Punchestown Festival 2025

[GM23]

Last years winner for me here. 5/1

I think Marine Nationale was brilliant at Cheltenham and will give Fact To File a hell of a race today over 2m.

Timmy Tuesday 11/1 for me here.

[LD73]

GM23 – Start to finish that race literally fell apart and he took full advantage of it, so i can’t take the result seriously especially considering his form prior to Cheltenham resulted in two defeats by Soleness and one by Quilixios.

The faster Solness goes the more it will suit FTF, he cruised along following Il Est Francais and I think he is a better jumper than MN as well – it really wouldn’t surprise me if they look at possibly aiming FTF at the QMCC next season instead of the Ryanair.

Thanks VtC and Nathan, I like Harry Derham and would keep a close eye on his runners.
Also, watch out for Gaucher on the Flat, he was aiming for the carpark over the hurdles

I notice GB have won the first 3. Coming over here , stealing all of our festival races… BAN THEM!

Seriously it’s great to see raiders coming over and shaking the place up, fun times!

[GM23]

Well done grass.

The Brits are cleaning house lol.

THe ‘have a go because there is nothing to be scared of’ message seems to be getting through to GB stables. Looking forward to Gabriel’s Getaway for Anthony Honeyball in the 3.05 2m Listed HandicaP Chase on Thursday who I reckon has targeted this.

[Nathan Hughes]

The Brits won’t be winning the next one..

LD73,

He was caught on his heels every bit as much as Jonbon at the start and missed the 2nd fence also. Jonbon was flat to the boards when he made the mistake and I don’t think he’d have won anyway.
I think Marine Nationale had the upper hand on Quilixios when he fell also.

Fact To File is a class act but I do think Marine Nationale will put it up to him over this shorter trip.

[GM23]

Patrick back on Salvator Mundi is an appalling decision. Townend must have improved the horse about 12lb at Aintree.

[GM23]

Small stake on Irancy w/o the fav just in case Patrick rides a shocker. 4/1

[greenasgrass]

Brilliant VtC and what a price, well done GM3 too

[GM23]

Patrick as expected rode a shocker going way too fast.

What I didn’t expect was Paul to foolishly chase after him.

[Nathan Hughes]

Well done GM

Salvator Mundi going at 36 mph before half way was never going to last and KDB was jumping left and clumsy
