Collonges On Course For Punchestown

Neptune Collonges is set to bid for back-to-back victories in the Punchestown Guinness Gold Cup on April 23.

The grey lifted the 275,000 euro Grade One contest over three miles and one furlong last spring.

And he showed he was in good form when finishing a staying-on third behind his stablemates Denman and Kauto Star in the Cheltenham Gold Cup last month.

"It´s all systems go. He´s in there and that is where he is going to run next," trainer Paul Nicholls told At The Races.
