The Sky Bet Moscow Flyer has been kind to our star columnist over the years. Check out his thoughts on this year's team.
Punchestown Sunday
13:05 Blood Destiny
Won very well in Naas on his chasing debut so we’ve elected to come here. It looks competitive but I think a lot of him and he jumps very well so we’re hopeful going into it.
The Sky Bet Moscow Flyer has been a good pointer for us over the years, winning it with the likes of Impaire Et Passe, Dysart Dynamo, Min, Douvan and Vautour. It’s a helluva pointer for the rest of the season.
13:35 Lombron
He won well at Thurles on his first start for us and I think he’s come on for that. If two miles isn’t too sharp for him, he’s going to be there or thereabouts.
13:35 Mystical Power
We diverted him from the rescheduled Grade One Lawlor’s Of Naas to this track. He looks like he might need a longer trip but with his pedigree and drying ground at Punchestown he’s going to be very competitive. Hopefully both of my runners can step up to the mark here. They’re two nice horses.
14:05 Lisnagar Fortune
He has the benefit of a run and I thought he’d want a longer trip but he’s a very freegoing sort so I brought him back to two miles and let him gallop. He’s fit and well and will go very close.
14:05 Mercurey
He hasn’t had a run for 400 days. He’s doing everything right at home, however, one would have to lean towards the other horse given he’s had a recent run. Mercurey’s form is good enough to go well but recent form is the factor that is missing for him.
