Dear Friends of Punchestown,

On behalf of the Kildare Hunt Club and all the team at Punchestown, I am delighted to welcome you to 1XBet.ie Grand National Trial Day.

The 1XBet.ie Grand National Trial is the feature of today’s card and has drawn a competitive ﬁeld for what is always a key staying contest at this stage of the season. We are particularly pleased to welcome 1XBet.ie as they begin their ﬁrst partnership with Punchestown as title sponsor An internationally recognised sports betting and gaming brand, 1XBet is known for its innovation, global reach and support of major sporting events. Their decision to align with Punchestown for this prestigious race marks the beginning of what we hope will be a strong and enduring relationship

RACE SUMMARY

PURE STEEL weakened after a mistake in Grade 3 company here last month but can bounce back now. The Yeats gelding had been an impressive winner over C&D previously and may beneﬁt from coming back in distance again. Similarly Relieved Of Duties drops in class after ﬁnding graded company a bit hot last time. He had run well in a novice event at Cheltenham prior to that and could be a big player in this company. I Am Lorenzo won at Fairyhouse a month ago but faces a tougher task on this occasion.

RACE SUMMARY

KISS WILL has been the beaten favourite on his two outings over fences to date and can make it third time lucky now. The Tunis gelding was turned over at a short price on his chase debut behind a smart sort in Flicker Of Hope and then found Koktail Divin too strong at Leopardstown over Christmas. He’s still unexposed and this looks like a nice opportunity. He should confirm Leopardstown form with Shuffle The Deck, who was four lengths behind him in third. Pray Tell ran well at a big price when second here on New Year’s Eve and a similar effort could see him get involved

RACE SUMMARY

THE LOVELY MAN revels in testing conditions and comes here in fine form. Gavin Cromwell’s charge was a good winner over fences at Navan in mid-December before landing a handicap hurdle at Gowran last month. He races off a 10lb higher chase mark now, but looks progressive. Gordon Elliott has won the last four runnings of this and Jack Kennedy sides with Lucky Lyreen, who stayed well when winning at Down Royal last month. He got the better of Born Braver by a neck in a driving finish, but is 2lb worse off This marathon trip could bring further improvement, though. WIN: THE LOVELY MAN EACH-WAY: LUCKY LYREEN

RACE SUMMARY

There is not much to choose between LAZARE DE STAR and Zeus Power based on their meeting at Navan last month. The Gordon Elliott-trained gelding, who previously won a maiden at the Leopardstown Christmas meeting, looked the winner most of the way up the straight that day only to be headed in the closing stages. The combination of this easier track and a 5lb swing in the weights may give him the edge Heads Up had smart form in bumpers last season and has taken well to hurdles, but needs to bounce back after a disappointing eﬀort at Cheltenham. WIN: LAZARE DE STAR EACH-WAY:

RACE SUMMARY

DANI DONADONI won a Limerick bumper in impressive fashion last spring and beat all bar Lord Rouge when switched to hurdles in a 19-runner Cork maiden in December He needs to bounce back after being soundly beaten later that month at Leopardstown, but is taken to do so Ksar Fatal and Panjandrum must also put disappointing eﬀorts behind them. The former, who easily won a point-to-point and impressed in a Gowran bumper, has now joined Barry Connell from Willie Mullins. Panjandrum won a point and a bumper too, but reportedly bled when pulled up on his hurdling debut at Limerick.

RACE SUMMARY

NETTUNO ITALIA opened his account over a similar trip here last month and may follow up with Danny Gilligan keeping the partnership intact. The form of that contest has been well advertised by the runner up since and his ability to handle testing ground will stand the gelding in good stead. Kir won over 3m at Limerick in October and is weighted to conﬁrm superiority over Fairyhouse winner From The Ashes on their meeting at Limerick shortly after Christmas. Gorvitho and Drop A Threat both step up in trip on their handicap debuts, while West Of Bally and Sean Mc are others to consider. WIN: NETTUNO ITALIA EACH-WAY: KIR

RACE SUMMARY

BEGORRA MAN showed plenty of promise both over hurdles and in a bumper last term. The Gavin Cromwell-trained gelding hasn’t been seen since finishing runner-up to the impressive Gameofinches in this race last year with a number of subsequent winners behind Soul Asylum was narrowly denied in a point-to-point at Dromahane in November before being snapped up by current connections for 280,000 pounds. Point-to-point winner Heldam faded in the straight when favourite on his debut under Rules at the Leopardstown Christmas meeting but it is too soon to write him off WIN: BEGORRA MAN

RACE SUMMARY

JUMP ALLEN won twice over hurdles last spring on varying ground conditions, including over 2m4f at Sandown. The seven-year-old is preferred to The Nagger Reidy, who has also won twice over hurdles, including when well backed on his penultimate start at the Leopardstown Christmas Festival Dual bumper winner That Danny Feeling could bounce back after disappointing over hurdles here recently, with Raydamann another to consider
