Punchestown 4.50 - Mullins runs 7 in this but the clear value each way stand-out for me is RUAILLE BUAILLE a very cosy course and Distance winner here in September. Has been kept back from the deep heavy winter ground and had a nice run last time really catching the eye. Danny Mullins takes the ride and the handicap mark and conditions backed by that proven Course form point to a bold run.

 

Punchestown 7.00 - The Banks race and the top pair dominate the market. Youcannotbeserious comes off a 728 day break so the "odds on" is no value and at 9/4 Saint Benedict is probably better value if you want a straight win bet. The rest are a pretty motley crew but with Jamie Codd up and some proven Banks and P2P form the each way banker would seem to be VITAL ISLAND and I also think that the next most likely to upset the applecart is SINGING BANJO who has far and away the most interesting P2P form in terms of consistency of the remainder and some experience over the Banks too.
