4:55 Punchestown Tips

Lukers Tipple had a decent season over hurdles without winning, including two 2nd places in four runs. He ran in the Fred Winter at the Cheltenham Festival and on the flat in April, beaten a neck in 2nd place. Should get his first win.

The model I run suggests Mick Collins can win this one. Mick Collins lines up here with the highest RPR of this 14-horse field and does not look to be penalized for it in the weights. All horses, bar a few, line up with the exact same initial amount of weight to carry over this 2m maiden hurdle. This is a very inexperienced lineup, but Mick Collins has some of the most experience on offer here and will come on well for the last run out 29 days ago, where a reasonable 5th might prove valuable. The model has issued a 'very low' stake indicator, which translates to a 0.5pt stake on a scale of 0-4.

TATATEO is a 77 rated flat horse from his time spent on the level in Britain , so he should have enough ability to show up well in a maiden hurdle of this nature having now moved to an Irish yard. He did have a look around Killarney in a race won by the trainer's other runner which is interesting , so apparently with the yard looking for theIr runners to break their maidens early under this code he could surprise.
