BIG-RACE PREVIEWS- Part 3 Daqman has checked out the Warwick Classic and Lanzarote Hurdle for Saturday; now he takes a look at the big novice heat at Punchestown on Sunday.
OPPOSE MULLINS DUO? PASSE!
⭕ 1.10 Punchestown, Sunday (Moscow Flyer Novice Hurdle) Jessica Harrington’s amazing Moscow Flyer won 22 big races, including the Champion Chase twice (2003 and 2005) and a notable three-card trick at Punchestown, a prile of Champion Novice Hurdle, Champion Hurdle and Champion Chase.
Willie Mullins – who else? – has dominated this novice race in Moscow Flyer’s honour.
He got off the mark in the seventh running, with Mikael d’Haguenet in 2009, and last year Dysart Dynamo was his eighth success.
The most notable was Douvan (2015), who would win a dozen major races, including the Cheltenham Festival treble of Supreme Novices, Arkle and Ryanair.
Willie turns the wheel of fortune on Sunday with Impaire Et Passe, who went 18 lengths clear of 24 at Naas in December.
But he can also run CD winner, Tax For Max, who already has a 135 rating.
Gordon Elliottt, who has won this race twice, could run Cardamon Hill and the benchmark, Imagine, but I am intrigued by his unbeaten Shecouldbeanything.
The mare went clear of her field on heavy ground at Limerick, giving 13lb to the four-lengths runner-up over 2m 4f. Back to 2m on Sunday, she could be anything.
HARROVIAN TO SCHOOL RIVALS
⭕ 1.50 Newcastle A Fast-Track Qualifier and by far and away the best race on a slightly depleted Newcastle card.
John and Thady Gosden have only had two runners so far in 2023 – striking with Calmly who romped home at Kempton last night in the race where I fancied Brora Breeze who now looks to want an even longer trip.
The Gosden’s saddle Harrovian and Forest Of Dean in this class 2 and whilst jockey bookings suggest the former is first string, the official ratings suggest there is just a couple of pounds between the pair.
However, the Gosden pair also ran against each other on their latest starts at Lingfield where Harrovian was four lengths superior and it’s hard to see that form being turned around here.
He looks a decent bet on the Betdaq Betting Exchange and rates as my nap of the day.
IT’S A KINDA MAGIC
⭕ 3.35 Newcastle Kraken Power dominates the market for the closing sprint handicap but his overall profile of 1 win from 25 and 0 from 6 on the all-weather hardly inspires confidence.
He caught the eye of the stewards here last time out when an eye-catching fifth with traffic problems being blamed.
Off the same mark he might be well handicapped but he’s back in trip today and more often than not disappoints.
I’ll take a chance with Modular Magic who is lightly raced on the all-weather and put in a good shift at Southwell last time out when fourth to Murbih and if anything this looks an easier assignment.
NOD AND A WINK
⭕ 8.30 Chelmsford Bascinet and Mia Nicholls scrambled home here last week but might be vulnerable under a penalty.
It might be best left to the David Evans trained Winklevi who was also a course and distance winner here last time out but with it coming in an apprentice race he escapes a penalty and is clearly racing off a good mark.
