Naas Race 3 - Irish Stallion Farms Ebf Academy Hurdle
RITZ PLAN (14) placed second on debut over 3721m at Punchestown finishing behind a subsequent Listed winner. Well-fancied nine-days-ago when fourth at Navan. Top chance racing third-up. I'M ALL IN (1) comes with risks attached after unseating his rider both careers starts. Trainer and jockey combination in form and better is expected. Interesting. ANN BULKLEY (8) delivered a creditable fourth of fourteen effort trailing the main selection on racecourse debut at Punchestown. Open to plenty of improvement. Contender. O'GRADY CRACKER (4) is a Way To Paris gelding from Miss Nomer. This half-brother to five winners might feature.

Had two starts to date. When well supported at debut, didn't finish the race at Cork on November 23 over 3520m. Second-up didn't finish the race at Navan on December 6 over 3419m. Promising galloper. Expect he will prove hard to beat.

Having third race start. When unwanted in the market at debut, finished 12th of 15 starters at Cork on October 12 over 3520m, 50 len behind Quinta Do Lago with 70kg at $151. Second-up finished ninth of 12 starters at Cork on November 23 over 3520m, 60 len behind Minella Academy with 66.5kg at $251. Might find this a bit tough.

Resuming after a break; at only start last campaign finished ninth of 15 runners at Cork on October 12 over 3520m, 37 len behind Quinta Do Lago carrying 70kg at $81. Would have to improve sharply to feature in the finish.

Three-year-old gelding who is first race starter by Way To Paris out of Miss Nomer. Tough to line up and betting is likely to provide the best guide.

Had two starts to date. When unwanted in the market at debut, finished ninth of 14 starters at Fairyhouse on November 4 over 3419m, 96 len behind Minella Yoga with 70kg at $51. Second-up finished seventh of 10 runners at Navan on December 6 over 3419m, 35 len behind Coole Cafe with 70kg at $201. Looks tested again in this line-up.

Was at long odds at debut, didn't finish the race at Fairyhouse on November 4 over 3419m. Look for improvement today. In the mix if she is anywhere near right.

Jumped at very long odds at debut, finished eighth of 12 starters at Cork on November 23 over 3520m, 42 len behind Minella Academy carrying 64.5kg at $67. Better for the experience but others have better credentials.

First race starter by Hunting Horn out of Isle Of Ailsa. Makes her debut here in what looks a tricky race for her. Will be better for the outing and tempted to give her this.

At debut, finished sixth of 14 runners at Punchestown on November 13 over 3721m, on rain affected going; 32 len behind Highland Crystal carrying 66kg at $21. Expecting improvement on first up run. Will be better for that run and is one of the main chances.

Raced two times to date. When well supported at debut, finished second of 14 runners at Punchestown on November 13 over 3721m, in the wet; 14 len behind Highland Crystal with 67.5kg at $5. Second-up finished fourth of 10 runners at Navan on December 6 over 3419m, 9 len behind Coole Cafe with 66.5kg at $2.20. Rates well. Ideally placed to break the ice.
