Lucky 15 Tips: Sunday Graces at Punchestown

There are two race meetings down for decision in Britain and Ireland on Sunday, with cards at Lingfield and Punchestown. 

We've picked out a Lucky 15 offering from four races at Punchestown with a pair of Graded races to savour. 

12:55 Punchestown - Down Memory Lane @ 5/2

Down Memory Lane was thrown in at the deep end in Grade 1 company at Sandown last time over two miles and can bounce back over an extra half-mile now dropped in class for this Grade 3. 

He found things happening all too quickly in that top-level race behind superb novice L'Eau Du Sud, and his jumping in the first half of the contest wasn't up to scratch as a consequence. 

He warmed up to the task, though, and going a stride or two slower can enable Down Memory Lane to justify the promise of his impressive chasing debut success over smart stablemate King Of Kingsfield. 

He remains a top prospect and can serve it up to early favourite Lecky Watson.

13:55 Punchestown - Nine Graces @ 5/2

Barry Connell’s horses have hit a bit of form lately and Nine Graces can keep up the good work in the amateur riders’ handicap under the accomplished Finian Maguire. 

A useful hurdler, Nine Graces is rated 8lb lower over fences and produced comfortably her best chase performance yet when keeping on into second over 2m4f at Fairyhouse last month behind La Malmason, who is rated 12lb higher now after running well again over Christmas. 

Nine Graces scored over this 2m6f trip twice over hurdles and should relish an extra two furlongs. She should have more to offer over fences.

14:25 Punchestown - Salvator Mundi @ 8/11

Willie Mullins often runs his best novice hurdler in the Moscow Flyer and Salvator Mundi looks poised to take this Grade 2. 

Salvator Mundi has been a stable talking horse for some time, giving Sir Gino a race in France before joining Mullins. He ran as well as could have been expected when sixth in the Triumph on his yard debut. 

Admittedly it is a slight concern we haven’t seen him since his wide-margin victory in a weak race in May, but he is prominent in Cheltenham Festival ante-post lists and can prove why in a sub-par running.

15:25 Punchestown - Londonofficecallin @ 9/2

Londonofficecallin clearly wasn’t right when finishing tailed-off as a well-backed favourite at Navan in November and can bounce back after two months off in the 2m4f handicap hurdle. 

He was previously in good nick in the autumn, producing back-to-back career bests when scoring twice on the Flat, including on his stable debut for Cromwell at Thurles. 

Cromwell is a top operator and the improvement this horse showed on the Flat can be translated to hurdles if he’s back firing.
