The Punt Acca: Matt Rennie's three horse racing tips from Ffos Las and Naas on Sunday

Three horses to include in a treble on Sunday. . .


The Kemble Brewery (12.40 Ffos Las)

This five-year-old could be a top notch novice hurdler for Kim Bailey and can defy a 7lb penalty to secure another win over hurdles. Having won two bumpers, he was third on his hurdles bow at Cheltenham last year, and had not been seen for 332 days before reappearing at Worcester last month. He made a fine comeback when denying Jurancon by three-quarters of a length, with the second boosting the form when beating a Grade 2 runner-up at Chepstow this week. The fifth has also won since and there's every chance The Kemble Brewery is a good thing.

Hercule Du Seuil (2.35 Naas)

Marine Nationale will be hard to beat if he's at his very best, but given he's returning from a long absence it's worth taking a chance that this seven-year-old can defy giving weight away to all his rivals in the Grade 3 2m chase. Trained by Willie Mullins, he is already a multiple Graded winner including when rattling off a hat-trick at this level during his novice chase campaign last year. He ended last season with some admirable efforts in defeat when fourth in the Maghull Novices' Chase and third in a Grade 1 at Punchestown. He's won when fresh before so his 192-day absence isn't a concern and can make his vast chasing experience count against Marine Nationale, who has only run twice over fences.

Ho My Lord (3.10 Naas)

Grade 1-winning hurdler Farren Glory is the one to beat, but this JP McManus-owned six-year-old has enough form in the book to land the 2m beginners' chase. While he is yet to add to his Navan maiden hurdle win under rules, he has run some notable races in defeat, including when getting within four and a half lengths of Il Etait Temps on his chasing bow. That rival has become a top-class chaser with multiple Grade 1 successes last season, while Ho My Lord looked like he was going to give Marine Nationale something to think about at Leopardstown last Christmas too. He can make a winning start for new trainer Padraig Roche.
