Punchestown Race 4 - Madigan Group Irish Ebf Sheila Bourke Novice Hurdle (Listed)

WILLIAM MUNNY (5) looks smart having placed third in the G1 Punchestown Champion Jumpers Flat Race last year. Posted a good second in a twenty runner 3200m maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse recently. Top selection. C'EST TA CHANCE (1) also represents leading connections. Made a winning hurdling debut in style at Clonmel over 3800m prior to a Navan novice hurdle second a month ago. Holds form. Main danger. TAPONTHEGO (2) was 3.25L behind running third that day at Navan. Might go well. THE GREAT NUDIE (4) won by 7L a 3800m novice hurdle here. Next best.

Impressive in recent runs. Freshened for 33 days. Last outing finished third in a small field at Navan on January 18 over 3218m, slow track; 4 len behind James's Gate carrying 72.5kg at $4.30. Race before finished second of 12 starters at Leopardstown on December 29 over 4023m, 5 len behind Ol Man Dingle carrying 73kg at $2.40. Progressing well this campaign. Will take some stopping.

Last outing finished fourth of 19 starters at Leopardstown in the LR on February 2 over 3621m, on slow going 6 len behind Vischio carrying 69kg at $41. The start before that; won by 0.5 len Down Royal on January 21 over 3419m defeating Blue Mosque with 72.5kg at $3.50 in a novice hurdle. Looks to have the job ahead.

Second run from a spell finished second of 20 starters at Fairyhouse on January 25 over 3218m, on slow going 1.5 len behind Kawaboomga with 75.5kg at $2.60. Fitter now and making headway every start. Best form over the jumps stacks up well.
