Leopardstown at the end of December,she should bounce back and is a big player here. Great White Shark has picked up one win from two runs this season that was a very good 3 length victory at Newmarket back in October, a 7th placed finish in the John Mulhern Galmoy Hurdle at Gowran Park at the end of January can be overlooked and she is the main challenger. Global Equity returns after finishing a very creditable 2nd in a listed hurdle at Navan just over a week ago and should make her presence felt. The other one to look at is Lunar Display who was a very good third in the same Navan hurdle eight days ago and definitely has a good chance here as well.
Big race prediction: 3: Black Tears.
