Punchestown Race 3 - William Hill Challenge Series Hurdle

BUDDY ONE (1) was a good 6L third at Galway. That followed a creditable effort in the G3 Galway Plate. Finds a more realistic assignment and comes here fully fit so could prove hard to beat. SENECIA (5) pulled up tackling a fences G2 last time. Reverts to hurdles here and should relish this extra distance. Key player if at best. SANDOR CLEGANE (4) makes seasonal reappearance. High class performer better known for his exploits as a chaser but certainly capable in this sphere and is expected to be fit for return. Shortlist. SAMUI (3) steps up significantly in distance which should suit following a staying on third in a Listed race at Gowran Park. Threat to all with conditions suiting.

Freshened for 58 days. Last start pulled up at Tramore on August 16 over 4425m. The start before that; raced on the pace prior to fading finished sixth of 8 starters at Kilbeggan on August 8 over 4023m, 8 len behind Rexem carrying 72kg at $11. Has the ability to be in the finish. Worth another chance and is in the mix.

The run before finished fifth of 8 starters at Galway on September 7 over 4325m, 13 len behind Paul's Dream carrying 66.5kg at $7.50. Cannot be underestimated.
