Punchestown Race 3 - Hanlon Concrete Irish EBF Glencarraig Lady Francis Flood Mares Chase (Grade 2)
DINOBLUE (2) has been a superstar for connections and it remains to be seen if this is her last race or not. She was mighty impressive at Cheltenham once again in March and looks hard to oppose here. ONLY BY NIGHT (4) was returning from a break when following home the main selection at the Festival in March. Rates a main danger. KALA CONTI (3) looked to be running a big race when falling three fences from home in the G1 Maghull Novices Chase at Aintree last month. This trip looks more suitable and she is one to consider. SPINDLEBERRY (1) needs to get back on track and might be vulnerable to others in the field.

Comes off a 49 day let-up. Last run finished fourth of 8 starters at Cheltenham in the G2 Liberthine Mares' Chase on March 13 over 4123m, 14 len behind Dinoblue with 73kg at $7.50. Start before pulled up at Leopardstown in the G1 Irish Gold Cup on February 2 over 4928m. Rates well. No surprise to see her back in form today.

Last outing finished second in a small field at Cork in the G3 on April 5 over 4928m, 6 len behind Nowwhatdoyouthink carrying 66.5kg at $7.50. Race before finished 13th of 16 starters at Leopardstown in the LR on March 2 over 4325m, 24 len behind O'toole with 64.5kg at $11. Might find this a bit too tough.
