The Punchestown Guinness Gold Cup odds for this week's big feature at the 2009 Punchestown Festival has Imperial Commander and Notre Pere vying for favouritism. They are both quoted at 7/2, with Bet365 with 2006 Cheltenham Gold Cup winner, War Of Attrition next best at around 5/1.
The race as usual has attracted a top quality field, Imperial Commander, who is trained by Nigel Twiston-Davies, was the game winner of the Ryanair Chase at the recent Cheltenham Festival where he held off the classy, Voy Por Ustedes for a famous victory. That trip however was over 2miles 5F and this trip is on softer ground and over 3 miles 1F, and question marks have to be placed on his ability to stay this type of testing trip. Particularly as he appeared not to make in the King George Chase at Kempton Park on Boxing Day
There are no such worries about Notre Pere however, who won the Welsh National last December.

Anther who comes in for some consideration is the Jonjo O'Neill trained, Albertas Run, who has performed well on occasions this season, he has Tony McCoy on board and a big run can be expected.
We like the look of War Of Attrition however, he was taken out of the Cheltenham Festival and the Grand National in favour of a tilt at this and with odds of 5/1 with VC Bet we think he is great value.
7/2 Imperial Commander, Notre Pere, 5/1 War Of Attrition, 10/1 Albertas Run, Roll Along, 12/1 Air Force One, 14/1 Schindlers Hunt, 16/1 Scotsirish, Snowy Morning, 20/1 Bar.
