The final Irish racing day of 2021 sees 7 races at Punchestown where the main event comes at 1.20 when 9 begin the Tote + Pays You More On tote.ie Hurdle. Cilaos Emery is a smart chaser who didn't need to be at his best when winning a listed race at Thurles 36 days ago. He won easily and looks like the one to beat on his return to hurdling. Saint Felicien impressed when winning on his Irish debut at Gowran Park at the end of November. He showed enthusiasm that day and with further progress expected he is the main threat. Wolf Prince is a useful hurdler who has been a course winner in his career. His latest win was in a hurdle here in October and he was a good 6th at Navan 2 weeks ago and he will challenge. The other to look at is Darver Star who after finishing 2nd behind Cilaos Emery at Thurles was pulled up before the 5th in a handicap chase at Leopardstown just 4 days ago. He switches from chasing to hurdles and goes down in trip so has a chance.
Big race prediction: 4: Cilaos Emery.
