MICHAEL - Punchestown 3.45 Handicap Hurdle - 2 miles 5 furlongs - 20 run - Heavy (rain due)

 

We are more than likely looking for places and enhanced places here as Elliotts HUNTING BROOK looks very solid but at around 7/4 only for serious win backers.

 

Plenty of value though elsewhere are nice odds to enhanced prices.

 

I looked at the likes of I Am Spider Man, Birdsandthebees, American Money, and at big prices Sarahs Soldier but most of them may need the run and I Am Spider Man just missed a punt.

 

I'm MOST keen on a pair being HUTCHIE a Galway winner over further in the mud off a mark of 87 who should enjoy conditions and handle a mark of 94, LIGHT PARADE who drops in trip and who ran very well to this sort of distance last time and who is race fir, nice mark and ideal ground and who looks very solid each way, and for some shrapnel - GLORIOUS SINGER who has shown signs this may be an ideal trip now, fine with the Going and off a nice mark and one who just looks ready to finally deliver a performance.

 

Tips (1) Hutchie / (2) Light Parade / (3s) Glorious Singer
