Punchestown

We start the day with CUMBERLAND RIVER in the 3yo hurdle. He improved the last day to finish a distant 4th on his second start over hurdle. He still has a lot of maturing to do but is also open to improvement with Jack Kennedy booked to ride.

Wendrock is now a non-runner

We double up in the 2m4f maiden hurdle where we have BUTTON ROCK and BOLTLANDER. Button Rock is having his first start for us and has run well in point to points. It looks a very open race and will have Jack Kennedy in the saddle. BOLTLANDER ran a credible 7th on debut and can improve from that here with Sam Ewing booked to ride.

MARS HARPER goes to post for the 2m7f handicap hurdle. This horse has been a staple over fences but switch back to hurdles. He has an attractive mark and we claim with Finn Brickley taking away 7lbs.

Finally COURAGEOUS CLEO is having her debut her. She is a raw horse who can hopefully put her best foot forward. She will be ridden by Harry Swan.
