Punchestown

Tomorrow, April 29, 2025ChaseClass 13m

BALLYBURN didn't appear to relish being ridden with restraint and ultimately found his chance compromised with a significant mistake at the seventh when fifth in the Brown Advisory at Cheltenham last month. However, Willie Mullins' charge undoubtedly remains with potential in this sphere, not least over 3m+ and he's selected to gain compensation back on home soil. Impaire et Passe, who arrives following success at Aintree, and Lecky Watson, who defeated the selection latest, head the dangers.

    Verdict
    Leading novice hurdler of 2023/24 who was much more at home back up in trip when doubling his chase tally in Gr 1 at Leopardstown (21.5f) in February. Fluffed his lines (significant error seventh) in Brown Advisory at Cheltenham latest but he undoubtedly remains capable of better still over fences.

    Verdict
    Placed at Grade 1 level over hurdles and comes here 3-3 over fences, showing the best turn of foot when taking Grade 1 Brown Advisory at Cheltenham (24.5f) 7 weeks ago, by 4 lengths from re-opposing Stellar Story. A repeat gives him sound claims.

    Verdict
    High-class winner over hurdles who is 3 from 4 over larger obstacles, dispelling a lacklustre run at Leopardstown (21.5f) in February fitted with cheekpieces when running out a good winner of the Grade 1 Manifesto at Aintree (19.9f) 26 days ago. Claims if seeing out the trip.

    Positive profile over hurdles and similar story over fences, his second success coming in a Cork Grade 3 (20f) in November. Similar form in defeat in pair of Grade 1's at Fairyhouse/Cheltenham since and he's an each-way player.

    Verdict
    Rapid improver over hurdles, career-best display when landing last season's Supreme at the Festival. Lightly raced since, jumping better than he did on chase debut when runner-up to Lecky Watson in a Naas maiden (20f) in December. Remains with potential back from a break on first try at 3m.

    Verdict
    Quickly reached a smart level in this sphere, building on his maiden victory when bagging Naas Gr 2 in January. Struggled in Irish Arkle next start before exiting at the third at Fairyhouse (20f) 9 days ago but feasible to think he still has more to offer now tackling this trip for the first time.

    Verdict
    Smart hurdler who landed last season's Albert Bartlett and similar form over fences, landing Grade 3 here in November. Matched previous best when chasing home Stellar Story in Brown Advisory Chase and stamina looks his strong suit. Respected.

    Verdict
    Smart chaser who made most of good opportunity when readily landing Navan Grade 3 in March. Posted a creditable effort whilst seemingly having limitations exposed in Fairyhouse Grade 1 9 days ago and work to do having first crack at this sort of trip.

    Verdict
    Lightly-raced 10-y-o who was consistent over hurdles but different proposition over fences, typically jumping well when bringing up the hat-trick in mares' listed event at Exeter (24.2f, heavy) in February. Never travelling well when pulled in Gr. 1 at Aintree latest though, and this another big ask
