PUNCHESTOWN TIPS: The best bets for Day 1 of Punchestown
Tuesday, April 27, 2021 );
A tricky opener to dissect but I like the trajectory of
SCHOLASTIC (9/1) for Joseph O Brien. He was eight lengths down on Cheltenham Boodles winner Jeff Kidder when they met in Fairyhouse at Easter, finishing ahead of stablemate Busselton. A couple of weeks ago, he travelled to Cheltenham and finished second to Her Indoors having met with some trouble in-running and been short of room when the race was developing two out. He also has good course form having beaten Jeff Kidder here last September. He was also second behind subsequent Triumph Hurdle winner a month later on the same track on similar ground. That will do for me.

Tuesday 4.15 eCOMM Merchant Solutions Champion Novice Hurdle
With no Appreciate It, I d say Paul Townend has gone for Blue Lord because he finished second to Bob Olinger and was going to finish second to Appreciate It at Cheltenham when he fell at the last. They re the two outstanding novices.
He s gone for Blue Lord probably on that basis, but Echoes In Rain was incredibly impressive at Fairyhouse where Paul rode her but he still opts for Blue Lord.
