Unfortunately the weather has played it's part again with Punchestown on Sunday being abandoned. The card should have featured the John Durkan Memorial Chase which would have seen Galopin Des Champs return to action, a date for the rescheduled card will be announced on Monday. At the moment Cork is still on with an inspection due at 8am on Sunday morning. If it passes then on a 7 race card there are 2 features.
1.45: O'Flynn Group Irish EBF Mares Novice Chase (Grade 2)
1: Dinoblue: A promising horse who impressed when winning on her fences debut over course and distance 3 weeks ago. She came home by 3 3/4 lengths beating another in this field Roseys Hollow. Further improvement is expected and she can follow up to give her trainer Willie Mullins a 6th win in this race since 2014.
2.20: Bar One Racing Hilly Way Chase (Grade 2)
1: Energumene: A top-class chaser who after winning the Queen Mother Champion Chase at Cheltenham in March went on to taste victory in a Grade 1 at Punchestown when last seen in April beating Chacun Pour Soi by 8 1/2 lengths. He is hard to oppose on his return and he should take this for a second successive season.
