18:35 Punchestown — Race Preview & Tips

We're tipping Mordor in the 18:35 at Punchestown — a Flat race with 25 runners on Good going.

A look at the form — 1/31020-1 — reveals winning form that is hard to ignore.

Gordon Elliott has been in fine form and teams up with Unknown, a combination that demands respect.

These conditions — Good ground over — look tailor-made for the selection.

Key angle: Won last time out.

An official mark of 94 looks workable in this grade.

For each-way purposes, Bucaneers Spirit merits consideration as a place alternative.
