This year's Punchestown Festival is almost here and excited punters will be in search of the best Punchestown tips available ahead of the world famous five day meeting.
With almost €3 million on offer over the course of the week, Britain’s leading trainers and jockeys flock to Punchestown to battle it out in some of the most competitive races of the season and the racing is as enthralling as it is fiercely competitive.
With 39 different races, ten Grade One showpieces to savour and with a race card packed with quality and quantity the meeting is one of the most daunting on the calendar and decent Punchestown tips can be hard to come by.
Luckily for punters we’ve got out team working overtime as we look to give you the best Punchestown tips for one of the greatest shows on turf. With the final day of the meeting also representing the final day of racing of the Irish Jumps Season, racing fanatics and keen gamblers will be looking to end a profitable few months on a high with a few winning Punchestown tips at Ireland’s most famous prestigious festival.
The Punchestown Festival is the perfect place for some of the sport’s leading stars to cement their reputations after their exploits at the Cheltenham Festival or the Aintree Grand National meeting. This year Kauto Star will head the Festival billing in the 2011 Guinness Gold Cup and Paul Nicholls’ legendary chaser will be looking to win the race for the first time. It would certainly complete his impeccable CV and secure his position as one of the greatest jumpers of all time and it would be no surprise to see him at the head of many people’s Punchestown tips.
His appearance at the meeting will have racing fanatics tingling with anticipation, but few races will attract as much attention as the Rabobank Champion Hurdle as Hurricane Fly looks to build on his sensational success in the last month’s Champion Hurdle.
Hurricane Fly looks to be the best Irish hurdler since the mighty Istabraq and he will be looking to prove it when he faces formidable British duo Menorah and Binocular in one of the most intriguing races of the season.
Willie Mullins’ formidable French import will be many people’s idea of the perfect Punchestown tip, with his change of gears, slick jumping and ability to quicken all essential ingredients for a horse chasing Rabobank Champion Hurdle glory.
There will be plenty of Punchestown tips flying around for Henry de Bromhead’s dual Cheltenham Festival hero Sizing Europe who bounced back to form in style in the Queen Mother Champion Chase at last month’s meeting.
His explosive performance in the Queen Mother Champion Chase had punters wondering why he had not been like that all season and there will be plenty of people giving out Punchestown tips who believe Colm Murphy’s Big Zeb could reverse the form at the Punchestown Festival.
Our tipsters were on hand to nail multiple winners and give you unrivalled Punchestown tips on each day of last year’s Festival and we were spot on telling you which of the short-priced favourites to duck at the track.
Ever since the end of last year’s meeting we have been counting down the days to next week’s extravaganza and we are ready to top last year’s bookie-bashing performance with our top Punchestown tips.
