Two of the rising stars of the British training ranks, Kerry Lee and Ben Pauling, are bidding to saddle their first Punchestown Festival winners next week. Lee, whose father Richard enjoyed success at the Punchestown Festival as a trainer, will saddle Top Gamble - a Grade 2 Fairyhouse winner last time out - in Tuesdays Grade 1 BoyleSports Champion Chase.Top Gamble has come out of Fairyhouse very well - hes bouncing and is in great form at home, said Kerry Lee. You always hope that they will improve, although youre never confident, and he has certainly earned a place to have a crack at the BoyleSports Champion Chase after a brilliant performance at Fairyhouse. Richard Johnson holds him in high regard and as long as the ground is on the easy side, hes going there in fine form.Kylemore Lough gave Lee a first Grade 1 victory in the Ryanair Gold Cup at Fairyhouse on March 27 and hes set to bid for another race backed by the same sponsor - the Grade 1 Ryanair Novice Chase at Punchestown next Thursday, April 28.Kylemore Lough has done really well, winning five chases this season and hes been very impressive. When he started off in October, I had a lot of hope for him but you can never be too keen at that time of year. But saying that, hes a horse Ive always thought a lot of, added Lee.Hes been in very good form - he really handled the journey over and the race in Ireland well and has come out of it very well. I couldnt be happier with him and hes very similar to Top Gamble regarding ground requirements.Barters Hill was unbeaten in his seven previous starts before finishing fourth in the Albert Bartlett Novices Hurdle at Cheltenham and he has been kept back by trainer Ben Pauling for the Punchestown Festival.The six-year-old is entered in both the 2m 4f Grade 1 Tattersalls Ireland Novice Hurdle next Friday, April 29, and the 3m Grade 1 Irish Daily Mirror Novice Hurdle on Wednesday, April 27.I havent decided which race hell run in yet and it will depend on the ground. Im quite tempted to go for the shorter race but well see, said Pauling.I didnt know if Barters Hill would run again after Cheltenham but hes in such good form I thought we probably would go to Punchestown.It was never the idea to go to Aintree after Cheltenham as unfortunately he wasnt spot on at Cheltenham. It was well publicised that he wasnt quite right three days before Cheltenham and he came back a bit stiff so he did well to run as well as he did. I definitely think hes a bit better than the fourth at Cheltenham.It looks like hes come back to his best and I couldnt be happier with him. Hell do a couple of pieces of work and a schooling session before Punchestown and hell only go if hes absolutely spot on as Im not going to risk him.

TAMPA, Fla. -- The NHL schedule provides opportunities for quick revenge sometimes, and nine days after the Tampa Bay Lightning handed the New York Islanders a 6-1 loss on their home ice, the two teams square off again at Amalie Arena on Thursday.The Islanders (5-6-2) ended a three-game losing streak with a 4-2 win Monday against Vancouver -- the Canucks ninth straight loss -- while the Lightning hope to bounce back from a 3-1 loss at Florida on Tuesday that left them with a 7-5-1 record.Tampa Bay eliminated the Islanders in five games in last years conference semifinals, averaging 3.6 goals per game and winning four straight after losing Game 1. Their offense was on display in last weeks rematch, with left wing Nikita Kucherov scoring two goals with two assists as the Lightning tagged goalies Jaroslav Halak and Thomas Greiss for three goals each.Special teams has been a big part of the Lightnings early success -- Tampa Bay ranks fifth in the NHL on power play, with a 25 percent (13/52) success rate, and theyre seventh in the league on penalty kill, holding opponents scoreless 88 percent of the time.Our penalty kill has been pretty good the last couple of years. When you keep that cohesive unit, its usually pretty beneficial, Lightning coach Jon Cooper said. The other thing is we have good goaltending, which is always your best penalty kill.Goalie Ben Bishop is just 5-4 to start the season, with a 2.90 goals-against average up considerably from last yearrs 2.dddddddddddd.06, which made him a Vezina Trophy finalist.Weve really needed our special teams -- its bailed us out of several games, especially when weve fallen behind, Cooper said.The Islanders havent been as fortunate on their special teams -- they rank 26th in power play, with just four goals in 37 opportunities (10.8 percent) and rank 25th on the penalty kill, stopping just 77 percent of their opponents power plays.Mondays win against Vancouver saw the long-awaited first goals for two new arrivals in left wings Andrew Ladd and Jason Chimera, who had totaled just four assists in the Islanders first 12 games, but both found the back of the net against the Canucks.Tampa will be a good test for us. Its nice to get on the road, spend some time with your teammates & build team chemistry, said Chimera, now 37 and in his 15th NHL season.The Lightning hope to get promising forward Jonathan Drouin back soon from an upper-body injury that has now sidelined him the last three games. Their power play hasnt skipped a beat without him, but the offense as a whole could use a boost -- Kucherov is tied for fifth in the league with 15 points -- four goals and 11 assists, while center Steven Stamkos is just behind with 14 points, including seven goals. Center John Tavares leads the Islanders with 11 points on five goals and six assists. ' ' '
