Race Tip

An excellent feature race. CHAMP KIELY (1) ended last season with a career best scoring by 6. 5L taking the 3m1f G1 Champion Novice Chase at the Punchestown Festival. This top-class performer could enjoy tackling the shorter trip and looks hard to beat. The G1 novice hurdle winning INTHEPOCKET (5) posted a good third behind the re-opposing ILE ATLANTIQUE (2) over course and distance attempting a G2 novice chase. Open to plenty of progress on return while the latter represents a leading yard that goes well here and holds claims. ONLY BY NIGHT (3) maintained a consistent record last campaign producing runner-up efforts among G1 company at the Cheltenham and Punchestown Festivals over this distance. Not dismissed.
