Friday's Punchestown Preview

3:40pm There's the the usual eccentricity to this event with the 2009 and 2010 winners renewing rivalries. Shin A Vee won in 2009 but was narrowly beaten by COOL WARRIOR the following year and, while Derek O'Connor is a notable booking, Shin A Vee has been absent for 772 days and is now passed over. Preference is for 12 year old COOL WARRIOR, who at least has proven fitness on his side. The other 14 runners have mustered just 10 point to points wins between them and finding a form alternative to either of the two previous winners is difficult. Ten year old Norwich Flyer has three point to point wins to his name though and may play a prominent roll while Enniskillen, who worringly is still a maiden point to pointer, ran ok in the Ladies Cup on Tuesday and has minor claims. The Begrudger is a dual point to point winner a long time ago but hasn't shown anything worth mentioning recently. (TW) Fri 26th Apr

After race at Leopardstown Sun, 27th Jan, 2013 (1st)

that's my first winner since last May (Mac Tigue at Cork on May 25 2012). We've been knocking on the door and it's not as if they have been running that badly but I must admit I wasn't that confident passing the line and I was thinking 'here we go again'! . I'm thrilled that he won . he is still a bit of a frame and should improve again next year.

Conor O'Dwyer

After race at Punchestown Wed, 22nd Feb, 2012 (1st)

I'm delighted! He disappointed the last day at Leopardstown, not even where he finished, but how he travelled during the race - it wasn't like him. Maybe he was a bit off the boil but it's nice to get the win out of the way. The weight allowance was a big help and we'll go handicapping and see how he goes. He's still a big baby and is a nice one to look forward to.
