The best on a very poor Friday at Punchestown came from Constitution Hill who was 5th. The 8/13 favourite made headway from 4 out going 3rd soon after, he lost ground from 2 out having no extra. Upfront State Man beat Golden Ace by 4 1/4 lengths. In the other race The Yellow Clay failed to finish falling at the last.
The Punchestown festival reaches it’s conclusion on Saturday with 2 final Grade one’s topping the bill.
3.42: SBK Irish EBF Mares Champion Hurdle (Grade 1)
1: Brighterdaysahead: A good horse who after winning a Grade one at Leopardstown in December by an impressive 30 lengths put in a rare below par run when 4th in the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham on her last outing in March. That should be discounted and she can quickly resume winning ways here.
4.50: Ballymore Champion Four Year Old Hurdle (Grade 1)
6: Lulamba: An exciting horse who caught the eye when winning at Ascot in January. He built on that when an excellent 2nd behind the reopposing Poniros in the Triumph Hurdle last time. With more to come this fine prospect can reverse those placings here and pick up a 3rd career win.
