Forpadydeplasterer scores at Punchestown

The Panoramic Restaurant Beginners Chase was won by the Tom Cooper trained Forpadydeplasterer in the hands of Davy Russell making it a double on the day for the jockey.

Cooper said afterwards, "That's a relief, he jumped super and he jumped to the front at times. The Drinmore Chase is next on the agenda over 2 1/2 miles and I wouldn't rule out going back over 2 miles if the ground came up like a bog at Christmas."

Winning Jockey Russell said, "His jumping was economical and he will come on in all ways from that."

Boyle Sports have quoted Forpadydeplasterer 12/1 from 16/1 for The Arkle.
