Inside Track's NAP, NB and TREBLE for Sunday 24th November 2024
NAP
Below The Radar has a promising profile, having secured second place in two point-to-point races, including a bumper, and maintaining a perfect 3-3 record under rules. The horse's last victory came in a small-field 2m4f novice event on heavy ground at this venue in March. With pedigree suggesting stamina, today's extended 2m7f trip should pose no issues for this unexposed handicap debutant. Trained by the reputable Paul Nicholls, Below The Radar's course success and flawless record under rules make it a noteworthy contender for the race at Uttoxeter.
NB
Feet Of A Dancer secured her fourth hurdle victory in a conditions race at Wexford in May and showed a solid performance upon returning in a Listed mares' event over 2m7f at Limerick. Her competition included Riviere D'Etel and Champella, yet she stood out. The drop back to 2m2f for this Punchestown race is expected to suit her better, enhancing her chances of success. Her consistent form and capability to handle competitive fields position her as a strong candidate to go close in this race.
TREBLE
Stumptown, a proficient handicap chaser, has demonstrated a strong affinity for the banks at Punchestown, as evidenced during the festival. Despite being hindered by a loose horse in the La Touche, Stumptown quickly rebounded by defeating stablemate Fameaftertheglory over 3m just two days later. Known for resilience and adaptability, particularly over banks, Stumptown's course and distance win (CD) make him a formidable contender in this Punchestown race.
