Review PUNCHESTOWN 29th May

Dbest (7-2) jumped his rivals ragged to claim the spoils in the Enhance Marketing Chase.

Always in the front rank, he saw off nearest pursuer Coolgreaney five out and by the time John Cullen took a look over his shoulder after landing over the third-last, he had his rivals toiling in his wake.

From that point, Dbest didn't have a moment's worry and he coasted home 11 lengths clear of Wishwillow Lord, who got the better of Eye Candy for second.

Connections attributed his facile win to the quick conditions and indicated a Flat campaign is a possible option.

Not Broke Yet benefited from a typically-confident Paul Carberry ride to slam her rivals in the Ballymore Eustace Mares Maiden Hurdle.

Never too far from the pace in the two-mile contest, the Tom Mullins-trained 5-1 shot made her bid for glory when cruising up to the leaders before the turn.

Allowed an inch of rein, she zoomed away from her rivals in a matter of strides and despite Carberry not having to resort to the whip, she finished four and a half lengths to the good over market leader Ferry Point.

Carberry followed up when producing Jewel Of The West (13-2) right on the line in division one of the Panoramic Restaurant (C&G) Maiden Hurdle.

Even-money favourite Kevkat threw away his chance when running erratically approaching the last and in a three-way finish, Carberry pounced on Noel Meade's representative to deny Ruby Walsh and The God Of Love by a short head.

Jason McKeown brought Persian Return with a well-timed challenge to land the Conyngham Cup (Q.R) Handicap Chase.

Taking up the running between the last two obstacles, the 12-1 chance appeared booked for a comfortable victory but had to be kept up to his work to repel the renewed threat of long-time leader Galway Legend by half a length.
