At Punchestown on Wednesday both my picks won. King Of Kingsfield was 3rd at halfway making headway to dispute the lead 2 out, the 5/4 favourite moved to the front in the final 150 yards keeping on well to beat Birdie Or Bust by 2 1/2 lengths. In the other Grade 3 Heart Wood sat 2nd four out improving to lead at the last, the 4/9 favourite beat Monbeg Park by 1 3/4 lengths.
A Thursday double header sees 8 races at The Curragh and 7 at Thurles with 2 standing out.
The Curragh 2.25: DNG Handicap.
3: Unique Journey: A decent horse who has 2 wins from 6 runs this year his last being over course and distance 12 days ago. He was 4th at halfway challenging in the final 150 yards, he led close to home beating the reopposing Gerrit's Gem by a neck. He should be up there again here and can follow up.
Thurles 4.27: www. thurlesraces.ie Hurdle.
1: Hewick: A high-class chaser who has been a course winner in his career. He was last seen finishing 7th in a Grade 1 at Auteuil back in May and despite being off since he should make a winning return here before moving onto bigger things this season.
