Punchestown Race 6 - Matchbook Betting Exchange Handicap Hurdle (0-100)
JAMES THE BRAVE (1) was eased out at Limerick two starts back then improved recording a neck win in a 3822m novice hurdle here most recently. Further progress expected. Holds leading claims. DIAMOND DOLLAR (3) represents the main danger after falling when travelling strongly at Down Royal. Could pose a major threat. In the mix. ELLIES ROCK (14) resumed over 3822m here with a solid second. John Shinnick stays aboard and back in good order might feature again. BRUNO FROM MARS (9) was unplaced at this venue then progressed tackling 3218m at Gowran Park running 10L third. Can build on that and test this field. Worth including.

Useful gelding. Last start favourite; won by a neck this track on February 4 over 3822m defeating Lough Nigara carrying 60.5kg at $2.50 in a novice hurdle. Race before pulled up at Limerick on December 29 over 4526m. Has been racing well. Tough to stop again.

Last outing finished sixth of 7 runners at Dundalk All Weather on February 6 over 3218m, 12 len behind Tatateo carrying 53.5kg at $101. The start before that; finished eighth of 11 runners at Down Royal on January 20 over 3419m, 34 len behind Missus Beeton carrying 70kg at $29. Will need to lift. Might find this a bit too tough.

Freshened for 49 days. Last start finished ninth of 18 runners at this track on December 31 over 3319m, 18 len behind Dameauscottlestown carrying 71.5kg at $29. The start before that; finished sixth of 11 starters at Cork on November 23 over 3218m, 34 len behind Halsafari carrying 66kg at $41. Will be tested. Looks tested without a big turnaround in form.

Third-up today. First-up finished sixth of 18 starters at Fairyhouse on December 13 over 3218m, on slow going 27 len behind Fierce Handay carrying 67.5kg at $6.50. Last start finished fourth of 16 runners at Fairyhouse on January 15 over 4023m, slow track; 17 len behind Kanog Bay carrying 72kg at $7. Fitter now and making headway every start. Hard to beat in this suitable event.

Last outing finished fifth of 17 starters at Thurles on February 5 over 4626m, on slow going 36 len behind Aine's Lad with 67kg at $8.50. Before that finished third of 10 starters at this track on January 26 over 3822m, on heavy track; 7 len behind Kobalt St Georges with 67kg at $7. Continues to make headway. Should be in this for a long way.

Back from a spell. Finished off last campaign didn't finish the race at this track December 11 over 4828m. When resuming last campaign 15 of 16 runners at Clonmel December 2 over 3922m, on rain affected going; 70 len behind Great Island with 63.5kg at $34. What happened last time is not ideal so happy enough to avoid.
