Punchestown day 5 full race card and tips - list of runners on Friday
It's the clash of the week at Punchestown this evening as superstars Constitution Hill and State Man collide in the Boodles Champion Hurdle.
It's a fascinating clash and one that should attract a massive crowd to the Co Kildare venue.
State Man had the Champion Hurdle at his mercy when coming down at the last back in March after Constitution Hill fell earlier in the race.
Golden Ace picked up the pieces and powered up the Cheltenham hill to win for trainer Jeremy Scott and jockey Lorcan Williams, with the mare taking her chance again at Punchestown. Kargese, Break My Soul and Bottler'secret complete the line-up.
There are eight races in total once again, the first of which takes place at 3.40, with the feature contest scheduled to start at 6.40.
