13:05 1m Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden (2yo)
I think we are going to see a sharper Anymore than we did at Leopardstown on October 17th. The daughter of Wootton Bassett was drawn the widest of the 9 runners; she broke slowly from the stalls and was on the back foot throughout, and I thought she made enough ground in the home straight to suggest that if she breaks on terms here, Anymore could well have a big say.
Selection: Anymore
13.35 1m Punchestown Premiere Weekend Sat 21 & Sun 22 November Handicap (3yo+)
San Aer was last seen finishing fifth over 7 furlongs at Galway, in a race won by Bang Po. San Aer didn’t enjoy the clearest of passages that day, and a chance is taken that the Ross O’Sullivan-trained gelding can enjoy a straightforward run here and benefit from the step up to 1 mile.
Selection: San Aer
14:05 7f Win A Trip To Lapland At Punchestown On Sun 22 November Maiden (2yo)
Imposing outran 22/1 odds to finish second, behind stable companion Accumulation, in a maiden over 7 furlongs at Leopardstown last time out. He led for most of the journey, only to be caught inside the final furlong. I thought Imposing showed a good attitude. I don’t think the step up to 1 mile is a negative, but the ground does pose a question mark, as he has only raced on good ground on both racecourse appearances.
Selection: Imposing
14:35 7f Premiere Weekend Race & Dine Packages From 75 Euros Nursery Handicap (2yo)
Wecouldavehaditall has shown enough in five starts to suggest that she is up to winning this. The selection finished mid-division in a twelve-runner maiden at Killarney, when last seen, where she did a little too much in the early stages.
Wecouldavehaditall wears the hood for the first time, which should help jockey Paddy Harnett keep her settled in the first part of the race, helping preserve energy levels for when it matters.
Selection: Wecouldavehaditall
15:05 7f Premiere Weekend Two-Day Ticket Just 35 Euros Maiden (3yo+)
Tide Of Fortune can bounce back here to the form shown when she finished a close second behind The Piper’s Call at The Curragh on June 3rd. She was a well-beaten favourite at The Curragh later that month, but the ground was quite quick on that occasion, and a chance is taken that the softer underfoot conditions will see Tide Of Fortune in a better light.
Selection: Tide Of Fortune
15:35 7f See You At The GR1 Double Header 21 & 22 November Handicap (Div I) (3yo+ 0-60)
Free Solo ran well to finish fourth in a competitive 7 furlong handicap at The Curragh fourteen days ago. He won’t mind the ground and another bold run is on the cards from stall six.
Selection: Free Solo
16:05 7f See You At The GR1 Double Header 21 & 22 November Handicap (Div II) (3yo+ 0-60)
Real Petite ran out a comfortable winner over the extended mile on soft ground at Gowran Park when last seen ten days ago. She looks a filly to keep on the right side of at the moment and can take the beating in the final race of the afternoon at Punchestown.
Selection: Real Petite
