Punchestown Race 4 - Channor Real Estate Group Novice Hurdle (Grade 1)
THE PASSING WIFE (13) enhanced a consistent profile last two outings securing a 9L victory in a 3800m course maiden hurdle before a solid 1.75L third at the Cheltenham Festival in the G1 Spa Novices Hurdle tackling this trip. Leading contender. DOCTOR STEINBERG (1) represents a top stable. Completed a hat-trick gaining an impressive 8L success in the 4400m G1 Golden Cygnet Novice Hurdle at Leopardstown two starts ago. Main danger. FRUIT DE MER (5) produced an excellent 1.5L second attempting the aforementioned 4800m G1 Spa Novices Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival. Big claims. ZANOOSH (14) bids for a six-timer after a 1.75L triumph contesting the G1 Honeysuckle Mares Novice Hurdle trying 4000m at Fairyhouse. Every chance.

Impressive in recent runs. Resumes off a 47 day letup. Last outing finished third of 22 starters at Cheltenham in the G1 Spa Novices Hurdle on March 13 over 4828m, slow track; 1.75 len behind Johnny's Jury with 73kg at $12. The start before that; won by 9 len this track on January 26 over 3822m on heavy track defeating Doctor Du Mesnil carrying 75.5kg at $3 in a hurdle. Definite winning chance. Strong claims.
