4.15 Punchestown: SIR GERHARD @ 8/11 with BetUK – Is yet to taste defeat over hurdles (3-from-3) and will be all the rage to extend that sequence here. Is versatile in terms of trip so the drop back from 2m5f here to 2m is fine, while his proven stamina will be a big plus in the closing stages if he gets into a scrap with this stablemate – Dysart Dymano.

5.25 Punchestown: ENERGUMENE @ 4/6 with BetUK – Romped away with the Queen Mother Champion Chase at Cheltenham last time out and will be all the rage to follow-up here. Will face a tough challenge with last year’s winner and stablemate – Chacun Pour Soi – in the race again, but jockey Paul Townend is happy to stick with Energumene.

6.35 Punchestown: BOB OLINGER @ 6/4 with BetUK – Was booked for second last time in the Turners Novices’ Chase at Cheltenham last time until Galopin Des Champs took a tumble at the last. So, a luck winner that day but doesn’t face that rival this time and having beaten the likely second favourite – Capodanno – at Punchestown in January then can be expected to hold the aces over that rival again.
