On a weekend with more than its share of stars, Punchestown pitches in tomorrow with a few of its own in the Irish Field Novice Chase.

His Song, Promalee and Amberleigh House clash in the two and a half mile contest, as good a novice clash as we have seen so far this season, and it's His Song that looks the likely winner.

Mouse Morris' giant five-year-old may have been slightly lucky to win his first chase at Tipperary but there was no luck involved at this course nine days ago as His Song jumped superbly to beat the experienced Ollimar and Greenflag Princess by 11 lengths and upwards.

Tony McCoy was impressed but said a longer distance would be even more ideal and so His Song has been upped half a mile. It should bring His Song even further into his element.

Promalee could not have won any easier at Listowel last month and with Richard Dunwoody up, he will be a tough opponent. A strict reading of the formbook gives Amberleigh House no chance with His Song but Michael Hourigan's charge has since won at Gowran and will strip fitter tomorrow. Both horses are more than decent but so far His Song has hinted that over fences he might just be a bit special.

Another horse that won particularly easily at Listowel was Noel Meade's Kings Banquet who bids to follow up in the opening novices hurdle. Meade has a particularly strong bunch of young horses and Kings Banquet is ranked pretty high among them, especially over further than two miles. The circumstances look all right for him here. Richard Dunwoody should be on the mark with Call Bob in the Narraghmore Handicap Chase. Tom Nagle's horse absolutely bolted in at Gowran Park last time out with Dunwoody looking over his shoulder for dangers almost immediately after Call Bob had touched down from the last fence. There is no knowing how much the horse had in hand that day and there appears little point in opposing him here.

The form of An Tain Shioc's win here last time out has been boosted considerably since and with Timmy Murphy on board he holds a clear chance in the Copelands Handicap Chase while Banjala may be up to winning a less than inspiring maiden hurdle.

Gan Saru's overall form gives him a decent chance in the handicap hurdle.
