State Man y Irish Point listos para enfrentarse nuevamente en el Punchestown Champion Hurdle con Ballyburn también asignado a la carrera de viernes de Grado 1

Willie Mullins-trained State Man is aiming for his tenth Grade 1 success. The horse has won five top-level hurdle races since finishing second at last year’s Cheltenham Festival. He won last year’s €300,000 race from Vauban by three lengths. Irish Point, a dual scorer in the highest grade, is hoping for a better performance than his previous second-place finish in the Champion Hurdle in March.

He will be attempting to improve his record to six wins from seven starts and capture a third big race. Gordon Elliott and Jack Kennedy will be guiding him. Racing Post has a platform offering the best deals, all in one place.
