REECE’S LONGSHOT | Punchestown: Friday’s Each-Way Bet of the Day
An improving novice makes the cut for the each-way selection at Punchestown on Friday
El Barra – 7.05 Punchestown (11/1 Betfair + Paddy Power)
Willie Mullins has dominated the Punchestown Festival so far, and his list of winners this week could well continue with El Barra in the SalesSense International Novice Hurdle.
The seven-year-old landed his first win over obstacles on his last start, making all in comfortable fashion at Fairyhouse in a maiden hurdle at the beginning of the month.
This is a much tougher task for the gelding, but he could have more to offer in novice company.
With a planned switch to chasing next season, this could be the final start over hurdles for Mullins’ prospect and he looks the better value here compared to stablemate M C Muldoon (10/3).
At a price of 11/1, El Barra could prove to be a worthy each-way selection in this contest at Punchestown.
