FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Both Gordon Elliott contenders, Run Wild Fred and Larquebuse, are previous Punchestown winners, albeit over hurdles. A nice run from only mare in the line-up, Larquebuse, won’t surprise. The point-to-point winner should come on from her debut over racecourse fences at Naas on November 21st, seeing as that was her first outing in 251 days. Her jumping wasn’t without flaw then, and going that bit slower at this trip better is expected now. The stamina test could bring about improvement when it comes to many of them. With his 134 rating SCHOOL BOY HOURS is just a little behind the aforementioned Run Wild Fred (136). School Boy Hours finished ahead of Run Wild Fred here on October 28th. Bred in Taghmon County Wexford by the O’Keeffes, and a half-brother to the talented but ill-fated Finian’s Oscar, School Boy Hours can do even better at this trip.
