Quicker than Boris Johnson can backtrack on where he got his new drapes, we find ourselves at Day 4 of the Punchestown Festival and thankfully, the action has been far more interesting than what you’d find at PMQs!

Boris may be a political powerhouse, but we’ve got our own heavyweight (in name only) in the form of racing legend Ruby Walsh and we’ve got him up on the dispatch box for the fourth day on the spin to give you all the tips you’ll need for the fab Festival in Co Kildare.

The day’s feature, the Paddy Power Champion Hurdle, takes place 17:25 and it sees Cheltenham heroine Honeysuckle slug it out with Epatante, Abacadabras and Sharjah for the prize. Being the sound folks, we’re are also offering a £100,000 bonus to any British-trained horse if they can come over and win this race.

But, who is Ruby tipping you ask? All will be revealed in our handy cheat sheet guide for Day 4!

Ruby’s Punchestown Plays On Friday

Like most punters on these islands, Ruby fancies HONEYSUCKLE to get the job done and put the English raiders firmly in their place in the Paddy Power Champion Hurdle. Henry De Bromhead’s mare has answered any challenge she has ever been given and our man doesn’t see that changing here.

The ITV Racing analyst is also backing FILS D’OUDAIRIES to do the business for Joseph O’Brien in the Novice Handicap Chase at 16:15. It might be a shock to see him not pick Asterion Forlonge, but Ruby will explain himself below.

Finally, our racing ambassador has given the nod to another O’Brien entrant International Novice Hurdle at 19:05, as Ruby fancies KESKONRISK as his NAP on the day!

So why not download our tidy cheat sheet guide and get your WhatsApp group buzzing with some decent tips for a change!
