13:50 – Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden
Race Details: 5f | | Going: GOOD TO YIELDING, Yielding in places | | flat
This is a typically deep Naas fillies’ maiden and, for all the obvious strength among the Ballydoyle and Twomey newcomers, it may not be quite as simple as siding blindly with the unraced brigade. Luca Brillante sets the standard on what she has already achieved, arriving here off back-to-back seconds and with a lofty 90 rating that makes her the one they all have to beat. Blooming Sally also brings solid racecourse evidence after chasing one home on debut, while Pirate Anne Bonny and Be In Love are the market newcomers to note. Over 5f on this ground, experience and professionalism can count for plenty, and that gives this race a clearer shape than a 21-runner maiden usually has.
Top Selections
1. Luca Brillante – 5/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Chris Hayes | Trainer: D K Weld | Form: 6722 | Rating: 90 | Topspeed: 88
She is hardly a hidden one, but there is substance to her claims. Luca Brillante has already shown a useful level of ability in four runs and those two recent seconds leave her with the standout body of form in the race. A mark of 90 and topspeed of 88 are the best figures on offer here, and in a big-field juvenile maiden that sort of established standard is often gold dust. Weld’s filly looks sharp enough for 5f, has the draw to get involved early, and this doesn’t look the day to get clever opposing her at 5/2 with Bet365. She sets the benchmark and is the percentage call.
Bet: WIN
2. Blooming Sally – 5/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Andrew Slattery | Trainer: Andrew Slattery | Form: 2 | Rating: 78 | Topspeed: 28
Blooming Sally appeals as the each-way play because she has already proved she can handle the occasion and she shaped with plenty of promise when runner-up on debut. In a race packed with expensive guesswork, that counts for a lot. Her opening mark of 78 suggests the run had depth to it, and there is every chance she comes on for that first experience. She is not as flashy on paper as some of the big-yard newcomers, but she strikes me as the type who will be in the right place when others are still learning. At 5/1 with Bet365, she makes plenty of each-way sense.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Luca Brillante is the solid win bet because she brings the strongest, most reliable form into the race. For an each-way punt, Blooming Sally looks the sensible alternative given her debut second and scope to improve. The obvious dangers are the unexposed Be In Love and Pirate Anne Bonny, with Ophelia another newcomer worth respecting if the market speaks strongly.

14:22 – Irish Stallion Farms EBF (C & G) Maiden
Race Details: 5f | | Going: GOOD TO YIELDING, Yielding in places | | flat
This looks a fairly informative 2yo maiden for Naas standards, though the market says plenty about it already. Salt Lake sets the bar after finishing second on debut and bringing a hefty 99 rating into the race, which makes him the obvious one they all have to knock off. Behind him, Aidan O’Brien runs both Bold Commander and Bengal Tiger, and that pair give the race some depth, while Our Boy Bailey has the raw ability to feature despite a slightly mixed three-run profile. Over this sharp 5f on ground with a bit of ease, tactical speed and professionalism matter plenty, especially with several newcomers in the line-up. It is not impossible to find one at a price for the places, but the win side of the puzzle does not look especially complicated.
Top Selections
1. Salt Lake – 8/13 with Bet365
Jockey: Donagh O’Connor | Trainer: Robson De Aguiar | Form: 2 | Rating: 99 | Topspeed: 76
He is hard to oppose on what we’ve seen. That debut second already towers over most of these on the figures, and a 99 rating in this company is a serious marker for a colt still learning his job. The Topspeed figure of 76 also tells you he has already run to a useful level for a maiden, and in a race where several rivals are either exposed as ordinary or relying on potential alone, that matters. Drawn in stall 2, he should be able to hold a handy pitch and make his experience count. At 8/13 he is no giveaway, but he still looks the percentage call. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Bengal Tiger – 13/2 with Paddy Power
Jockey: Jack Cleary | Trainer: A P O’Brien | Form: 0 | Rating: 72 | Topspeed: 69
He is the each-way angle in a race dominated by a short-priced favourite. Bengal Tiger was only midfield on debut, but that bare 0 does not tell the whole story and his 72 rating is enough to suggest there was something to work with. The Topspeed figure of 69 is not far off the more established contenders, and it would be no surprise at all if an Aidan O’Brien juvenile took a decent step forward second time out. From stall 1 he should get a neat tow into the race, and at 13/2 he makes more appeal for place purposes than some of the similarly priced exposed ones. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Keep it straightforward: Salt Lake is the win bet and looks the most solid piece of form in the race by some margin. For an each-way punt, Bengal Tiger appeals as the one most likely to improve sharply from debut. The obvious dangers are stablemate Bold Commander, who has more experience, and Our Boy Bailey, whose best form gives him a say if bouncing back.

