Race In Focus - John Durkan Memorial Chase - Punchestown 2.05pm - Sunday 9th Dec

[mowgli77]

Flemenstar V Sir Des Champs Could be a preview of what to expect in the 2013 Gold Cup. I can't believe we potentially get to see a head to head like this so early in the season. These Irish stayers have to lay down a marker now after Bobs Worth showed his hand in the Hennessy. This race is over 2m4f and we still don't know Flemenstar will get 3m but breeding suggests it will and the trainer said they would go the Gold Cup route. I backed it antepost for the Champion Chase but I don't see it going for that race now. Bog Warrior, Cristal Bonus and Hidden Cyclone are still entered at this stage too along with Quito De La Roque and Rubi Light. Looks to be one to watch on Sunday over in Ireland. Can't see any prices available yet but would be interesting to see how they go with the odds on this one.
