Punchestown Racing Festival 2022 Day 2 Preview | Wednesday Betting Tips with Andy Holding and Johnny Ward

George Elek is joined by Andy Holding and Johnny Ward to preview day two of the Punchestown Festival. Following on from the three Grade 1 races on the opening day, Wednesday sees another three Grade 1s in the eight race card.

The first of those takes place at 17:20 with the Irish Mirror Novice Hurdle. An open looking contest with The Nice Guy the current 2/1 favourite, closely followed by both Minella Cocooner and Minella Crooner. Rachel Blackmore rides Journey With Me who'll be looking to banish the memory of that fall in the Ballymore at Cheltenham.

Next up at 17:55 is one of the week's most eye catching races, the Ladbrokes Punchestown Gold Cup. Allaho heads the market at 15/8 whilst Minella Indo, Clan Des Obeaux and Galvin all look to hold strong chances also. Andy likes the look of the current price on Clan Des Obeaux with the favourite being on the short side.

The final Grade 1 on day three is the Punchestown National Hunt Flat Race. Facile Vega and American Mike go head-to-head once more after that battle in the Champion Bumper with the former coming out on top in March. The panel like the look of him once more should the ground go in his favour.
