Punchestown

Tomorrow, May 1, 2025Hurdle2m7f

An ultra-competitive handicap with BEAT THE BAT receiving the tentative vote. Harry Fry's 7-y-o shaped well when fourth of 26 in the Coral Cup at the Cheltenham Festival, leaving the impression he'll stay further still, so he makes a fair amount of appeal now stepping up to 3m for the first time. Karl des Tourelles, Chart Topper and Jeriko du Reponet are just a trio of potential threats.

    Won first 3 starts over hurdles, including a Grade 2. Struggled to reach those heights at the end of last season/start of this season but confirmed promise of Pertemps qualifier third when runner-up to Doddiethegreat in the Final in first-time cheekpieces. Could have a big handicap in him yet.
