WELCOME

WELCOME TO

Dear Friends Of Punchestown,

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to Punchestown for this evening’s racing. Just two weeks ago we were here for Ladbrokes Gold Cup Day which is hard to believe!

Following on from a memorable Punchestown Festival, it is wonderful to see racegoers, owners, trainers, jockeys and supporters return to enjoy what promises to be a competitive and enjoyable evening of racing. Festival 2026 once again showcased the very best of our sport, with fantastic racing, tremendous crowds and an atmosphere that made us immensely proud of Punchestown and Irish racing as a whole

This evening, we are delighted to welcome and thank Ladbrokes for their continued support of Punchestown and Irish racing. Their sponsorship and commitment to the industry is greatly appreciated and plays an important role in supporting the quality of racing on offer

We hope you enjoy both the racing and hospitality on offer this evening and encourage you to make the most of all the facilities around the racecourse during your visit.

As we look ahead, we are also preparing to close out the 2025/2026 season at our ever-popular “Summer In Town” fixture on Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th June. The weekend promises to provide a fitting finale to the season with quality racing, entertainment and a relaxed social atmosphere for racegoers of all ages.

Kindest Regards,

Conor O’Neill CEO, Punchestown

Half-sister to Yeats Star, won twice over hurdles at 2m 1f and 2m 2f and in a chase at 2m 6f. She represents top connections and is expected to be competitive.

Starting Prices - 4/9 Noemie De La Vis (FR), 4/1 Porcupine Bank, 10/1 Out Of Aces, Whitepark Lady, 16/1 Spellitoutforme, 25/1 Matcho D’agrostis (FR), Princedici (FR), 200/1 Cometothinkofit 2025 - 1st Ballyearl (FR) 2nd Portetta 3rd Watching The Clock (4 min. 0.6 sec.)

RACE SUMMARY

NOEMIE DE LA VIS can register a first career success. Runner-up on her sole French start, the Willie Mullins-trained filly was sent off a warm favourite when filling a similar position on her stable debut at Fairyhouse in January. Readily forgiven a below-par run when raised in class in the Triumph Hurdle last time, the daughter of Morandi can make the breakthrough here. Tramore third Porcupine Bank should be all the better for that initial experience. A son of Order Of St George, the Gordon Elliott-trained gelding is likely to be seen to better effect here. Academy hurdle fourth Out Of Aces disappointed last time but cannot be ruled out for his in-form stable.

RACE SUMMARY

Listed bumper winner SWITCH FROM DIESEL can get off the mark over hurdles. Runner-up on her first two starts over flights, the Ross O’Sullivan-trained mare was highly tried in Grade 1 company on her most recent outings. Back in calmer waters now, the seven-year-old should take the beating. Full Of Shade has a mammoth absence to overcome but Willie Mullins does exceptionally well with similar types. It is surely significant that the mare has been kept in training at this stage of her career Any market support should be noted. Cork bumper winner Salsinha is a lightly-raced five-year-old with the scope for further improvement on just her fourth start over hurdles.

ABBREVIATIONS EXPLAINED

You will occasionally see letters after a horses form figures in the racecard today - for example 45-2301 CD BF. But what do these actually mean and why are they shown?

C Stands for course and simply means that the horse has previously won here at Punchestown. You may have heard the phrase ‘Horses for courses ’ which implies that some horses perform better at certain racecourses. Therefore, previous winning form here at Punchestown may suggest that it will run well again today.

D Stands for distance and means that the horse has won over the same distance it is racing over today but at another racecourse. So today’s distance should suit.

CD Stands for course and distance so not only has the horse previously won here at Punchestown but when doing so it also won over the same distance that it is racing over today. So, winning form over today’s course and distance may indicate that another strong performance is on the cards.

C D If there is gap between the C and the D it means that the horse has previously won here at Punchestown and also won over the same distance that it is racing over today but at another racecourse So today’s distance should suit and the horse will also be suited by the course

BF Stands for Beaten Favourite. Advises that a horse was well fancied in the past but despite being sent off favourite it failed to win This can be off-putting to some punters especially if it is sent off favourite again today

So now when you run through today’s runners and riders, you can identify which horses run well here at Punchestown and those which will be well suited by the distance that they are racing over.

