Dear Friends of Punchestown,

I’m delighted to welcome you to Punchestown today for our final fixture in advance of the 2023 Punchestown Festival which takes place from Tuesday 25th to Saturday 29th April. We have a fantastic day of racing action instore with the Listed Racing TV Quevega Mares Hurdle taking centre stage. The eagerly anticipated highlight has again attracted a quality line up and we look forward to another exciting and informative renewal with the big spring festivals on the horizon.

I would particularly like to welcome our sponsors today, Racing TV who are kindly sponsoring the three of our eight races here this afternoon. Their continued support is greatly appreciated and it’s loyal sponsors such as these that enable us to stage such great racing at Punchestown.

With less than 9 weeks to go we are in full swing for the 2023 Festival and I would also like to remind you that there are only a limited amount of tickets left in our 10% ticket offer. Make sure to visit our website - www.punchestown.com or go to any of the Punchestown team in the Main Entrance Building or Enquiries Office to avail. Don’t discount the idea of dining with one of our hospitality packages over the five days either - there’s great value to be had and our venues are almost sold out so get in touch to secure your seat.

I hope you enjoy your day at Punchestown and hopefully back a winner or two in the process. In the meantime, I look forward to welcoming each and every one of you back here on Tuesday 25th April for Day 1 of the 2023 Punchestown Festival. The countdown is on!

Kindest Regards,

Conor O’Neill, Punchestown CEO.

The Predictor is a ‘Computer Generated’ predicted outcome of the race in visual form, generated by an algorithm of key factors (including eg current form, ratings and going.)

RACE VERDICT

Gordon Elliott’s I AM FORTUNATA comes late on to the novice scene and gets the vote on the strength of his two bumper outings. The race-fit Fameaftertheglory is an obvious danger despite having squandered attractive opportunities in the past. Marronstown won two of his three points and finished third

The Predictor is a ‘Computer Generated’ predicted outcome of the race in visual form, generated by an algorithm of key factors (including eg current form, ratings and going.)

RACE VERDICT

An interesting maiden for this relatively late stage of the season. Richard O’Brien’s SUTTONS HILL is potentially a cut above these rivals by virtue of bumper form involving two members of the powerful Mullins squad. Bob Cigar holds Cheltenham entries, implying a high standard of homework. Faulty and Easy Fella have showing winning potential. [Alan Sweetman]

RACE VERDICT

Plenty of these hold claims with the tentatitive vote going to FRIENDS N COMMERCE. He posted a career best when runner-up last time out and that form has already been boosted. Appian Way and Captain Jimmy both hold solid claims in their respective hat-trick bids and Lord Gillygooley won’t be far away provided he doesn’t bounce. However, the main danger to the selection might be American Money stepping up in trip after his win here last month. [Phill Anderson] Source: Racing Post

RACE VERDICT

This can go the way of HARD TARGET who had been running well in defeat prior to getting his head in front last time and with that form working out, the handicapper may have let him off with just an 8lb rise for that wide margin success. Fons Vivus was below par last time but may be able to bounce back while Maggie Walsh should appreciate a return to this sort of trip. Bella Union is one to be interested in if he gets a run.
