16:30 Punchestown - 1 May 2021 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

POPONG was in the process of showing improved form on handicap bow when departing at the last at Leopardstown on Boxing Day, sure to have been right in the mix had she completed. She should make a bold bid to make amends if seeing out this longer trip. The lightly-raced Sam Brown won a Grade 2 as a novice and is of interest on handicap debut, while Fag An Bealach was a good winner at Downpatrick.

  1. POPONG (IRE)
  2. SAM BROWN
  3. FAG AN BEALACH (IRE)
