Punchestown Race 1 - Ladbrokes 'Best Odds Guaranteed On Racing' Novice Hurdle

ARCH EMPIRE (1) looked markedly improved registering a 1.3L success over 4023m at Killarney last time. Selected to maintain winning form. BELLE THE TIGRESS (6) resumed with a comfortable 5L win in a 3319m Clonmel maiden hurdle. Main danger. BLACK HEATHER (2) was defeated 5L third tackling 3419m at Wexford most recently. Capable of better. TIMELESS TREATY (5) boasts one win from one start. Impossible to discount.

Last start won by 1.75 len Listowel on May 31 over 4123m defeating Pistocchi carrying 75.5kg at $3.50 in a hurdle. Start before finished second of 11 starters at Kilbeggan on May 16 over 3218m, 2.25 len behind Warriors Wood carrying 74kg at $1.60. Might find this a bit tough.
