2.30 Naas: Adrienne
Adrienne can be forgiven a poor effort last time out where her jumping let her down and should be better judged on her previous start when finishing second to the very useful Narciso Has.
She was a decent type on the Flat and has taken well to hurdling, a discipline in which she has not reached the ceiling of her ability yet.
There is nothing of the calibre of Narciso Has in this race and she looks likely to go well.
2.40 Hereford: Ballymoreen
The booking of Harry Cobden for this horse on her hurdling debut catches the eye. She won a Bumper at Wexford before being sold and shaped with some promise on her hurdling debut for this yard at Warwick.
She will have learnt plenty from that effort and should be capable of a lot more in a modest contest with her yard in much better form now.
3.30 Naas: Melbourne Shamrock
Melbourne Shamrock races in a handicap for the first time off a mark of 121 which could underestimate his ability.
He has shown an aptitude for hurdling on his last three starts and the addition of a pair of cheekpieces should add some further focus now that he takes on some more experienced rivals.
He holds a couple of entries at the Cheltenham Festival and, whilst he may not be ready for that sort of test, he should be able to go close here off a potentially lenient mark.
5.00 Naas: Goraibhmaithagat
This horse looks to be building towards a winning performance after shaping encouragingly last time out. That was his best effort for a long time and, as a consequence, his mark has slipped to 125.
That latest run was only his fourth start over fences and he is open to plenty of improvement over this two and a half mile trip, and over even further in time. He can make the most of a generous mark here.