14:52 – Goffs Two Million Series Maiden
Race Details: 5f | | Going: GOOD TO YIELDING, Yielding in places | | flat
This doesn’t look the deepest maiden on paper and New Bond Street sets a clear standard. His sequence of placed efforts has come with a lofty 99 rating and a topspeed figure of 87, which towers over most of these. The interesting angle is whether anything less exposed can jump past him, with debutante Alloutoflove and the more battle-hardened Abletai the obvious alternatives. Abletai has at least shown a fair level already and Colin Keane taking over catches the eye, while Cyclone Code has hinted at ability without screaming winner. In truth, this looks more straightforward than fiendish: if New Bond Street handles these conditions and runs to his mark, the rest may be playing for places.
Top Selections
1. New Bond Street – 4/7 with Bet365
Jockey: W J Lee | Trainer: P Twomey | Form: 5333 | Rating: 99 | Topspeed: 87
He’s had four goes without getting his head in front, but the bare numbers say he is comfortably the one they all have to beat. A mark of 99 in this company is a major edge, and he has been knocking on the door with three consecutive thirds. P Twomey’s juveniles rarely waste opportunities in races of this nature and W J Lee is the ideal man to keep things uncomplicated over a sharp 5f. At 4/7 he is no hidden gem, but sometimes the obvious answer is the right one and he looks very hard to oppose if reproducing his established level. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Abletai – 9/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Colin Keane | Trainer: M C Grassick | Form: 8266 | Rating: 88 | Topspeed: 81
Abletai is hardly bombproof, but there is enough substance to his form to make him the sensible each-way play in an eight-runner field. His rating of 88 leaves him with something to find with the favourite, yet it still puts him ahead of most of these, and that topspeed figure of 81 suggests he has the pace for this minimum trip. The booking of Colin Keane is an obvious positive and hints that a bold show is expected. Available at 9/2, he appeals as the runner most likely to chase home the favourite, and if one of the market leaders underperforms, he’s the one who could capitalise. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Keep it simple here. New Bond Street is the win bet because his form and rating give him a clear edge in what looks an ordinary enough maiden. For those wanting a bit more insurance, Abletai makes the most appeal each-way with solid enough figures and Colin Keane booked. The main danger is the unexposed Alloutoflove, who could know her job first time.

15:22 – Colm White Bookmakers Nursery Handicap
Race Details: 5f | | Going: GOOD TO YIELDING, Yielding in places | | flat
This is the sort of 2yo nursery that looks straightforward at first glance and then gets messy the longer you stare at it. Annie Batt and Summer Sent You set the standard on what they’ve achieved so far, with the former arriving off a solid second and the latter bringing the best rating and Topspeed figure into the race. Docks is the lurking improver now handicapping off just 51 despite three quiet runs, while Ballymackney is another with enough raw ability to get involved from a low weight. Over this sharp 5f at Naas, pace and track position will matter plenty, especially with 14 juveniles charging around on easing ground. It’s not a deep race in quality, but it is a tricky little puzzle and one where the market should be respected without being followed blindly.
Top Selections
1. Summer Sent You – 10/3 with Bet365
Jockey: W J Lee | Trainer: K J Condon | Form: 0053 | Rating: 73 | Topspeed: 69
Summer Sent You makes plenty of appeal in a race where few arrive with compelling recent form. That latest third was a step in the right direction and, crucially, this filly now drops into nursery company with the highest mark in the field but also the best Topspeed figure to back it up. A rating of 73 sets the bar, and K J Condon’s juveniles are often capable of finding a bit more once getting into handicaps. Draw 12 is not ideal, but W J Lee is the right man to navigate that, and 10/3 looks fair rather than skinny in a race lacking depth. She holds the strongest claims if building on that latest effort. Bet type: straightforward win play.
Bet: WIN
2. Docks – 13/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Chris Hayes | Trainer: Paul W Flynn | Form: 900 | Rating: 51 | Topspeed: 25
Docks is exactly the type I want on side each-way in a nursery like this. The bare form is uninspiring, but that is often the point with these sprint handicaps for juveniles: three educational runs, a basement mark of 51, and now the betting starts to speak a little louder. Chris Hayes is a positive booking and stall 14 could even be no bad thing if he breaks sharply and stays out of trouble. He doesn’t need to be a world-beater to outrun this price, because plenty of these have already shown their hand. At 13/2 with four places on offer, he looks one of the more interesting handicap debutants and a perfectly sensible each-way punt.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Summer Sent You is the win bet because she has the strongest profile, the best figures and the look of a filly ready to make her mark in nurseries. Docks is the each-way alternative, with his opening mark giving him obvious scope to improve past exposed rivals. Annie Batt is the main danger, while Ballymackney could also outrun his price if the handicap switch sparks him up.

