Sean Naas 3.12
NAAS 3.12 - Handicap Hurdle - 2 miles 3 Furlongs - 19 run - Soft / Heavy
Here is what I wrote on Sunday....note Yabo and Blenheim Belle and NON RUNNERS but I'm more than confident to stick with my analysis otherwise with the 3 main selections and Blenheim Belle excluded
A galloping left hand track with a stiff finish and a stamina test. Some Frost about and that could deliver crusty dead Going.
AMERICAN MONEY is in the Tracker and a long term project, is due a win after some consistent runs and deserves one. POLITICISE is one we tipped over Christmas when 3rd at 66/1, will be a fraction of those Odds today but gets conditions again and hard to ignore after such a rousing effort last time.
I am loath to leave out Butty O'Brien who is up 4lbs for an all out win at Navan last time and he would be reserve should either of the two above not run. The trip is a concern for Crafty Gael and Junot and Pana To Milan is feared on Chase form but may not be quite as strong over hurdles but one of the few to merit strong consideration. Yabo NR has won fresh so the 333 days off is not a massive concern and would be the other significant danger in my mind.
A pair for some shrapnel and enhanced places at nice odds are BLENHEIM BELLE NR who is showing signs of running in to form and who should be competitive in these conditions and PAPA BARNS who drops in trip and that is a big tick, prominent runner, can go off too quick and just needs to tidy up it's jumping, but has clearly got an engine and the day it clicks with pace and jumping it could lead a field like this a very merry dance!
Tips (1) American Money / (2) Politicise / (3s) Papa Barns
