We have some top National Hunt stars returning at Punchestown on Sunday, while I will be in Mallow for a tricky card in Rebel County.

The John Durkan certainly lives up to its history and reputation. Galopin Des Champs should be back in the winning grove, and one wonders what odds Davy Hyland might offer in the sky.

A true one off, he was a bookmaker from another era. May he rest in peace.

I have one selection at Cork on Sunday, and one at Punchestown. Enjoy both meetings live on Racing TV.

1.10 Cork: Housemartin

This six-year-old provided Josh Williamson with his first winner at Clonmel, though it was hard to believe it was given how the teenager rode the horse.

"The horse had shown a little bit but went off last year and when he ended up, he wouldn't beat me. We did a few changes though and he looks well now," said Edward O'Grady afterwards.

He absolutely ran away from his rivals then, and it is very hard to make a case for anything else in this.

1.55 Punchestown: Imagine

Finished: 5thSP: 7/2

There's a shade of Mighty Potter about the same connections' Imagine, who looks to have far more upside than these rivals, although Lucid Dreams has to be feared on form.

Imagine jumped brilliantly at Fairyhouse and if he can confirm the notion here that he's a good bit better for chasing, he should prevail.
