WELCOME TO

On behalf of all the team here at Punchestown I would like to extend a very warm welcome back to the home of Irish jump racing. Today we have a different type of meeting as we stage our only flat fixture for the 2022 season at Punchestown.

take great pleasure in welcoming our sponsors here today. Thanks to the Irish European Breeders Fund and Anglesey Lodge Equine Hospital for supporting Punchestown and indeed Irish Racing as a whole.

Although almost four months have passed since we last raced it feels as though the summer has flown by. Those months give us the opportunity to reflect on the season past, consider feedback and implement changes as we continue to improve the Punchestown customer experience.

Conor O’Neill, CEO Punchestown Racecourse.

As you arrived here today you will have seen that we have been very busy with a flagship project as the track widening and extension is well under way. This investment was very carefully considered as, like any additions here, it needs to work hard and serve purpose! This project provides further flexibility for Punchestown to significantly improve the existing layout of the racetrack and it will also greatly assist in accommodating our current racing programme while providing the potential for it to be further enhanced going Furthermore,forward.we

Dear Racegoer,

We have a great afternoon of racing action ahead of us today and we then look forward to welcoming you all back here to open up the jumps season on Tuesday 11 and Wednesday 12 October where we will stage the Grade 3 Irish Daily Star Chase.

Irish Racing’s Largest Sponsor.

Irish Stallion Farms will contribute €2.6 million towards Irish prize-money in 2022, bringing our total investment to €54m since the foundation of the Irish EBF in 1983. fund further details, contact Nessa Joyce: t: 00 353 45 910 999 m: 00 353 85 7590970

RACING POST VERDICT Very interesting newcomer; daughter of a Japanese Group 1 winner; worth a market check Probable SP: 10/1

Basil Martini sets a decent standard but her Naas run raises some question marks, so preference is for Ballydoyle newcomer LAMBADA. By Dubawi, she’s a half-sister to Group 2 winner Just Wonderful among others, and looks a big player on debut. The selection’s stablemate Promises To Keep is respected, as is the Jessica Harrington duo of Lan Cinnte and Yuzu. [Brian Dowling]

On the back of a promising Curragh debut, GULF OF MEXICO should be able to make the necessary progress to score today, though the likelihood of soft ground poses a question The supposed Aidan O’Brien second-string can frequently trump a betterfancied stablemate, so Duke Cador has to be feared, as he has the pedigree to handle soft ground. Young Ireland has the form to run well if at his best, while Intellotto is of interest. [Tyrone Molloy]

The Shunter takes a big drop in trip here but if arrives in the form he’s capable of showing then he shouldn’t be ignored. Monaasib is respected and seems well treated on some of his best form, while Once Upon A River is in the right hands to progress. But it’s hard to get away from GOODIE TWO SHOES (nap).

With cheekpieces tried, DARK VEGA might be able to reverse last-time Sligo handicap form with Corky on 4lb better terms, though the latter won’t go down easily. Georgeta is capable if bouncing back, while Maristella has to be respected even off 12lb higher than her Galway romp. Plume Noire should handle this ground and isn’t ignored on seasonal debut.

Having shown enough in maidens to be of interest on handicap debut, INSULATE could be the one in a tricky event. Dagoda is interesting for a yard that has come out of a quiet spell, while Everylittlestep and French Rescue are players if ready enough after their breaks. [Tyrone Molloy] Source: Racing Post

A chance is taken on LEABALAND, who is just 3lb above his Gowran winning mark from earlier in the campaign and can improve from his run there last time. If Men Of Dreams can get away on terms, he has a strong shout, while Lucky Queen, Mymacushla and Wayne R Walker are interesting. Soilse needs a market check. [Tyrone Molloy]
