Punchestown Race 6 - Goffs Defender Bumper
HUNTIN BOOTS (7) appeals as the leading chance after finishing 2nd at Gowran Park over 3218m, beaten 6L on debut. MASTERTOWN MISS (17) is a key danger, coming off a 2nd at Clonmel over 3200m, just 2.75L from the winner. DOOKS (5) was 4th in the same Clonmel race, while GILI ISLAND (6) finished 4th at Punchestown over a similar trip. These runners bring the most relevant recent form into this contest.
