THE kind of detailed one-on-one comparison possible for the Tingle Creek and Henry VIII was not available for the weekend’s other Grade 1, the John Durkan Memorial Punchestown Chase on Sunday, as the other two chases on the card were run at different distances.

Despite a pretty strong field, and a classy winner in Min, the likelihood is that this form is not as good as might be hoped, with 25/1-shot Hardline just two and a quarter lengths down in second.
