Galopin des Champs odds on for the Punchestown Cup

Galopin des Champs odds on for the Punchestown Cup

(Irish jumps racing, Wednesday)

GALOPIN DES CHAMPS will start a long odds-on favourite for Wednesday’s Punchestown Cup in Ireland. He has been beaten just three times in twelve chases. He was the odds on favourite in those three races that he was beaten in and FASTOR SLOW won two of those races including this racer last year when Galopin des Champs was the 4/11 favourite. FAASTOR SLOW unseated the rider in the CHeltenham Gold Cup last time out but can bounce back from that. So he is an each way bet if you are going to oppose the favourite.

BALLYBURN favourite at Punchestown

BALLYBURN has raced over hurdles four times for a second (on hurdle debut) and three wins. In all of his races he has been the odds-on favourite each time he has raced over hurdles and at 5/4 he looks quite good value even allowing for the strength of the field he is up against. SLADE STEEL is the main danger. I tipped this horse out when he won at Cheltenham last time out. That was a very hot field with a heap of last race winners in the race so he is a real chance of taking this out. FIREFOX is the only horse ever to have beaten Ballyburn and he is in this race but has never quite lived up to his earlier promise.

HONEYSUCKLE SET FOR ANOTHER WIN AT PUNCHESTOWN

Bob Olinger & Honeysuckle odds-on favourites for Punchestown’s main races.

BOB OLINGER and HONEYSUCKLE will both be odds-on favouruites for their respective races at Punchestown in Ireland. Bob Olinger is around the 1/2 mark for his race. That is the equivalent of $1.50 for a win on the tote. THat is unbackable unless one has a decent amount to put on. The same with HONEYSUCKLE in the Champion HUrdle. She is unbeaten in over ten starts. If you are looking for an each-way bet then EPATANTE is your best bet but only bad luck will get Honeysuckle beaten.

FLOORING PORTER SELECTED AT PUNCHESTOWN

Flooring Porter favourite for Champion Stayers Hurdle at Punchestown

FLOORING PORTER looks the one to beat at Punchestown on Thursday. He is favourite for the Champion Stayers Hurdle on the back of his last race win at Cheltenham. He has also won six of his fifteen starts which is an excellent strike-rate. THE STORYTELLER will be the hardest for Flooring Porter to beat. He finished sixth to Flooring Porter at Cheltenham last start, (9 lengths behind). FURY ROAD and RONALD PUMP are other chances.
