Coulton leads raid on Ireland

After Cheltenham and Aintree comes Punchestown and the third of the spring jumping Festivals gets underway today with six British raiders. Coulton, Nakir and Sound Reveille contest the day's richest race, the M W Handicap Chase, against a strong Irish team including Klairon Davis, Sound Man and Strong Platinum.

Kimanicky runs in the Champion Novices' Hurdle, while Richard Lee's Super Coin and the Chris Broad-trained Landed Gentry complete the party.
