Day 3 of the Punchestown Festival kicks off with a typically fiendish looking big-field handicap hurdle, and you’d be forgiven for feeling a strong sense of déjà vu, as that’s exactly how day 2 began. To confuse you all further, one of two picks in the Specialist Group Handicap Hurdle at 3.40 at Punchestown is the same horse as it was in the first race on day 2!
Luminous Light at 33/1 each-way generally for 6 places is worth chancing just 24 hours on from an excellent effort in 5th in Wednesday’s 2m3f handicap hurdle, where perhaps he didn’t quite stay, but travelled strikingly well through the race.
Dropping to 2m on ground that will still be very much to his liking, the obvious worry is the quick turnaround, but I’m actually an advocate of how well horses can back up quickly, and we see it regularly at the likes of the Galway Festival.
Luminous Light actually has a decent record when reappearing back after less than 2 weeks, so at 33/1 each-way generally for 6 places, if he turns up in similar form to Wednesday, then he’s way overpriced.
The other one to back in the race is Garrybello at 33/1 each-way with Bet365 for 6 places, and he is another horse who will appreciate dropping back in trip to the minimum, after his recent hurdle runs have been smooth-travelling, non-staying efforts over further.
That Garrybello runs here fresh from 4 months off the track could easily be a positive, and with Danny Mullins booked, it’s unlikely this is a sighter for something else, and so he can outrun his odds of 33/1 each-way with Bet365 for 6 places.
The Frontline Security Handicap Chase at 4.15 at Punchestown is set to be fast and furious, with all of the usual 2m handicap chasers lining up, but it is handicap chase debutant Senecia that might be worth a go at 28/1 each-way generally for 5 places.
That Senecia is a handicap debutant is a little misleading, as he has built up a good level of experience in 7 chase starts to date, and some of those read extremely well. Mixing it with the likes of Hercule Du Seuil, Sharjah and Letsbeclearaboutit, as he did last summer/autumn suggest that Senecia is a better horse than his rating of 137 suggests.
Senecia is such a big price of 28/1 each-way generally for 6 places due to his last 3 starts, which have all come on unsuitably very testing ground, and so Senecia could easily be a live player in an open race, back on his favoured sound surface.
The last bet on Thursday is perhaps the best of them, as the classy mare Anna Bunina is available at 20/1 each-way with BetUK for 6 places in the Conway Piling Handicap Hurdle at 6.35 at Punchestown, and as she is being supported, I’ll put the proviso in that I’d back her at anything north of 8/1.
A Scottish Champion Hurdle winner and runner-up in the Grade 1 Mares Hurdle at last year’s Punchestown Festival, Anna Bunina is extremely good on her day, and has long been crying out for a step up in trip.
She has tried 3m in both her starts this side of Christmas, in a Pertemps Qualifier and the Final itself, and on both occasions, she has run extremely well from off the pace and away from the main action, and on ground she would have detested.
This looks infinitely easier, and on ground she will float over, Anna Bunina is an excellent bet at 20/1 each-way with BetUK for 6 places.

We don’t provide tips for every race televised on ITV but as we cover all of the major racing festivals, many of our tips apply to ITV races and our tipsters will often provide an in depth preview of each day of festivals such as Cheltenham, Royal Ascot, Good wood and Galway.
Our racing tips are usually published in the morning but if you’d like to be notified when a new tip is posted, you can join our horse racing tips telegram group for free. This is recommended as the odds can fluctuate and move dramatically lower on certain selections once the value has been spotted !
For each tip that is published, we recommend a bookmaker to place the bet with. Of course, you can use any bookmaker that is offering odds on the specified race but there is a reason why we recommend bookies for certain bets. For example, if a tip is an Each Way selection, we may recommend a bookmaker offering Extra Places on the race. We also take odds into consideration and so if there aren’t any betting offers available on the race, we simply recommend the bookie offering the greatest odds. If you don’t have an account with the bookmaker we are suggesting to place the bet with and are interested in creating an account with them, be sure to check out our free bets page to find the latest welcome offer for that particular bookie.
Absolutely! In fact, you’ll often find our tipster Will Smith providing ante-post tips in the months leading up to the major festivals which can have a lot of value. Will has had great success at festivals such as Cheltenham and Royal Ascot by providing both winning ante-post and daily betting tips.
We keep a record of all of the tips suggested by Will and a record of every tip he has published can be found on his profile page which can be found here.
This depends on the size of your betting bankroll and will be different between each person. Never bet more than you are comfortable with and can afford to lose. #begambleaware
