Naas Race 3 - Cavan Developments Supporting Kill Gaa Maiden Hurdle
JALON D'OUDAIRIES (5) is a dual jumpers flat winner with a G1 placing. Managed to place on hurdle starts at Cork and Leopardstown with the Gordon Elliott-trained gelding only beaten 0.5L last time. Improvement expected. Major player. POETISA (9) finished well clear of third when runner-up making Punchestown hurdling debut. Leading contender providing second start. IT'S BOBSLED TIME (12) landed a shock 2.25L win at huge odds tackling an academy hurdle at the course in December with Michael Kenneally aboard. Shortlist. HEALYS PUB (4) makes plenty of appeal after a creditable fifth of twenty-five effort on reappearance here. Key threat.

Five-year-old gelding by Poet's Word out of Swap Shop has taken a long time to make it to the track. Having his first start today. Purchased for EUR € 30,000 (Goffs - IRE 2024 Arkle Sale Part 1). Will be better for the outing and tempted to give him this.

Third-up today. First-up finished tenth of 19 starters at Cork on December 7 over 3419m, 63 len behind Lord Rouge carrying 75.5kg at $67. Second run from a spell finished 12th of 18 runners at Thurles on January 29 over 3218m, on a wet track; 29 len behind El Cairos carrying 71.5kg at $126. Looks to be making up the numbers in this field.

Raced twice to date. At very big odds at debut, finished tenth of 18 starters at Fairyhouse on January 1 over 4023m, 36 len behind Spinningayarn carrying 72kg at $101. Last start finished eighth of 18 runners at Thurles on January 29 over 3218m, on heavy track; 24 len behind El Cairos with 71.5kg at $151. Will be tested. Hard to recommend on current form.

Having second run back today. First-up after nearly two years finished third of 10 starters at Thurles on January 29 over 4526m, on heavy track; 18 len behind Blow Wind Blow with 72kg at $34. Previously second-up finished fifth in a small field at Limerick on April 19 2024 over 3822m, 140 len behind Ballygunner Castle carrying 73kg at $19. Needs to go up a level.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. Resuming finished 15th of 18 starters at Limerick on December 27 over 4023m, on heavy track; 77 len behind Changeyourstars carrying 71.5kg at $67. Second run from a spell finished eighth of 17 starters at Clonmel on January 8 over 3419m, in the wet; 50 len behind Radiator Springs with 71.5kg at $126. Not going well enough. Others rate much better.

Useful type. Last start didn't finish the race at Fairyhouse on January 14 over 3218m. Start before won by 2.25 len this track on December 15 over 3419m defeating Ritz Plan with 66.5kg at $251 in a hurdle. Gets a chance to win. Looks very hard to beat.

Four-year-old gelding who is first race starter by Order Of St George out of Vic Chic. Making race debut here. Tough assignment at his first outing so tempted to favour others.
