Punchestown Race 7 - Join Racing Tv Now (Pro/Am) Flat Race
Fascinating clash of three powerful stables. SOUL ASYLUM (4) would be the selection having started with a promising narrow defeat tackling a point-to-point. Subsequently picked up for a large sum by his esteemed connections and sure to have talent to take this. HELDAM (2) won his point on debut last February. Ultimately was only sixth in a competitive jumpers flat race at Christmas. Definitely in the mix. BEGORRA MAN (1) made a bright start last season including beaten in a race won by a supreme novice hurdle winner. Unseen for a year. Could be thereabouts. LITTLE GINGER (3) will have plenty to do debuting.

Second-up. Promising on debut as favourite; won by 2 len at Punchestown P2p February 22 over 4023m in the wet defeating Lord Rouge with 60kg. Went for a spell before returning 6th of 12 at Leopardstown on December 26 over 3218m, 13 len behind The Mourne Rambler carrying 74.5kg at $2.90. Looks good enough to prevail against limited opposition.

Resuming after a break; only one run when 2nd of 12 at Dromahane P2p on November 9 over 4828m, slow going head behind Red Acres Max with 60kg. Rates well on debut run and looks a leading player here.
