My Saturday pick Elimay won,the 2/13 favourite made all the running travelling strongly. She went clear on the run-in easily beating Court Maid by 5 lengths.
Punchestown hosts 7 races on Sunday and the highlight is the 2.40 when 13 line-up for the Hollywoodbets Grand National Trial Handicap Chase. Floueur picked up his career best win in a novice chase at Fairyhouse 2 weeks ago,he came home by 1/2 a length just holding on under pressure. He goes significantly up in trip here on his handicap chase debut and gets the vote. The Dabbler has 2 wins from 6 runs this season his latest was at Gowran Park in October. He was a good second at Fairyhouse when last seen 77 days ago and that performance means he deserves consideration. The other one of note is Champagne Platinum who achieved his first win of the season at Navan 22 days ago. He stayed on strongly to win by a neck and is definitely a player here. There are two others who can't be ruled out,Torygraph was a bit below form when 3rd on this course 44 days ago. He goes up in trip to make his handicap chase debut so should improve. The other one is Coko Beach who needs to bounce back after finishing 6th at Gowran Park 17 days ago,despite that he enters calculations.
Big race prediction: 4: Floueur.
