Punchestown Race 7 - Ladbrokes Punchestown Gold Cup (Grade 1)

Six-time Grade 1 winner GAELIC WARRIOR (3) looks hard to beat having enjoyed an excellent season with a neck success in the 4000m G1 John Durkan Memorial Punchestown Chase preceding a pair of 4800m placings at the top level and an impressive 8L victory in the 5200m G1 Cheltenham Gold Cup Chase. Consider. FACT TO FILE (2) is a two-time G1 Cheltenham Festival winner who scored by 5L beating the top pick in the 4900m G1 Irish Gold Cup at Leopardstown. Main danger. The 2025 Cheltenham Gold Cup hero INOTHEWAYURTHINKIN (5) placed 10L third in the renewal this year. Could easily go close if showing best form. GRANGECLARE WEST (4) unseated the rider at the first fence tackling the Aintree Grand National (Premier Handicap) eighteen days ago. Next best.

Having second run back today. First-up after two months finished eighth of 34 starters at Aintree Grand National on April 11 over 6940m, 22 len behind I Am Maximus with 70.5kg at $26. Previously second-up didn't finish the race at Leopardstown in the G1 Savills Chase on December 28 over 4928m. Unlikely to be winning in this top grade.

Useful type. Resumes off a 47 day letup.

Before that didn't finish the race at Leopardstown in the G1 Irish Gold Cup on February 2 over 4928m. Progressing well this campaign. Expected to go well if showing best form.
