There were a few winners from the horses featured last night. Iktitaf got his hurdling campaign off to a winning start in the listed contest at Punchestown but Leading Run was made to work harder to maintain his 100% record on the same card.
Galactic Star kept the flat list to follow ticking over although he made quite hard work of things at Nottingham. He was staying on at the finish though and should get further.
More impressive was Metaphoric who won on his debut in the Motivator colours. He came from first to last under an educational hands and heels ride from Jamie Spencer. Could make a decent 3 year old over middle distances next season.
The beat action tomorrow is at Punchestown, where all eyes will be on Gold Cup winner War of Attrition who makes his seasonal bow in the 4.15.
In the 2.45 Female will be expected to make a winning hurdles debut in the 2.45. This mare had some smart bumper form last season.
See you tomorrow.