15:52 – Irish Stallion Farms EBF Claiming Maiden
Race Details: 1m | | Going: GOOD TO YIELDING, Yielding in places | | flat
This doesn’t look a deep maiden on paper and the market has every right to revolve around Nando Royale and Santerno, who bring the two standout ratings into the race. Nando Royale has already shown enough in stronger company to make plenty of appeal in a claiming event, while Santerno’s mark and Topspeed figure suggest he’s the one most likely to make him work. Behind them, Ferronniere shaped with some promise on debut and looks the sort who could nick a place if building on that effort. A few of the others have either shown very little so far or need a sizeable leap forward, so this feels more about which of the principals handles the conditions and sees out the mile best. Tricky enough for place players, but the win angle looks fairly clear.
Top Selections
1. Nando Royale – 7/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Reese Holohan | Trainer: Gavin Cromwell | Form: 630 | Rating: 86 | Topspeed: 65
The bare form figures don’t scream certainty, but an 86 rating in this sort of race is a major asset and it makes him the obvious one to beat. His earlier efforts were respectable enough before a below-par latest run, and this is a much more realistic opening. The drop into claiming company could easily be the key move, especially with just 122 on his back. Cromwell is not placing him here for the scenery and, if he runs to anything like his rating, the rest may be playing for minor money. At 7/4 he isn’t exactly hidden, but he still looks the solid play. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Ferronniere – 15/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Seamie Heffernan | Trainer: Denis Gerard Hogan | Form: 4 | Rating: 67 | Topspeed:
Ferronniere makes more each-way appeal than most of these because she at least arrives with a bit of untapped potential after a promising debut fourth. That initial run suggested there was enough ability there to be competitive in an ordinary race, and this certainly qualifies. Hogan’s filly doesn’t need to find masses to get into the frame, and the step to a mile on this ground could bring out a little more improvement. She lacks the obvious class edge of the favourite, but 15/2 is fair in a field where several rivals have already had their chance. She looks the value place play. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Nando Royale is the straight win bet because his rating gives him a clear edge if bouncing back at all in this weaker grade. Ferronniere is the each-way option at the bigger price, with her debut fourth offering more encouragement than most in the line-up. Santerno is the obvious danger and probably the one most likely to punish any weakness in the favourite.

16:25 – Care At Home Nursery Handicap
Race Details: 1m | | Going: GOOD TO YIELDING, Yielding in places | | flat
This looks a proper nursery rather than a weak numbers job, with a few of these arriving with workable marks and one or two open to a fair bit more now tackling a mile. Elyatta sets the standard on recent form after a solid second and is the obvious one, but nurseries at Naas are rarely handed away and there are dangers lurking at bigger prices. Old Joanie has the best published topspeed in the field and shaped as though this sort of test would suit, while Rathbran Lady is interesting from stall 1 off a light weight if building on her latest effort. The wide draws for Elyatta and Thelymitra are not ideal, so tactical positioning could matter. Tricky enough, but not impossible to unpick.
Top Selections
1. Elyatta – 5/2 with Bet365
Jockey: W J Lee | Trainer: Noel Meade | Form: 08942 | Rating: 75 | Topspeed: 71
Elyatta is the percentage call. That latest second was a clear step forward and it came off a mark that still leaves room for another nudge forward now she goes again in a race lacking many solid, progressive profiles. A rating of 75 is the highest in the field and, crucially, she has the recent form to justify it rather than just living on reputation. The draw in 11 is no gift over this mile, so W J Lee will need to be sharp early, but if she gets into a sensible rhythm she is the one they all have to beat. At 5/2, she is short enough, but still hard to oppose.
Bet: WIN
2. Old Joanie – 5/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Rory Mulligan | Trainer: James M Barrett | Form: 7853 | Rating: 74 | Topspeed: 74
Old Joanie makes plenty of each-way appeal in a race where several are still trying to prove they truly stay and handle a battle. Her latest third suggested she is getting the hang of things at the right time, and that topspeed figure of 74 is not something to ignore in this company. Drawn in 7, she should have fewer excuses than some of the market principals, and this mark of 74 gives her every chance if she can build on that last run. She is available at 5/1, which looks fair rather than flashy, but in a 14-runner nursery with four places on offer she appeals as the solid each-way punt.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Elyatta is the win play because she brings the strongest recent form and sets the standard on both rating and substance. Old Joanie is the each-way alternative, with a good draw and figures that suggest she will be in the mix again. The main danger at a price is Rathbran Lady, who is low drawn and lightly weighted, while Highest Order is one to note if Colin Keane can overcome stall 13.

