Ruby Walsh’s Punchestown Tips:

16:15 – Kilcruit
16:50 – Impervious
17:25 – State Man
18:00 – Impaire Et Passe
18:35 – Vaucelet
19:10 – Arctic Bresil
19:45 – Lecky Watson

16:15 – Kilcruit

My eyes were drawn to Kilcruit off a mark of 148. He probably hasn’t lived up to expectations yet but he is a Grade 1 bumper winner and he has a massive chance off a solid mark.

16:50 – Impervious

Impervious beat Allegorie De Vassy at Cheltenham and we’ll get the same result here. Impervious is fresh after the Cheltenham win and Allegorie De Vassy has ran since the Festival when finishing second at Fairyhouse earlier this month.

17:25 – State Man

State Man will uphold the form and while Vauban will get closer, it’s State Man’s to lose. He’s a short price but it’s hard to see a different winner.

    18:00 – Impaire Et Passe

    Going back right handed will help Champ Kiely, however, Impaire Et Passe looks the standout. He will win barring accident and hopefully there will be a match up against Constitution Hill in the winter.

      18:35 – Vaucelet

      Vaucelet is the best horse in the race and while David Christie’s runners weren’t in the best form in March and April, it’s hard to see anyone else winning. He disappointed at Cheltenham so I’m hoping he can bounce back.

      19:10 – Arctic Bresil

      I can’t see Uncle Phil winning and it’s hard to know what to expect from Sa Majeste. If the Arctic Bresil that beat Mercurey at Cork turns up, he will be hard to beat.

      19:45 – Lecky Watson

      Willie Mullins has Lecky Watson, Dr Eggman and Did I Ask You That – and Lecky Watson sets the standard. He ran a belter in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham when finishing fourth behind A Dream To Share and I’m not going to take him on.
