    Last decent festival until the good horses come back in the winter....

    Think I posted this somewhere in this forum but I have two reserved enclosure tickets for Punchestown on the Thursday, world hurdle and novice chase day, dunno if will be able to get off work for it so may have them spare, 40quid each face value but would sell the pair for 50quid if anyone here is interested.

    Any tips for the week?

    Usually someone (I'm looking at you tommy mullins and the likes) have a few kept for this instead of travelling over to the uk, and an upset or two always likely to occur.

    just looked at tomorrow's race card there, it looks a death trap for punters - be careful and don't get too carried away lads.

    The only one that stood out for me is 'general miller'. Won at aintree recently, and i am sure nicky henderson wouldn't send him over here unless he was right.

    Think he means ticket sales are well down on previous years. I was looking at the festival website and all hospitality packages are sold out at near 200 a pop, so not doing too bad.

    There is really good word around for Rebeca Curtis's Scoter Fontaine in the 5.30 Punchestown. Best price now 7/2. Doc O'Connor jocked up. That's a tip in itself.

    if Denman repeats his run from Cheltenham today, all other horses are playing for second place. Simple as that
