Punchestown

Saturday, May 3, 2025Chase3m

MAJESTIC FORCE proved her stamina when landing the odds in a Wexford maiden chase upped to 25.4f in March and, with the promise of better to come from this lightly-raced mare now switched to handicap company, she could be the answer. There are some interesting British raiders in the line-up, with Beachcomber and Jasmin De Grugy both in with a chance, while the selection's stablemate Amirite and Canal End, who did the job well at Navan last time, are others to consider.

    Verdict
    Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Fourth of 6 in handicap chase (6/1) at Wincanton (25.1f, heavy) 93 days ago. Trainer going well but this 9-y-o will need to improve if he's to take this.

    Lightly-raced winner under Rules. 10/11, didn't need to be at best when winning 9-runner novice chase at Wexford (25.4f, good to soft) 47 days ago, bit in hand. Mark for this handicap debut looks fair and she's a key player.
