14:00 Punchestown - 5 December 2021 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

Willie Mullins saddles 7 in what could turn out to be a vintage John Durkan. ALLAHO's devastating Ryanair win is the best piece of form on offer and with fitness seriously unlikely to be an issue, he looks the value play. Envoi Allen's limit hasn't been reached and he has race fitness on his side, as does Fakir D'oudairies.
