In depth

Verdict

Miss Punch never really looked like winning under Jody Townend at Punchestown in November but is entitled to come on for the experience. Goatitagain was a 100/1 chance on the same track on New Year's Eve but ran well for a long way while any market move for Vinnie Is Busy should be noted. FREEDOM TO DREAM showed the benefit of his opening run at Galway with a good effort over 2m4f at Leopardstown. This will probably prove on the short side in the long term but the opposition doesn't look up to much so he can go one better.
