2.00 Market Rasen

Dreamcatching NAP 5/6 Hills
Paul Nicholls sends this 4yo up to Market Rasen and looks to have found a nice opening. On paper it looks a two horse race with The Blue Bomber being the danger but he has had plenty of chances and the selection is much preferred. Young Stan Sheppard rides and take a handy 5lbs off and will be very hard to beat.

Naas Preview

I like the Bolger newcomer Moltoir in the first who might be more forward than his rivals. In the 2.55 I think An Saighduir could outrun his odds off 93 after running well in a British sprint handicap off 98 at the end of last season which are usually stronger races than what we have over here. He was poor on his reappearance but traveled with plenty of zest before weakening at the finish to be well beaten. Declan McDonagh was easy on him at the end though and given he came on a ton for the run last year maybe at 10 years of age he needs the outing to put him straight so I'll take a chance on that at big prices. Finally in the 4.40 handicap Bold Thady Quill ran well on his last start staying on when poorly placed so up in trip off 4lbs lower I reckon he's well set to run a big race at 14/1 and Condon usually has them fit first time up.
