16:15 Punchestown (Class 1) 24f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

The lightly-raced MAJESTIC FORCE seems fairly treated on handicap chase debut. A staying chaser-type, she was beaten just a half-length by Grade 1 winner Spindleberry last December before scoring quite readily at Wexford in March and further improvement appears likely. Stablemate Amirite notably finished ahead of Wednesday's winner James Du Berlais in the Topham at Aintree and being well suited by good ground, should also be competitive. Canal End is 9lb higher than when winning at Navan but would prefer easier ground, while Battle It Out is 7lb higher than at Fairyhouse, despite a bad mistake at the final fence.

Amirite was 4th in the Topham and the 5th has boosted the form here this week, but stablemate MAJESTIC FORCE is of serious interest

16:50 Punchestown (Class 1) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

There didn't look to be any fluke about the way that PONIROS won the Triumph Hurdle at Cheltenham and the Golden Horn gelding appears to have a serious engine. He stayed on powerfully up the hill to prevail by a neck from Lulamba, making a stunning start over hurdles. He can only improve from that experience and is taken to confirm the form. Lulamba was making his fourth start over jumps at Cheltenham and did little wrong. He met some traffic after the second-last, but it didn't look to have any bearing on the result. Murcia was impressive when winning the Grade 1 at Aintree and that was an improved effort. She also has to enter calculations.

LULAMBA was arguably a shade unlucky when finishing a neck second behind Poniros in the Triumph and he could turn the form around

17:25 Punchestown (Class 1) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

HEY SUNSHINE is interesting here back in a handicap. Testing conditions wouldn't have suited when she was pitched into Grade 1 company at Fairyhouse last time and she remains unexposed. The Shantou mare had rattled off a hat-trick on better ground previously and could still have a bit up her sleeve off a mark of 130. Aintree winner Wellington Arch looks a leading contender. He held off Kopeck De Mee in a good finish in Liverpool and, despite a 7lb rise, should still be competitive. Impose Toi, who was fourth in that Aintree race, is another to consider on the revised terms.

Dual Cheltenham Festival winner JAZZY MATTY (nap) was an impressive winner of Grand Annual & can race from a 17lb lower hurdles mark

Connections have had to be patient with QUANTUM BOY, who appears for Willie Mullins now having been a very impressive point-to-point winner back in November 2023. The Diamond Boy gelding was snapped up by JP McManus after his 40-length win at Damma House and is a fascinating runner on his racecourse bow. English point-to-point winner Panjandrum makes his first start for Gordon Elliott and Gigginstown. He cost 95,000 pounds after scoring at Chaddesley Corbett in December. Lucinda Russell introduces an interesting newcomer in Biglesisback. The Walk In The Park mare carries the colours of Kenny Alexander and is a half-sister to his Cheltenham winner Doddiethegreat.

JUNGLE COVE has run in a few similar events and sets the standard with his Flat mark of 84. He was last seen in winning form at Laytown last September and was second in this a couple of years ago. Dark Note is a solid performer and looks nicely weighted. Henry de Bromhead won this last year with Somptueux and Chutzpal looks like another for the shortlist, despite having to give all of his rivals weight.

Chutzpal should go very well but DARK NOTE could be the answer for the in-form Slattery stable

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
