Punchestown Race 8 - Weatherbys General Stud Book Irish EBF Mares Flat Race (Grade 3)
Willie Mullins has won this event four times in the last decade and he may add another with GLENS ANTHEM (6) who made a winning rules debut scoring by 7.5L over 3200m at Navan five weeks ago. Promising chance. Stablemate EVEN THO (5) is another who scored first up (under rules) running 4.5L clear tackling 3800m at Limerick a month ago. Makes plenty of appeal. The more experienced COOLE CAFE (15) bids for a hat-trick following a 0.75L victory in a Listed 3200m jumpers flat race at Limerick last month. Every chance. LATOSCA DU HOUX (9) is another for Mullins. Recorded a debut 12L success over 3200m during February at Ayr (UK). Not out of this.

Third race start. First start didn't finish the race at Dromahane P2p December 6 over 4828m. Went for a spell before returning favourite; scored a big 4.5 len win at Limerick March 31 over 3822m in soft going defeating Araminta with 75kg at $1.70. Great chance to make it two in a row. In form and certainly worth following up.

Chasing a hat-trick. Comes here off a 38-day let-up. Most recently won by 0.8 len at Limerick LR March 22 over 3218m defeating Brady Hartsfield carrying 70kg at $4.50. Before that scored a big 3.5 len win at Naas February 7 over 3118m defeating Apache Peak with 68kg at $6. Hard to fault and can go on with it.
