Naas Race 5 - Bar 1 Casino Maiden Hurdle
LINCALL (8) improved on a last of eighteen debut display in a Punchestown jumpers flat to record a creditable fifth on reappearance tackling the trip at Clonmel. Sharper now and a big run is anticipated second-up with in-form Jack Kennedy booked to ride. BLAZING DUKE (1) finished fifth under Sean Flanagan making stable and jumps debut at Gowran Park last month. Climbs in distance. Main danger. SHELLRUNFORBRIGGS (16) was unpopular in the betting delivering three unplaced career outings. Latest sixth of sixteen effort was a step in the right direction. Each-way hope. EMPIRE WALK (3) attempts further and might feature.

Resumes from a spell after having raced just once last campaign finished 16th of 19 runners at Gowran Park on October 3 over 3319m, slow track; 133 len behind Dschingis Dragon with 70kg at $251. When resuming last campaign didn't finish the race at Clonmel on March 27 over 3218m. Needs more time. This looks tough and others preferred.

Third-up today. First-up finished seventh of 12 starters at Wexford on October 26 over 4023m, 30 len behind Gin Tonic with 69.5kg at $21. Second run from a spell finished fifth of 16 starters at Thurles on November 20 over 3218m, 20 len behind Mullaghgloss carrying 69.5kg at $67. Fitter now and making headway every start. Tough to stop on his best form.

Second-up finished 14th of 18 starters at Clonmel on December 2 over 3922m, in the wet; 47 len behind Parnell Street with 68.5kg at $251. Others make greater appeal.
