Punchestown 2:10

1 point win Ha D’or 2/1 generally.

Ha D’or jumped really well to win on his chasing debut over 2m5.5f at Fairyhouse. He beat the more experienced Gordon Elliott runner The Goffer (rated 138) comfortably. The Goffer didn’t produce his best at Warwick today but I am still confident that Ha D’or will go well dropping down in trip by two furlongs tomorrow. He ran well over hurdles such as when behind Flame Bearer twice in Grade 2 novice hurdles last season. He was very free over hurdles but seems to have matured and is settling better this season over fences. Impervious is a good mare who will relish going out in trip but carries a double penalty against the boys so gives Ha D’or a pound here. Journey With Me was the best of these over hurdles but I am not convinced by his jumping over fences while Minella Crooner might find this trip around Punchestown on the sharp side. Ha D’or is a novice chaser but if his jumping holds up well, he is the one to beat for champion trainer Willie Mullins.
