Irish jumps racing at Punchestown

Several major prospects for the winter have been seen in action in Ireland the last couple of days, and some more promising types are on view at Punchestown today, notably Noel Meade´s Pandorama, one of last year´s best novice hurdlers, who makes his chasing debut under Paul Carberry at 16.25 CET. This race is by no means a pushover, as he faces17 opponents, including the useful Oligarch Society (Mike O´Brien/ Ruby Walsh). Another interesting debutant is Jessica Harrington´s smart bumper Hugo De Vindecy, who has his first race over hurdles in another huge field at 15.25 with Barry Geraghty aboard.
