Punchestown 12th October

We have two runners in the 2m 2f conditions hurdle. Koshari (Brian Hayes) goes back over hurdles after finishing unplaced in the Kerry National last time. He is suited by these race conditions and has won twice around here. Dropping back in trip today should help and he looks sure to give a good account. Dysart Diamond (Jack Foley) won a handicap hurdle over 2 miles at Listowel last time and will have no problem with this longer trip. The ground will suit her really well and her rider’s claim will be a big help. However, on official ratings, she looks held by Koshari.
