Colin Tizzards stable stars Cue Card and Thistlecrack are reported to be firmly on target for next weeks Punchestown Festival. The former, winner of Aintrees Betfred Bowl in brilliant style, faces a rematch with Timico Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Don Cossack in Wednesdays Grade One Bibby Financial Services Ireland Punchestown Gold Cup. Cue Card was alongside the eventual winner when falling three out at Prestbury Park and Joe Tizzard, assistant trainer to his father, said: Cue Card has come out of the Aintree race really well and he was so fresh the following day that I couldnt be happier with him. Hes not had a hard second half to the season and he seems in as good a shape as he has been all season. He was also in lovely form the day after the Cheltenham Gold Cup and bounced out of that race and schooled nicely before Aintree. He was in as good as form as he had been all season then and while I didnt think he would be as impressive as he was in Liverpool, he sure ran a massive race. I think he would have won the Gold Cup.Im more than happy with the horse and hes never shied away from anything. The Bibby Financial Services Ireland Punchestown Gold Cup could be a serious race and take nothing away from Don Cossack and Vautour, who have both stood up to everything. Well find out who the best is at Punchestown.Im having a lot of fun with (Don Cossacks trainer) Gordon Elliott at the moment and its good for racing and may the best horse win.Thistlecrack followed up his brilliant Ryanair World Hurdle victory at Cheltenham with a facile success at Aintree and he contests Thursdays Grade One Ladbrokes Champion Stayers Hurdle at Punchestown.Tizzard added: Thistlecrack seems to improve every time that we run him. Hes come out of Aintree lovely and weve still not got to the bottom of him - we dont know just how good he is. He seems a step ahead of them over hurdles at the moment.Punchestown is a good meeting with serious prize money and this year it fits in well after Aintree with three weeks between them. Every year weve started to bring more and better horses over and weve kind of saved our best horses like Thistlecrack to do the three - Cheltenham, Aintree and then Punchestown.
