While the english were getting all watery at the mouth with regards to Bobs Worth's victory in the hennesy at the weekend, three of irelands top 2nd season novice chasers were preparing for battle at punchestown on sunday.. namely Sir Des Champs, Hidden Cyclone and Flemenstar... im literally dripping from my jaws at this prospect... anyone else?? And who you think will come out on top?

Not too sure about sdc myself, for me I'd have to take flemenstar

I doubt Hidden Cyclone will run before the Lexus, Flemenstar is most certainly the one to be on in the John Durkan but the Lexus is where we will learn something.

still waiting on flemenstar beating something decent
rathlin, blackstairmountain, notus de la tour
call the police, bog warrior, big zeb the pensioner
think sir des champ has more talent, more ability, more class
just a question of fitness and distance on sunday
as reckon he will be brought along slowly
but he is the only future gold cup winner in the race

He might be the only potential gold cup winner in the field but I still think flemenstar is a classier individual.

There is no doubt that flemenstar is the better jumper of the two, and because of that along with a recent run i'm going to side with him on sunday.
but they are both obviously very classy individuals. We will have a clearer idea come sunday

Will be going for SDC in the gold cup however i doubt he will be anywhere near his best on Sunday and use this as prep run for the Lexus.

Im going with Flemenstar over this trip and the fact he has had a run this season already.

Bog warrior N/R Still a quality field. Flemenstar to win

Sprinter sacre vs flemenstar over 2m4 anyone? Henderson talks of aintree at the end of the season presumably he means the melling chase so obviously thinks he could get it.

Would be a no race, Sprinter is different class...any day!

Sprinter Sacre is only having 2 more runs this year Ubar, The Victor Chandler at Ascot followed by the Champion Chase in March at the Festival. Dont think he will go 2m4f ever...they have Finians Rainbow or Riverside Theatre for that..
