16:52 Punchestown — TRM Supporting Every Stride Of The Journey Handicap Hurdle model predictions

William Tell (IRE)

0%

Maiden and 2m6f novice winner last year represents a stable in fine form and will be better for last month's Killarney return.

Ottoman Style (GB)

0%

Lightly raced since winning back-to-back 2m4f handicaps in 2023; after six months off, his Kilbeggan comeback was encouraging and he's on a good mark if he comes forward from that.

Beyond Your Dreams (IRE)

0%

Flat and 2m maiden hurdle winner was only beaten 10l in last year's Fred Winter, but has struggled since; while going a longer trip in first-time blinkers wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea, perhaps the trainer knows better.

Falcon Eight (IRE)

0%

Classy stayer on the Flat but getting long in the tooth; infrequent runner over hurdles nowadays and was well behind when unseating late on at the festival here.

Jackmoon (FR)

0%

Still searching for a first win but had some good bumper form early on and hasn't done a lot wrong over hurdles; went close in 2m7f maiden in April and solid third over 3m at Wexford when favourite for handicap debut; should be thereabouts with 7lb claimer back on.

Streets Of Doyen (IRE)

0%

Seven-time winner but best years are behind him and didn't show much in points last term; stable debut.

Good World (IRE)

0%

Latest of five wins was at Fairyhouse in November; pulled up over fences last time; handles good ground and has won over 3m; trainer has said that once he goes over mark of 100, he struggles, but claim will help.

Juke Hill (IRE)

0%

Some fair runs in maidens and heavy ground probably to blame when well-beaten joint-favourite on handicap debut in January; back from a break.

Morell River (IRE)

0%

Both wins have come over 2m4f at Wexford, including on return from layoff last month; stayers in family, including Mikael D'Haguenet, and it all hinges on whether she'll get the trip.

Accustomed (IRE)

0%

Best form is over 2m4f, inclduing when runner-up in Down Royal handicap in March; has run poorly since and tries longer trip here with headgear removed; did win a soft-ground point over 3m.

Work Place (IRE)

0%

Beaten not less than 40l all starts, so the fitting of headgear is the only hope.

Smackwater Jack (IRE)

0%

Won a division of this last year off 92 and he's higher here as a result of being 13lb wrong; well beaten in recent starts.
