Punchestown Race 1 - Jim Ryan Memorial Novice Chase

SPANISH HARLEM (5) was 6.75L fourth at Sandown over 5700m in a Grade 3. This could be his easiest run in more than a year. Leading chance. NO TIME TO WAIT (4) adopts first time cheek pieces. Last seen running 49L ninth tackling 5000m at the Cheltenham Festival. Consider. BALTIC BIRD (1) steps up in trip having won by 3.5L at Down Royal a month ago attempting 3900m on chasing debut. Will need to find more here. MINELLA SERGEANT (2) finished fourth both starts for his new yard which were his first two fences outings since attempting point to points. Might feature.

Freshened for 43 days. Last run finished fourth of 19 starters at Sandown Park on April 26 over 5733m, 6 len behind Resplendent Grey carrying 64.5kg at $23. The start before that; didn't finish the race at Ayr on April 12 over 6397m. Cannot be ruled out - certainly worth another chance.
