Thursday was a mixed day for my picks, in the 5.25 Klassical Dream won. The 11/10 favourite was 4th at halfway travelling well to make headway early in the straight. He led approaching the last soon asserting himself, he kept on well on the run-in beating Ashdale Bob by 1 1/4 lengths. Gentleman De Mee was a non-runner in the 6.35 the race was won by Blue Lord who beat Coeur Sublime by a head.
The Grade One’s keep coming with two more main eventing Friday at Punchestown.
5.25: Paddy Power Champion Hurdle (Grade 1)
6: Honeysuckle: A top-class hurdler who made it 15 wins in a row when taking the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham 45 days ago. She beat Epatante by 3 1/2 lengths pulling clear from the home bend. She is very hard to oppose and should have little trouble winning this race for a 2nd year.
6.00: Alanna Homes Champion Novice Hurdle (Grade 1)
5: State Man: A promising horse who is on a hat-trick after wins at Limerick and a Grade 3 handicap hurdle at Cheltenham when last seen. That was his 4th start over hurdles and the manor in which he won was impressive. With further progress likely he is the one to beat.
