Each day oddschecker pick out the top three Market Movers for horse racing in the UK and Ireland, with a focus today on Day 1 of the Punchestown Festival.
How does it work?
The oddschecker Market Movers page allows you to see the horses which have shortened or lengthened the most in the markets since they opened. Steamers are selections that have been well backed and shortened, while drifters have done the opposite.
Each day we look at the races in UK and Ireland to pick out the top three steamers, or selections with the biggest positive Average Market Swing* at the time of writing.
Market Movers for Punchestown Day 1
1. Glan - 16:50 Punchestown - 13/2 to 4/1 (5/1 Best Odds)
Our first market mover is GLAN who runs in the 16:50, the Killashee Hotel Handicap Hurdle (Grade B). A winner at 4-1 in a hurdle race at Fairyhouse over 2m (good - yielding) on her latest outing earlier this month, beating La Prima Donna by 1/2l. Glan, who was just denied by Gua Du Large in a valuable handicap at Fairyhouse earlier this season, is obviously a big player again despite a 7lb rise for her recent win.

2. Rocco Ray - 18:00 Punchestown - 7/2 to 3/1 (10/3 Best Odds)
Next up we have ROCCO RAY who runs in the Goffs Land Rover Bumper. Half-brother to Rashaan, won nine times over hurdles between 2m and 3m, three times over the flat at 1m 6f and 2m 1f, in a chase at 2m 2f and in an all-weather flat race at 2m including a Group 1 race. Willie Mullins has dominated bumpers this season so Rocco Ray, closely related to the smart Rashaan is certainly one to consider.
3. Energumene - 17:25 Punchestown - 4/5 to 8/13 (8/11 Best Odds)
Our last market mover is ENERGUMENE who runs in the William Hill Champion Chase (Grade 1). A winner at 5-2 in a Grade 1 chase in the Group 1 Betway Queen Mother Champion Chase at Cheltenham over 2m (soft) on his latest outing last month, beating Funambule Sivola by 9l. He has taken 69.70% of all bets through the oddschecker.
Fancy the treble?
Today’s Market Movers combine for a best treble price of 43/1 through oddschecker. Meanwhile, the worst odds on the treble are 31/1.
