Punchestown 4.20 - A 2 miles and 5 Furlong Novices Handicap Chase and some nice types in here and 2 that stood out for me at the prices. JETZ comes from the local and in form Harrington Yard that usually try to set one out for the race as evidenced by a number of winners in the past few years. The horse has not always looked a natural Jumper but the Trainer has reported that a recent session with chiropractor has found some niggling back issues which they are confident of now being sorted. If so the horse is on a nice handicap mark and looks in with an excellent e/w shout.

 

Hardline and Real Steel at the top of the Handicap have solid enough chances as does Poker Party going for a hat-trick but I can't resist PRAVALAGUNA back at this Course which suits her. She went to Cheltenham with high hopes but suffered a bit of a leg injury, will have gained confidence and a bit of fitness with a better run than some gave credit for last week and I think would not be running here unless the Yard were sure she was fit and ready to run a big race.
