The Punchestown 5 Day Festival gets underway at 15.45 pm this afternoon when the Irish racegoers will have the added attraction of seeing Master Minded (pictured) running in the Kerrygold Champion Chase at 18.05 pm this evening. He is a very warm order to win this race for owner Clive Smith, trainer Paul Nicholls and jockey Ruby Walsh. Ruby Walsh will be on two other well fancied horses for Willie Mullins in Cooldine and Hurricane Fly. Cooldine was impressive at Cheltenham and he runs over the 3 miles 1 furlong Boylesports.com Champion Novice Chase. This race was won last year by Air Force One who runs tomorrow in the Punchestown Guiness Gold Cup. Hurricane Fly never made the trip to Cheltenham due to injury but is expected to win the Evening Herald Champion Novice Hurdle this afternoon.
