Presenting Percy could move up in grade at Punchestown


Presenting Percy could step up to Grade One company at the Punchestown Festival, according to owner Philip Reynolds.

All the pre-race Cheltenham Festival talk from connections was of how badly handicapped their charge was for the Pertemps Final but he won comfortably under Davy Russell.

Still a novice, trainer Pat Kelly could let him tackle the big boys next, according to owner Philip Reynolds.

"I would like to think he could be a Grade One horse and Noel O'Brien (Irish handicapper) seems to think he is after the mark (159) he has given him," said Reynolds.

"I hope he is right and we might have a crack at a Grade One race at Punchestown. But we will have to see how he is nearer the time.

"He has done a lot this season and we don't want to push the boat out. He is a horse to look forward to and he could make a lovely chaser next season."
