UPDATED 11:10AM, APR 30 2021 Staying races have a habit of throwing up wide-margin winners, but Klassical Dream looked a man among boys at Punchestown when, barely turning a hair, he sauntered to success in the Ladbrokes Champion Stayers Hurdle. If that was not impressive enough for you, the 2019 Supreme Novices Hurdle winner was posting one of the classiest championship race-winning performances Punchestown has seen off the back of an 18-month hiatus, making the extraordinary look ordinary. However, when you have Willie Mullins in your corner you have a chance, and the connections of Klassical Dream were rewarded in spades for keeping the faith with a horse who had not raced since the Christmas of 2019. ....

The 30-year-old’s return comes at the perfect time as he is coming under increasing pressure from Cheltenham Gold Cup and Grand National winner Rachael Blackmore in the race to be Ireland’s leading jockey this season. ....

Hurdlers and chasers aged between three and five are currently given different allowances in the two countries depending on age, time and race distance, which can vary between 5lb and 7lb, but the Anglo-Irish jumps scale is to be introduced from May 1 in Britain and three days later in Ireland. This will not affect the Punchestown Festival, which runs from April 27 to May 1. Irish horses will be most impacted by the changes, with five-year-old hurdlers no longer benefiting from weight-for-age allowances, and a general decrease on the amount permitted per month across all distances. ....
