Naas Race 1 - Royal Ascot Trials At Naas Rated Race
Bobby McGee (7) chases a hat-trick after a narrow win over 1609m at Naas last start and a prior Gowran Park success, and looks suited again. SHAFTESBURY AVENUE (5) brings solid mile form, 3rd of 23 at the Curragh over 1609m before breaking through at Navan. ACCREDITED (1) impressed when winning at Naas over 1408m first-up and stays at a track he handles. LATIN AMERICA (2) is a last-start Navan winner over 2048m and drops back in trip. VICTORY TIP (6) beat Shaftesbury Avenue at the Curragh over 1609m but failed to figure in a Group 3 since; back to a mile helps. PORT FERDINAND (3) won his Naas debut over 1408m and wasn’t far away at Cork. NEW RADICAL (4) scored at Bellewstown and has a prior mile placing at Dundalk.
