Elliot and Swan are always a formidable combination at any time and they bring a horse is due to step up now with recent racing to benefit racing condition. The odds appeal as takeable.

Rank outside and on paper is entitled to be but won at Wexford first-up in yielding footing and provided the rain stays away should get conditions to suit again. Failed second-up but given time of to strengthen and caught fresh again here might surprise.

Seamus Neville has Bridwell Lad in this with a very strong rider in J J Slevin aboard and on a course as roomy as this one I think he could make a bold showing at best.

Rachel Blackmore on board here and that will count for a lot on a horse that is ultra consistent and certainly deserving of success. 5-1-3 in the wet and that augurs well for chances for a minor upset.

Yes, it's hard to see them being the very talented favourite here but every dog/horse has its day and accidents sometimes unfortunately happen in races and if the favourite was to misjudge one here then this is just the sort of horse to capitalise. Still learning the ropes compared to many here but with Blackmore in the pigskin won't want for help in that regard.

Shuttle Diplomacy is the sort of horse to take this out at a course like Punchestown. Good trainer and rider who is always capable of lifting them a little at the finish if required.

Lecky Watson is a useful type who has the master trainer Wille Mullins in the corner and D Mullins in the saddle - good enough for me.

Good combination of trainer and jockey and that can never be underrated even if the horse faces a tough ask here. Wouldn't be in here unless they considered him capable of giving a good account.

Zulu Mike for the major upset this time out for the Rothwell-O'Sullivan trainer-jockey combination. Much to like about that imrpoving third last time out and with that run under the belt might surprise a few here.

Black Bamboo has the services of the talented D J Gilligan today and that could make a real difference to a horse on this track as Gilligan has a better strike rate than msot here and that should count for a lot on a course as tricky as this one.
Confidential Gosip

@SP
Lose
-50
Confidential Gosip (who no second P in gossip I wonder) was a solid enough fourth on debut and made a good fist of things for a long while before he mistimed a fence and that took the stuffing out of him late in the piece. Will be well-educated since and could test this field with a seven pound claimer up. This stable is always to be respected.

Tactical Affair is racing well enough to be a threat in this type of ground in an open looking affair. Just needs a bit of luck in the running to capitlise.
11:00 Gangwon FC v Pohang Steelers
Pohang Steelers #4-1
50 WIN
@76.00
Lose
-50
Outsized odds here I know, but The Steelers aren't that too far off this team in ability at their best and if they made this a running game then they might surprise the favourites big time here.
11:00 Incheon Utd v Jeonbuk Motors
Incheon Utd #1-0
50 WIN
@9.50
Lose
-50
Incheon to beat the raiders and talented ones at that on their best day, but I think the home crowd might hype them up enough to scrape home with a single unanswered goal here.
11:00 Jeju United v Gwangju FC
Gwangju FC #1-0
50 WIN
@8.00
Lose
-50
Gwangju to send the home side packing this time of asking I reckon but Gwangju has the skills upfront to capitalsie on any hometown errors because of the pressure Jeju might be feeling here that might crate opportunities for an upset.
10:00 Central Coast Mariners v Adelaide United
Adelaide United #1-0
50 WIN
@23.00
Lose
-50
Adelaide United to spoil the partry at home for the Central Coast Mariners, who have, along with The Phoenix from NZ been playing gangbusters recently. A lot rests on this match as far as championship honours goes and Adelaide might be just the type of side to gift the Kiwis the win, even though it would in essence be denying an Australian club the league cup .
08:30 Changchun Yatai v Shenzhen Xinpengcheng
Changchun Yatai #1-0
50 WIN
@9.00
Lose
-50
Changchun Yatai to take this out at home but only by a slender margin of one goal I'm thinking as this is a very willing side they take on here.

