The week ended with both my picks winning, in the 5.25 State Man made all the running travelling well to be 2 lengths clear early in the straight. Despite a slight mistake at the last he kept on well on the run-in beating Vauban by 3 lengths. In the next Impaire Et Passe was 3rd at halfway leading before the last. The 1/3 favourite drew clear on the run-in easily beating High Definition by 7 1/2 lengths.
The Punchestown festival reaches it’s conclusion on Saturday where on an 8 race card there are two final main events.
3.50: Coolmore N.H. Sires Mogul Irish EBF Mares Champion Hurdle (Grade 1)
5: Love Envoi: A smart hurdler who has 2 wins from 3 runs this season. She found only the outstanding Honeysuckle too good when second in the Mares Hurdle at Cheltenham 46 days ago and can go one better here making her the one to beat.
5.00: Ballymore Champion Four Year Old Hurdle (Grade 1)
8: Lossiemouth: Lost her unbeaten record when second to stablemate Gala Marceau at the Dublin Racing Festival in February but turned the tables with an impressive 2 1/4 length win in the Triumph Hurdle at Cheltenham last month. She should have enough here to confirm that dominance and she is hard to look past.
