Florida Pearl Novice Chase 2011


1.40 Punchestown
Ladbrokes Casino Florida Pearl Novice Chase (grade 2) (Class 1)  (5YO plus)
Winner €26,000

Advice: 1 pt win Last Instalment (5/4 Ladbrokes)

Owner detailsClose Review: Winning hunter, but has since disappointed twice in handicap chases and others preferred.

Owner detailsDonnas Palm: The best of these and a very consistent sort over hurdles, winning his usual Grade 2 last season; In no way set to win when left clear at Wexford latest and faces two or three decent sorts, so interesting to see how he goes; The one to beat.

Owner detailsLast Instalment: Hugely impressive when cantering to easy win in the Gigginstown House Stud Point To Point Championship (form worked out since) and didn’t do badly over hurdles cosndiering, amiss when pulled up at Punchestown; More to give after good debut win.

Owner detailsSpot The Boss: Not shown much in 4 starts since 2 year absence.
 

Owner detailsFour Commanders: Made several bold jumps on debut when winning well at Down Royal, no surprise as he was always made for fences; Should give things a bold show from out front although Rathlin looks the owners first string.

VERDICT: Donnas Palm has a lot of potential for fences but the same can be said of LAST INSTALMENT, taken to improve from his debut success over fences when he pulled away along with another useful performer. Gigginstown House have another strong hand with the interesting Four Commanders.