RACE SUMMARY

A lot of the main contenders for this have been absent for a while, including HICKEYS HILL, who was a winner on handicap debut at Fairyhouse in October He has been off since finishing fifth at Clonmel later that month and may have strengthened up during his time on the sidelines. The son of Hillstar will appreciate the sound surface and his trainer Andy McNamara has had a couple of recent winners. The Border Boy, third to the selection at Fairyhouse after winning at Cork in August, is another returning from a break but has to merit consideration off a light weight. Low Style made the frame a couple of times during the winter and drops in trip and grade WIN: HICKEYS HILL EACH-WAY: THE BORDER BOY

BETTING EXPLAINED

The first thing to consider is which type of bet you wish to place. The most common is a win bet, where if your selection wins, you win. It is a no nonsense, on the nose bet and if you are lucky enough to pick a big-priced winner, you will receive a nice return. For example, place €5 to win on a 10-1 shot and you will receive €55 back, €50 winnings plus your €5 stake. Another common bet is each-way This is effectively two bets in one One bet is on your selection to win and the other is on it to place. Depending on the type of race and how many runners are in the race will determine how many places are offered The industry standard bookmaker place terms are as follows:

All races of less than 5 runners – win only

All races of 5-7 runners –1/4 odds a place, 1,2 All other races of more than 8 runners –1/5, 1,2,3

Handicaps of 12-15 runners –1/4 , 1,2,3

Handicaps of more than 15 runners –1/4 , 1,2,3,4

RACE SUMMARY

SPANISH MAID makes plenty of appeal off a light weight on her return to hurdling. On her first start for Ross O’Sullivan, the Workforce mare was made favourite for a handicap chase at Wexford on St Patrick’s Day and was a creditable second before going one better at Tramore last month. She’s 5lb lower over hurdles and was placed a couple of times in maidens for her previous yard Ode To Joy has been consistent of late and the form of her third at Bellewstown was boosted when the winner went in again on his next start Patrick Street comes here in good heart after winning on the Flat at Limerick.

HANDICAPS EXPLAINED

After three races on the track, the handicap rating system knows enough about a horse to give them an official rating, which in turn determines how much weight they carry in future contests.

For example, if one horse is rated 100, and the other is rated 95, the horse rated five points more than the other will essentially carry an additional 5lb in weight. Should the horse carrying 5lb extra continue to beat horses rated inferior to them or amongst those with similar figures, that horse would rise up the class system to tackle harder races against better individuals.

The aim of a handicap race is to give every horse an equal chance of winning, and the plan is to have every horse crossing the finish line at the same time - which is surprisingly yet to happen!

HEADGEAR EXPLAINED

Have you ever wondered why some horses wear headgear? Is it just a fashion accessory? Most definitely not. Headgear is a useful tool in the armoury of a trainer and is used to aid a horse’s performance on the track.

BLINKERS - Blinkers can be used to aid concentration. A half cup placed behind the horses eye helps them to keep looking forwards to focus on the job at hand - winning their race!

VISORS - Very similar to blinkers but with a slit cut in the side of the cup, which enables a horse to see the other runners around them.

CHEEKPIECES - Sheepskin Cheekpieces work on a similar principle to Blinkers and Visors but allow a slightly better range of vision.

EYE SHIELDS - Eye Shields are a fine mesh that covers the entire eye but they do allow full vision.

HOOD - Covering the ears and head, a hood is used for horses that are easily spooked by crowds or noises, rather than for concentration purposes.

NOSEBAND - A Noseband is designed to restrict the field of vision and encourage a horse to focus on the race, usually lowering their head in the process.

TONGUE STRAP - Horses do not breathe through their mouth but even so, it can hamper speed and performance to have their mouth open or tongue flopping about. A tongue strap prevents this by keeping the tongue in place for the duration of the race.

RACE SUMMARY

WAKEY WAKEY MAN is still searching for a first win, but the Idaho gelding has been placed in three of his last six starts. He wasn’t beaten far when staying on well into third over 2m7f at Clonmel last month and has the assistance of the champion jockey for the first time Schiehallion is a maiden at the age of nine, but has been runner-up three times in similar contests, including at Bellewstown last time out. Where Are You Now was favourite for his handicap debut here in January when beaten a head over 2m. A brother to a winner over 2m4f, he takes a marked step up in trip here.

RACE SUMMARY

SPELLACY’S CROSS was backed down to favouritism in a higher grade at Clonmel and was keeping on in fourth when he departed at the final flight. That was over a shorter trip, but he has form in staying assignments including when fifth in the Cork Grand National last November Annie Button brings the best recent form to the contest having delivered over an extended 3m at Cork last Sunday. She had a tough enough race in winning by a head, but is clearly in good humour Mickey Hulie wasn’t at his best in seventh at Kilbeggan but previous placed efforts in Naas and Limerick give him a chance, while Orlando Spirit is one to note up in trip WIN: SPELLACY’S CROSS EACH-WAY: ANNIE BUTTON

RACE SUMMARY

EMERALD ENIGMA is hard to go past having won on debut in a ladies’ bumper at Cork in March. She ought to come on plenty from that experience, particularly as her jockey pointed out afterwards that it was her first time in a bunch of horses and that she was a bit green on the bends. Working Class Hero attracted support at big prices for his racecourse bow over C&D at the start of the month and ran a pleasing race in second without landing a glove on the impressive winner Point-to-point graduate Coolishael makes his racecourse debut for Ross O’Sullivan’s in-form stable, while Conor O’Dwyer’s Mila Ballerina is a well-related sort. WIN: EMERALD ENIGMA
