The Paul Flynn trained Archie Boy bounced back to his best form with a win in the www.motivatechallenge.com Chase at Punchestown today, scoring readily under Davy Russell.

Afterwards Flynn stated “we’ll aim Archie Boy at the Kerry National at the end of the summer and while the handicapped might put him up for today’s win, I don’t think he should do as he was entitled to win today.”

“The Midlands National at Kilbeggan is another target and while he could end up having top weight, his class could see him through. The ground today was grand although I thought it would be too slow.”
