It’s the final day of racing ahead of the Cheltenham Festival and we head to Naas with 3 runners.
In the opener, the maiden hurdle, we run DOCTOR ELVIS. He ran a great race on hurdling debut to finish 4th behind stablemate Straight John and should appreciate the step up in trip here today. Jack Kennedy rides.
In the Grade 3 Kingsfurze Novice Hurdle LAZARE DE STAR is now a non runner.
Our final runner of the day is BALLYBOW in the Leinster National. Sat near the bottom of the weights, he sports blinkers again today as he makes the move into handicap company for the first time. He’ll need to brush up on his jumping from the last day but Josh Williamson takes the ride and claims 5lb.
