17/1/22 Punchestown

 Sunday was an excellent day with both my picks winning. In the 12.15 Dysart Dynamo made all the running and asserted himself 3 out. The 4/9 favourite was clear when he made a slight mistake 2 out despite that he easily beat Gringo D'aubrelle by 19 lengths. In the Kildare Novice Chase Bob Olinger sat 4th at halfway. He challenged from 2 out and was 2nd entering the straight. He led before the last keeping on strongly on the run-in to beat Capodanno by 4 3/4 lengths. Soon after he was cut from 6/4 to evens for the Turners Novices Chase at Cheltenham.

We begin a new week with 7 races on a second day at Punchestown where the highlight is the 3.00 when 13 start the Hollywoodbets Powering Jamie Moore & Daniel Muscutt Maiden Hurdle. Minella Crooner won two in a row at the back end of 2021 including on this course and was a promising 2nd at Leopardstown on his hurdles debut 19 days ago. He stayed on well there and going up in trip here he should take all the beating despite this being a stiffer test. Eye Van is a useful hurdler who was a very good 4th to Eric Bloodaxe in a Grade 2 Novice Hurdle at Limerick 3 weeks ago. He definitely deserves respect here back in maiden company. The other who should go well is Dublin Calling a promising horse who was 6th on debut at Fairyhouse in early December. He is likely to improve here and definitely can’t be overlooked. 

Big race prediction: 11: Minella Crooner.
