As Tuesdays go, this upcoming one is pretty special as the five-day Punchestown Festival gets under starters orders! The festival runs from April 27 to May 1 at the Co Kildare venue, and we are set for a final feast of top class Jumps racing for the season this week.

The day’s proceedings are headlined by the Group 1 Champion Chase at 17:25 as the Willie Mullins-trained Chacun Pour Soi looks to put Cheltenham disappointment to bed, but will face a stern test from the likes of Allaho and Nube Negra in opposition.

With eight races on the card, it promises to be an intriguing day of action and of course, we’ve got the great Ruby Walsh onboard to help us with our picks from the stacked card. That’s right, we’ve shaken his best bets out of him and placed them into a handy cheat sheet to help you get your nose in front of Paddy.

Ruby is well able to speak for himself, so we’ll let him tell you his selections and explain why they are the right play for you on the day in the cheat sheet below. You can read more on them here.
