Punchestown Race 1 - Kildare Hunt Club Cross Country Chase For The Ladies Perpetual Cup

FOUNTAIN HOUSE (1) appeals as the leading chance, having won twice last season and placed 3rd at Fairyhouse over 4878m before a forgive run at Down Royal. TURNUPDEVOLUME (8) was a close 2nd at this track and trip last year and looks a key danger. KNOCKIEL SYNGE (3) finished 3rd in that same Punchestown race and has a previous win over this distance here. GRANGE SOLDIER (2) has struggled in recent starts but did win at Tipperary last year. The race sets up well for those with proven form at Punchestown over this trip, with Fountain House (1), Turnupdevolume (8), and Knockiel Synge (3) standing out on recent evidence. Something for the Multiples: TURNUPDEVOLUME (8) KNOCKIEL SYNGE (3) FOUNTAIN HOUSE (1) WILLITGOAHEAD (4)

Finished 2nd at Down Royal over 4828m three starts back, beaten 1L by Its On The Line at $8.50. Has failed to finish in three of his last four runs, including last start at Cheltenham over 5294m at $19. Drops 1kg in weight and comes back 384m in trip. Needs to recapture earlier form but not without hope.

Five-year-old gelding by Blue Bresil trained by J P Dempsey. Wears cheek pieces for this assignment. No recent race form is available. Worth monitoring for any market moves.
