The Paul Nicholls' trained Twist Magic heads a list of 10 acceptors for the Grade 1 Kerrygold Champion Chase on the first day of the Punchestown Festival. The Tingle Creek winner flopped in the Champion Chase at the Cheltenham Festival, and his trainer will be hoping that his charge can bounce back to winning ways on Tuesday. The 6 year old is the 9-4 favourite for the two mile contest. The Punchestown Guinness Gold Cup is the feature race on the second day of the Festival, and last year's winner Neptune Collonges is the 11-8 favourite for the race. Paul Nicholls' charge won the race last year, and he'll be aiming to record back-to-back victories in the race on Wednesday. The grey will face a maximum of 14 rivals in the race including Mossbank, Kicking King, Cloudy Lane, and Beef Or Salmon, who will be retired after the race. Blazing Bailey and Kazal are the 7-2 joint favourites for the a competitive looking Ladbrokes World Series Hurdle. The pair head a list of 17 horses that could line up in the 3 mile contest. Other notable entries include the talented novices Cooldine, and Venalmar. The ACC Bank Champion hurdle is arguably the race of the week. Sizing Europe, who flopped in the Smurfit Champion Hurdle in March, is rated the 5-2 favourite for the race. The disappointing Cheltenham favourite could be joined by the 2007 Champion Hurdler Sublimity, the Aintree Hurdle winner Al Eile, and Punjabi, who finished third in this year's Smurfit Champion Hurdle. |
