Punchestown review: Reports, reaction and free video replays

Delta Work won the Pigsback.com Risk Of Thunder Chase at the Festival. Gordon Elliott-trained nine-year-old was formerly a top-class stayer. He won Glenfarclas Cross Country Chase in March. Delta Work is now favourite to repeat his Cheltenham win next spring. He will probably have one more run between now and Cheltonham. Paddy Power left the winner unchanged as their 15/8 favourite. Foxy Jacks came third, with 80/1 outsider John Adams back in fourth. It's completely FREE to register! If you don't have any of those accounts, it's necessary to log in.

Savills Chase reaction: Galopin Des Champs hot favourite for Cheltenham Gold Cup

Savills Chase reaction: Galopin Des Champs hot favourite for Cheltenham Gold Cup

There is plenty to ponder in this uneasy hinterland between Christmas and the New Year. What day is it? Where am I? Could these new slippers really be smelling so badly already or is it the now-putrefied wedge of cambozola emanating from the fridge? In a typical year, one could also be forgiven for weighing up who was most impressive, the King…

Facile Vega made a winning start to his chasing career in a strong renewal of the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Beginners Chase.

While the seven-year-old lost his unbeaten record at the Cheltenham Festival in March when beaten a short head by The Real Whacker, he gained some compensation in the Mildmay Novices' Chase at Aintree.

But, with Kennedy breaking his leg for a fifth time at Naas on Sunday, the Cheltenham Festival, just two months away,…

Savills Chase report and replay: Conflated impresses at Leopardstown

Winner of the Irish Gold Cup here last season, the 2/1 favourite was always travelling sweetly towards the head of affairs and was in front two out. Jack Kennedy's mount was last off the bridle and he had this won some way out, drawing five lengths clear of Kemboy (18/5). His task was made easier when favourite A Plus Tard was withdrawn at…

El Fabiolo enters Sporting Life Arkle equation with easy Fairyhouse verdict

A dominant winner on his first start for Willie Mullins at Tramore on New Year's Day, the five-year-old did not run again until pushing Nicky Henderson's Jonbon close in a Grade One novice hurdle at Aintree in the spring. On the strength of that form, he was a short price for his reappearance and first start over the larger obstacles in the Irish…
