Verdict

OUTLAW PETE, a winner at Askeaton and Rathcannon earlier this year, was sent off favourite for the Ladies Perpetual at the Punchestown Festival but could only manage fourth behind Zest For Life. With JT McNamara easily the most experienced pilot on board today, Enda Bolger's young hunter can gain compensation. Six of his rivals have won their last starts between the flags but many have struggled over regulation fences including Castel Motion, an easy winner at Largy last month but previously well beaten in a maiden hunter chase here. Mister Socks has some improvement in him and was a convincing winner between the flags last month but Palmiro was gaining his maiden point-to-point victory in 17 starts at Taylorstown on Saturday.
