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.

What the jockeys said after the Group One $3 million Caulfield Cup:Nick Hall (Jameka) 1st : Ive got to really thank Ciaron Maher and the stable. Hes done an exceptional job ... hes such a great trainer of campaign horses. The way hes prepped this run by run, and hes won it.Kerrin McEvoy (Scottish) 2nd : He sort of jumped up in the air which had me on the backfoot, then he raced really keenly through the first couple of furlongs. I got into a nice rhythm outside the front two then slipped forward. Hes done a remarkable job to hold on and run as well as he did.Damien Oliver (Exospheric) 3rd : I was able to get into a nice moving position coming to the turn, I was only a couple of lengths off Jameka and thought I was a real chance. But when she kicked with the pull in the weights, she just kicked too strong but I thought it was an excellent run.Michael Walker (Almoonqith) 4th : Probably should have run second. Got held up at a crucial point of the race but other than the winner, its probably a Melbourne Cup trial.Craig Williams (Real Love) 5th : She jumped really well today and I was stuck wide so I had to go forward. I got cover from the wind when I needed to but being that bit closer, it probably cost her acceleration when they got around the turn, but she ran on really nice.Dwayne Dunn (Our Ivanhowe) 6th : He ran well. I didnt begin that well and we got pushed back along the rail but he went like a two-miler, and if we get a wet track, were back in business.Colm ODonoghue (Sir Isaac Newton) 7th : He ran a good race. Hes used to a strong tempo. He just needs to learn to relax and control that speed but hes run a good race considering he pulled so hard.Patrick MMoloney (Vengeur Masque) 8th : It was a terrific run.dddddddddddd. I had to sort of snag him from the gate but got across and he travelled really well for me in the run but I just got held up at a crucial stage on the back of our Ivanhowe. If he gets out earlier, he probably runs top five ... hes a nice stayer of the future.Ben Thompson (De Little Engine) 9th : He was brilliant. He really ran up to his Turnbull (Stakes) start. Once he got clear air, I had a really good run from the 400 and his last furlong was super. Hes on track for a race like the Lexus (Stakes) and hes ticking along beautifully.Blake Spriggs (Sir John Hawkwood) 10th : Im extremely proud of him, he did a good job. I was following the right horses. I got a bit of a squeeze on the first turn which just got him over-racing a little bit but I was very proud.Hugh Bowman (Preferment) 11th : Had to do a bit too much work in the run.Brenton Avdulla (Tally) 12th : Probably just over-did it early. I was able to get across and get a good spot but probably didnt have the horse underneath me.Zac Purton(Articus) 13th : He worked himself up in front of the big crowd pre-race and he was just a bit keen.Ben Allen (Pemberley) 14th : We were a bit further back than we wanted to be, we wanted to be midfield but he just jumped away too slow.Tommy Berry (Sacred Master) 15th : Copped a lot of trouble past the winning post the first time, it got him pulling a little bit and they went too slow for us.Katelyn Mallyon (Go Dreaming) 16th :He went really well. The race didnt really suit him. ' ' '
