I cannot believe Punchestowns is even money.
Henderson has more or less said in the Post all they are doing is continuing his education over fences, this is his second of a preferred three prep runs for the festival, and they are most concerned about erasing memories of his below par run in the RSA.
This could be much more up Neptune Collonges' street than his last two runs. He was brought down early in the Hennessy, and in another big field handicap he was slow to start and never really got going. He should be a lot fitter now after such a long time off track, and should be on the premises.
Third Intention surely has a big chance for the Tizzard's in the first at Cheltenham. Won on its debut over hurdles beating Titan De Sardi (since finished 2nd to a smart looking Nicholls horse) and Empire Levant who won the other day.
