RACING LEE'S SATURDAY PUNCHESTOWN TIPS

An empathic winner of the Mares Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival, Lossiemouth looks way ahead of these. Take nothing away from her classy rivals, who are some highly rated graded mares, Lossiemouth just hasn’t looked back in her last four runs.

Take away a blip in the Spring Juvenile last season, where she had to make up a lot of ground to finish runner-up, she would be unbeaten. She went and won the Triumph Hurdle after that, before winning at this meeting easily again. She reappeared at Cheltenham beating some fair yardsticks and done it oozing class.

She done the same again in the big mare's race at the Cheltenham Festival and should confirm her superiority in this race.

The form of his Martin Pipe run looks solid, he was second after travelling well into the race. The winner ran a fair third in a Grade One this week. The third has since bolted up at Ayr’s Scottish Grand National meeting. The fourth franked the form too by running a close second here on Wednesday. The rest were well beating and those top four pulled along way clear.

He was well punted by his big owner that day, sent off 100-30 favourite for that warm contested handicap. He’s a winner already, and his yard are going great guns, they are already on the scoreboard this week at this meeting and have had ten winners in the last fortnight at the time of writing.

He looks to be on a fair mark and sure to go well.

I think Storm Heart is slightly over-looked, because of his Triumph Hurdle run. Rightly so perhaps, but he was the choice from six mounts of stable number one, Paul Townend. As was the case in their previous Grade One run at the Dublin Racing Festival, were runner-up to Kargese. He was ahead of the Triumph Hurdle hero, Majborough at the Dublin Racing Festival and, had previously bolted up at this course prior to that.

I’m the forgiving type, and I’m happy to chance him for this to get back to winning ways, for a horse coming here fresher than some.
