Punchestown Race 5 - Alanna Homes Champion Novice Hurdle (Grade 1)

KING RASKO GREY (5) couldn't have been anymore impressive than when winning the G1 Baring Bingham Novices Hurdle at Cheltenham. Form of that race is strong and looks a class above this field. Impossible to oppose. KIELY'S PLACE (4) impressed making stable debut at Clonmel before disappointing in a G2 at Fairyhouse. Now wears a first time hood and warrants respect. JALON D'OUDAIRIES (2) has plenty of experience. Eventually got off the mark at Naas in February. Well held in the G1 Spa Novices Hurdle and more is needed. It wouldn't be a big surprise to see ECHOING SILENCE (8) bounce back to form after a poor performance at Cheltenham.

Having second run back today. Last outing raced on the pace prior to fading finished seventh of 11 runners at Fairyhouse in the G2 on April 5 over 4023m, 23 len behind He's On Fire with 71kg at $29. At only start last preparation won by 1.5 len Limerick on December 28 over 4325m defeating King's Bucks with 71.5kg at $4 in a hurdle. Definite chance. Needs to take a big step forward to be competitive here.

Last outing finished fourth of 12 starters at Aintree in the G1 Mersey Novices Hurdle on April 11 over 4023m, 6 len behind Bossman Jack carrying 68.5kg at $29. Start before finished fifth of 20 runners at Cheltenham in the G1 Triumph Hurdle on March 13 over 3419m, on slow going 3.5 len behind Apolon De Charnie carrying 71kg at $81. Has a future but unlikely to be good enough.
