5:02 Punchestown Tips

A fun race to end the day in this Up The Yard Challenge race with jockeys associated with their respective runners' yards. The honours can go to the Willie Mullins-trained Jump Allen, who looks perfect for this race. He won a flat race (bumper) on debut in a Ladies Pro/Am race. Jump Allen (131) won a Class 2 handicap hurdle at Sandown on his last start, beating a horse called Mostly Sunny (118), a three-time flat winner rated 80. If taken literally, Jump Allen could be rated around 93 on the flat, if not higher. If Jump Allen's fitness can be taken on trust, jockey Natalia Kubacka (a work rider for Willie Mullins and super athletic, being a martial arts competitor at international level) should be entering the winners' enclosure and cap a good day for Willie Mullins.

That Danny Feeling can go well for the Terence O'Brien yard. That Danny Feeling has got Katie Walsh booked today and has some very strong form from last year. It had a race at this track last time out and can go well today.

A fairly entertaining race with the potential for surprises. The odds of 40/1 look tempting, as Rhythmic Tune has good statistics in hurdle races.

Kalaroun could well bounce back nicely here after a long layoff, bringing his flat speed and course experience into play off a very handy mark. He's placed here before from three runs. He goes well on this sharp track, and the tongue strap has already delivered a win plus another place from 21 starts. The stamina pedigree from Starspangledbanner also has the speed from the Shamardal line, and at eight years old the break might just see him return leaner and keener here.
