Does anyone know why Derek O'Connor is riding and not Paul Townend? I think the horse is a big price at 25/1 and just thought it strange that O'Connor was riding.

I'd say the race was more an after thought for connections of Uncle Junior after the Cheltenham mishap and Townend has ridden the other one last three outings and had more than likely accepted the ride thinking he'd  be ok to do so and it's just been left like that.

Very sticky over a lot of jumps and never really got going,Townend's mount 4th.

Yeah agree with that punchestown, his jumping of conventional fences has never been great but thought I'd have a go at the price.
