Trialanderror

In the 4.55 Novice hurdle at Punchestown Wed. BATTLE GROUP stands out. He comfortably won his last race at Aintree beating some tough campaigners including last years winner Ringaroses and course winner Sir Harry Ormshire. I wonder how these other novices would have coped. The Aintree race has previously been won by Time For Rupert and Alberta’s Run.It was only BATTLE GROUPS second attempt at todays distance of 3 miles. There are some promising youngsters here but the selection might know a bit more at this stage.

1 pt EW BATTLE GROUP @ 8-1 , 1/4 odds a place with 365.

Or  7-1 win generally but don’t take 1/5 odds for a place.
