Saturday's best came at Navan where Red Letter was 2nd. The 1/1 favourite travelled well from two out taking 2nd soon after, she challenged inside the final furlong but kept on at the same pace close to home allowing Barnavara to win by 1/2 a length. Over at Punchestown Riggs was 6th in a race won by Prince Zaltar who beat Western Model by a length.
There are 8 races at Punchestown on Sunday with 2 standing out.
1.30: Jim Ryan Memorial Novice Chase.
5: Spanish Harlem: A high-class horse who finished a good 4th in the Bet365 Gold Cup at Sandown when last seen 43 days ago. He was always prominent challenging for a second time 3 out but had no extra on the run-in. A similar performance over this shorter trip should be enough and he is the one to beat here.
2.00: K-Mech Mechanical Handicap Chase.
3: Lisnagar Fortune: A decent horse did well to finish 3rd in a listed race over course and distance 37 days ago. Despite his poor jumping he kept on close to home taking 3rd on the run-in. He should build on that here so has to be taken seriously and he can pick up a 3rd career win.
