Aintree and Naas

Our first runners of the afternoon come on home soil in Naas in Div II of the maiden hurdle where we have JAZZ DE COTE who has been in good form and going well at home. He will be ridden by Jordan Gainford.

Next up is CREADAN GRACE and MAHLERS BEST in the mares maiden hurdle. Both of these fillies look like they might be better suited to handicaps so they gain more valuable experience here with Jody on Creadan Grace and Jake Coen claiming off Mahlers best.

For the Rated Novices Hurdle we have CASHELDALE LAD. The ground was too soft the last day so he should prefer conditions here with Jordan Gainford booked to ride.

Rounding up the show in Naas is BUTCHERS BILL in the 0-100 handicap hurdle. He has improved with his latest runs and is ridden by James Smith claiming 5lbs.

Over in Aintree our first runner is CROKE PARK in the Grade 1 Manifesto Novices Chase. This horse has taken very well to chasing and is a dual Grade 1 winner. This is a drop back in trip so could be on the short side and Sam Ewing rides.

WENDROCK takes a step up in class for the Grade 1 juvenile hurdle. This will be a big ask of him but hopefully he goes well under Sam.

In the feature race of the day we have WODHOOH who takes the next big step in her career. This is the biggest ask to date and has it all to do against some battle hardened competitors, Danny Gilligan rides.

Our final runner of the day is WILLITGOAHEAD in the Foxhunters. This horse ran a cracker in Cheltenham and looks well poised to go well here under the same rider, James Scallon.
