2:25 Punchestown Tips

QUANTUM QUEST has always looked like a Chaser and looks like the one they all have to beat in this beginners chase.A decent hurdler who won twice last season,he looks tempting at the overnight 3/1...

Has run well in the last three runs. Should have a good chance based on recent form, especially with a 7-pound claimer on board today.

Mister Frostie does have 1 win and a 3rd-place finish from 3 outings in point-to-point races, which shows the calibre is there. But it hasn't quite clicked yet since making the switch to new trainer C A McBratney in March. Pulled up most recently at Kilbeggan, but that being less than a week ago actually gives me reason for encouragement, as they clearly feel he is ready to go rather than any lingering concerns. 50/1 on a place here looks generous with 3 on offer, and to me the 3rd place looks wide open. I wouldn't completely rule out the win equity here either, with the market leaders far from sure things, as shown by said market not being able to split the leading 3 candidates.
