Racing Tips – 27th April – Punchestown Racing Tips
Hit the right notes when second on only run last summer at Galway, beating 2021 Pertemps winner Mrs Milner in the process; should be Willie Mullins’ strongest contender in this 25-runner field on evidence of that run.
Ryanair Chase winner could add another Grade 1 to Rachael Blackmore’s trophy cabinet today if coping with switch to 2m; looks the strongest threat if Chacun Poi Soi once again fails to fire at the finish.
All eyes on Day 1 will also be on an epic battle in prospect between the mighty Monkfish and the dethroned Envoi Allen in this Champion Novice Chase; preference goes for the Brown Advisory Chase winner given his flawless form to date in 2021, blitzing the field on all four starts.
Odds correct at time of writing but may be subject to change.