Beijing Guoan #1-0
50 WIN
@8.00
Win

Bejing Guoan have the firepower and werewithal to disappoint the home fans when they visit Tianjein Tigers home ground for this match. The bookmakers have them even money favourites and I think they'll get home against a game side but they might not ant to take too many risks and might resort to more defensive play if they get one in the back of the net - which is all it takes at this level.
11:30 Daejeon Hana Citizen v Gimcheon Sangmu FC
Daejeon Hana Citizen #3-2
50 WIN
@36.00
Lose
-50
Daejeong are at home to Gimcheon here and they are a side that is capable of taking this out. I'm expecting a very comeittice, free flowing game with plenty of goals and for this reason the home side by an unusual margin 3-2 makes appeal at the generous odds.
11:30 Suwon FC v FC Seoul
Draw #2-2
50 WIN
@13.00
Lose

I have a feeling this match between Suwon at home and the visitors Seoul will be a tight match with lots of cut and thrust and a 2-2 draw result looks a likely result for me.

Shandong Taishan #2-0

Shandong Taishan are going well and have the strike power up front to keep the home fans happy with a win here. I'm thinking two unanswered goals should do the trick.

18:30 FK Austria Vienna v SCR Altach
FK Austria Vienna #3-1
FK Austria to have a resounding victory over a tea, that is struggling in the relagtion ivision at present with just five wins from 28 appearances so far this season. They mneed nsomething special here but are unlikely to get it away from home against this side, so 3-1 for the home side for me.
16:00 FC Inter v EIF
FC Inter #5-1
50 WIN
@41.00
Lose
-50
FC Inter top the table with a fine 27-5-1 record from their 33 games this season while their rivals should struggle to match their skills in every department, given their previous record. Anything can happen in football but if Inter play up to their best form I can see this ending badly for Eif.
12:00 Shenzhen Xinpengcheng v Qingdao Hainiu
Draw #1-1
Both teams have the abilitiy to win this but there might be a cancelling out of their attacking and defensive capabilities here and the facvourites at home might have to settle for a draw.
11:00 Qingdao West Coast v Nantong Zhiyun
Qingdao West Coast #3-1
West Coast are playing well enough at home to get home here against a good rival and I see the competitive nature of bnoth sides resulting in a four goal game, favouring the homesiders 3-1.
10:45 Brisbane Roar v Adelaide United
Adelaide United #2-1
Adelaide United are omn a bit of a roll with a hattrick of recetn wins and the Roar, even at home, have failry similar win stats but their defence has been lacking this season and Adelaide could exploit it.

Wild Hunt doesn't have much in the way of form and should probably be at better odds than 16-1 but he's won at this trip in similar ground too and being a son of Dubawi should get through the ground better than most.
16:00 Al Feiha v Al Taee
Al Feiha #3-1
50 WIN
@17.00
Lose
-50
Al Feiha have good strikers and their positional play is usually very sound. Defenisvely I think their rivals might be found wanting and with the home advantage I expect Al Feiha to come out blazing. So 3-1 for me.
14:45 UTA Arad v Otelul Galati
Draw #1-1
50 WIN
@6.00
Lose
-50
These two teams are both capable of winning at their best but I suspect they might cancel each other out in a tight game defensively and that's why I think this could be a draw at a goal apiece. a

This horse is underated and could take this out at decent odds given that he's only really run one poor race and that was in soft ground, which obviously didn't suit. Back on firmer conditions I'm expecting a decent improvement.

@4.00

Wolverhampton are considered very slim favourites over their rivals and that's probably down to the supposed home advantage but the bookies are more confident that both teams will score, offering just 1.53 for that. I'll go for the BTTS and Wolves to take this out then.
Draw #2-2
50 WIN
@12.00
Lose
-50
Both teams will be hungry here and that could lead to mistakes if they both play attacking football and allow gaps for counter attacks and I think that could lead to four goals here. Let's say 2-apiece for argument;s sake and a 12.00 result.

Lord Zeke looks like the big improver here as a good few of these are coming off long lay offs and may need the run. He's had an eight week freshen-up and this track should suit him better than Turfway park where he failed last time out. Has the pace to trouble this lot.

Thomas Dowson has a great record ovetr the bigger fences and is a very underrated rider in my humble opinion. Kirby can train chasers too and also has a fine touch with them. Together on a horse who has shown pace on the flat at NH level on debut and has had two runs back to steel for this, I see the upset on the cards here if he can put his education over the bigger fences together on race day.
