Horse racing tips for Saturday at Punchestown


Check out Fran Berry and Billy Nash's best bets and a preview of every race for the fifth and final day of the Punchestown Festival on Friday.


SATURDAY


Going and weather:

Good to Yielding, yielding in places (Hurdle/Chase/Bumper) and good, good to yielding in places (Cross Country) following 1mm of rain overnight. Dry this morning with possibility of heavy showers (5-10mm approx) in the afternoon.


17:30 Fitzwilliam Sports Handicap Hurdle

Timeform verdict: Willie Mullins has a tremendous record in this race and fields half-a-dozen candidates. HEIA, who is Paul Townend's pick, arrives here fresh on the back of an encouraging spin at Fairyhouse where she was returning from 9 months off, and the 6-y-o may well be the answer. Tax For Max, another member of the Mullins battalion, put in a good shift here on Tuesday and is feared most with this step back up in trip a good move. The in-form Seddon, An Epic Song and Green Glory are others to consider.

Timeform top rated: Tax For Max

Sky Bet offer: Paying 6 places instead of 4


18:05 Lawlors Hotel Naas (Pro/Am) Flat Race

Timeform verdict: The betting will help sort these out, with expensive recruit RAINBOW TRAIL and the Willie Mullins' pair Barons Revenge and Sorrentino the three against the field as things stand.

Timeform top rated: NA

Sky Bet offer: Paying 4 places instead of 3
