Punchestown

Today, Hurdle2m

A promising third on hurdles debut in France (form looks solid), MADNESS D'ELLE is fancied to make a winning start for Willie Mullins. Stablemate Mino des Mottes can prove best of the rest, with useful Flat performer Deep Water Bay entitled to improve from his hurdling bow.

    Verdict
    Finished third of 10 in juvenile hurdle at Auteuil on debut for Mlle D. Mele in May last year. That form looks to have plenty of substance and highly encouraging that he gets the vote of confidence from Paul Townend. Could be the one to beat on U.K. debut.

    Useful, progressive stayer on Flat for Sir Mark Prescott. Showed plenty to work with on hurdle/stable debut when fifth of 19 in juvenile hurdle at Leopardstown (16f, good, 14/1) 16 days ago. Entitled to improve.

    Verdict
    Useful stayer on Flat winner. Gelded prior to hurdles debut but unable to justify strong support, 7 lengths fifth and beaten when brought down after 2 out on hurdle debut at Limerick (16f, heavy, 2/1) 17 days ago. Likely to do better at some point and worth a market check.

    Fair 1m Flat winner for James Ferguson. Unfancied in the market on hurdle debut, behind when unseated rider last in juvenile hurdle at Leopardstown (16f, good, 50/1) on NH debut 16 days ago. May prove more of a handicap project.

    Cloth of Stars gelding. Half-brother to French hurdler Lou Princess. Dam, ran twice over hurdles in France, half-sister to French hurdler/chaser (19f winner) Scarlet Row. Runner-up on first of 2 starts in points, last of 8 finishers last time (Nov 2025). Market can guide on Rules debut.

    Verdict
    Promising ex-French 1m4f Flat winner for M. Delzangles. Started life for new yard with a promising hurdle debut fifth at Cork but easy-to-back when ninth of 19 in juvenile hurdle at Leopardstown (16f, good, 25/1) 16 days ago. Remains with potential but we may see best of him in handicaps.
