A competitive field lines up for the Woodlands 100 Club Leinster National Handicap Chase [Grade B] at Naas.
Bryan Cooper chooses Nickname Exit from Gordon Elliott's Gigginstown-owned pair, having won on him over hurdles at Navan latest, while Goonyella and the potentially unexposed novice Venitien De Mai give Jim Dreaper a strong hand.
The latter looks a potentially useful staying chaser and could go well off a light weight.
The action doesn't end there, however, and the classy Rule The World will be aiming to shed his long standing maiden tag over fences in the Grade Three Naas Directors Plate Novice Chase, although fellow Gigginstown inmate Tell Us More is less exposed and looked all set to score in Grade Two company at Navan latest before capsizing at the second last and could be the one to be on.
Racing gets underway at 2.10 with the Listed Irish Racing Writers Kingsfurze Novice Hurdle and none of the quintet can be dismissed with confidence.
Burgas readily landed a Thurles maiden last month and gets Bryan Cooper's vote, but Gurteen looked useful when easily landing a Navan maiden hurdle in January and should not be discounted.
Call It Magic may well be suited by the step up to three miles in the Panoramic Restaurant At Naas Maiden Hurdle and appears to hold an outstanding chance with Ruby Walsh on board, although A Genie In Abottle obliged in a bumper here last month and should be monitored in the betting.
Wes Hardin and Indian File re-oppose in the Hospitality At Naas Racecourse Beginners Chase having finished third and fouth respectively in a similar contest here last month and both are respected along with Katnap.
Course and distance winner Fairly Legal is expected to go well now sent handicapping in the Naas Supporters Handicap Hurdle, while Good Thyne Tara has obvious claims in the concluding Tipper Road Mares [Pro/Am] INH Flat Race.
