2:48 Punchestown Tips

Kimi De Mai finished fifth on her hurdling debut in a hot race at Naas, where Bambino Fever finished second. Today, on paper, she appears to face much easier opposition. With that being her first race over hurdles, Kimi De Mai will almost certainly improve and could well be another winner for Willie Mullins on today's card at Punchestown.

Gelded son of Jeu St Eloi & Quick Des Sacarat ( Dam's sire Ragmar ) who was last seen making his hurdles bow at Navan 37 days ago where finishing a very respectable 3rd/25 travelling extremely well throughout and only being passed by two high class individuals with the horse in second place on the occasion going on to win impressively next time out now with that run under his belt having gained plenty of experience from that outing and open to plenty of progress and improvement stepping up trip here that most certainly being a good move by his top connections as this trip can bring out a much bolder showing G Elliott's inmate looks poised to strike and possesses all the necessary credentials to do so yard also saddles Albus here however Lord Torbin is the percentage call in my point of view worth noting this stable is in top for from and in very good order jockey Jack Kennedy takes the ride and can give Lord Torbin a promising ride here at Punchestown and this strongly built individual will be taking no prisoners . Respected .
