2:30 Punchestown Going Soft / Distance - 3m 0f

Pool Value: £7742.56

This event poses a specific difficulty on account of so many of these having run in Thursday's La Touche. A tentative vote goes to fifth-placed THE GOFFER to reverse form with the winner Busselton, and course specialists Three By Two and Vital Island. The shorter trip should suit Kevin Sexton's mount who finished third in the 2m5f Topham. Despite falling victim to the course on Thursday, Vanillier and Stealthy Tom should not be ruled out.

Subset 33-1 winner of this event in 2023 with Three By Two back in third; nothing to suggest he can cause a similar upset; last of nine finishers in Thursday's La Touche.

Three By Two Third reserve; 95-rated chaser but has run much better than that mark on several occasions in this sphere; beaten just 2.75l by Stumptown here in November and ran a fine race when fifth at Cheltenham in December; remote sixth behind Vanillier here in February; valiant effort when third in the La Touche.
