With day one of the Dublin Racing Festival<\/a> cancelled, this had a knock-on effect to the other Irish meetings this week.<\/p>\n

The good news is there are no reported issues at the track, with the action getting going at 12:28pm and ending at 3:58pm.<\/p>\n

So see below our quickfire 1-2-3 Punchestown horse racing tips and also some helpful stats to take into each race.<\/p>\n

12:28 – ThatPrizeGuy.co.uk P.P. Hogan Memorial Cross Country Chase (5yo+) 3m1f RTV<\/h3>\n

Former Irish Gold Cup winner, Conflated is now 12 and has been running in Points – but Jack Kennedy prefers the other Gordon Elliott runner The Goffer.<\/p>\n

He was fifth in the race last year – but beaten a massive 31 lengths, so does have a fair bit of ground to make up on last year’s winner VANILLIER,<\/strong> who is also back for more.<\/p>\n

But is 14lbs better off this time with the 2025 winner and should go close.<\/p>\n

However, the 2023 Grand National runner-up (Vanillier) landed this prize by 18 lengths last season and after a fine third at Haydock in the Last Fling Chase at Haydock should be spot on for his title defence.<\/p>\n

Of the rest, Cavalry Master and Shannon Royale are proven course winners, which is a plus over this Cross Country course.<\/p>\n

While trainer Enda Bolger has a top record in the contest – so the former Grade One Melling Chase winner Fakir d’Oudairies is noted too.<\/p>\n
