We have 11 runners who make their way to Naas Racecourse, hoping that they kick off the week to a good start.
PRENDS GARDE A TOI is our very first runner of the day in the opening “Bar 1 Betting NEW APP OUT NOW Beginners Chase” over the 2m 4f trip. He disappointed when pulling up the last day, but dropping back into beginners company and dropping back in trip, should see him in a good light, Jack Kennedy rides.
In the third race of the day I’M ALL IN bids to make it third time lucky in the 2m 1f Academy Hurdle. He exited at the last when running a cracker on debut and was unfortunate to exit at an early stage in Navan, fingers crossed he can make up for those errors, Jack Kennedy rides.
In the fourth race of the day the 2m 3f “Bar 1 Betting Merry Christmas Maiden Hurdle” we have 4 going to post. PUMA’S DREAM makes his second career start, he ran an encouraging race on debut and should step forward, Sam Ewing rides. NEEDS MUST returns from a break and steps up an extra couple of furlongs today, Jordan Gainford rides. AGAMEOFTWOHALVES ran very respectable on debut at Navan and should be able to build on that for his what is his second career start today, Danny Gilligan rides. OPEN SECRET has some decent form to his name having progressed from his first to his second start over hurdles and should be a big player with Jack Kennedy on board.
LINCALL takes his chance in the 2m 3f “Bar 1 Casino Maiden Hurdle”. He ran very well on his jumps debut and fingers crossed he can progress from that performance in what is possibly a weaker contest. Jack Kennedy rides.
In the sixth race of the day both FAMILY GETAWAY and OLDSCHOOL OUTLAW line up. The latter was very impressive when winning a Listed Mares Bumper at Navan, she turns her attention over jumps today, has been in great form at home and is a leading player. Jack Kennedy rides. FAMILY GETAWAY was running with credit when falling 3 out at Cork on her first start, she has had plenty of time to recover and hopefully she can make a good account of herself. Danny Gilligan rides.
In the final race of the day the 2m Bumper, we have two runners going to post. GOLDEN WINGS makes her first start for the yard. Fitted with a first time hood, she will need to switch off but is in the capable hands of Josh Williamson who claims 5lbs off her back. DUNLEER CRYSTAL ran well over hurdles on his first start, just tiring late on, he has stepped forward from that initial outing and Finn Brickley takes 7lbs off his back.
