Tuesday was another mixed day for both my picks this time at Punchestown,in the 2.55 Abacadabras failed to finish. The 4/6 favourite was in midfield making a mistake at the 5th. He didn't recover and was pulled up 2 out, the race was won by Darver Star who easily came home by 7 1/2 lengths. In the other race Grozni won, the 16/5 favourite made a couple of early mistakes but made headway to lead 3 out. He was clear entering the straight staying on well on the run-in to beat Coventry by 2 1/4 lengths.
A second day at Punchestown on Wednesday sees a 7 race card and two Grade three's take centre stage.
3.55: Buck House Novice Chase (Grade 3)
4: Adamantly Chosen: A promising horse who has one win from three runs this season,that came on his fences debut at Listowel 3 weeks ago. He looked a good prospect crusing home by 8 lengths and should take the step up in class here in his stride. Despite some tough opposition he gets the vote.
4.30: Irish Daily Star- Best For Racing Coverage Chase (Grade 3)
1: Galvin: After winning this race 12 months ago showed improvement to beat A Plus Tard on the line in the Savills Chase at the Leopardstown Christmas Festival. He was 4th behind the same rival in the Cheltenham Gold Cup and was then a below form 6th in a Grade One here on his final start of the last campaign. He is the class act in this field and if close to his best he should take this race again on his season debut.