16:56 – Irish EBF Auction Series Maiden
Race Details: 7f | | Going: GOOD TO YIELDING, Yielding in places | | flat
This looks a decent 2yo maiden for the grade rather than a throwaway late-card puzzle, with several bringing solid placed form and a few interesting newcomers lurking underneath the obvious ones. Star Glory sets the standard on ratings and on what he has already shown, while Capital Of Pride has done little wrong in two starts and appeals as the type who should keep progressing. Diamonds And Dames and Dawnmore also have form that gives them a say, and Rosiliane shaped well enough on debut to suggest she could step forward. In a field of 16 over 7f at Naas, track position and professionalism matter, but this still feels like a race likely decided by proven ability rather than a complete surprise.
Top Selections
1. Star Glory – 2/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Colin Keane | Trainer: Noel Meade | Form: 6252 | Rating: 96 | Topspeed: 73
Star Glory is the solid one in here and, in truth, he’s getting hard to crab. He has the best rating in the field, he arrives off a runner-up effort, and that sequence of 6252 tells you he has been learning his job properly rather than flattering to deceive in one run. Colin Keane taking over only strengthens the case, and from stall 7 he should get a fair shot at things. At 2/1 he is no secret, but this is the runner with the clearest body of form and he sets a proper standard for the rest to aim at. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Rosiliane – 12/1 with Paddy Power
Jockey: Rory Cleary | Trainer: Kevin Thomas Coleman | Form: 4 | Rating: 82 | Topspeed: 82
Rosiliane makes plenty of each-way appeal after a promising debut fourth, especially as that Topspeed figure of 82 is the best in the field. That immediately catches the eye in a maiden like this because it suggests there was a fair engine there first time out, even if greenness may have stopped her finishing closer. She is drawn wide in 15, which is not ideal, but if she breaks on terms and gets a bit of cover she has the raw ability to outrun her price. At 12/1 with three places on offer, she looks the value alternative to the obvious principals. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Star Glory is the straightforward win play because he brings the strongest and most reliable form to the table. For an each-way punt, Rosiliane looks overpriced on debut evidence and her Topspeed mark gives her a live chance of hitting the frame at least. Capital Of Pride is the main danger, while Dawnmore and Diamonds And Dames are not easily dismissed in a race with a bit of depth.

17:32 – Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden
Race Details: 7f | | Going: GOOD TO YIELDING, Yielding in places | | flat
This looks a typically informative Naas juvenile maiden, and the market has latched on to the obvious powerhouses. Aidan O’Brien runs King Cador and Vienna Waltz, Donnacha O’Brien saddles Miss Hong Kong, while G M Lyons relies on Soldat with Colin Keane booked, so there is no shortage of well-connected newcomers. That said, plenty of these arrive with no public form to work with, which makes it more of a guessing game than the prices on the front of the market suggest. Over 7f at Naas on this sort of ground, professionalism and the ability to see it out properly usually matter plenty. The favourite deserves respect, but this is not a race screaming certainty and there may be a bit of value away from the shortest one.
Top Selections
1. King Cador – 3/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Ronan Whelan | Trainer: A P O’Brien | Form: | Rating: | Topspeed:
It is hard to get away from King Cador in a race where the strongest signals come from the yards and the market rather than anything already shown on the track. Aidan O’Brien rarely wastes bullets in races like this at Naas, and a 7f maiden on easing ground should suit the type he often introduces with plenty of intent. The draw in stall 2 is no bad thing if he breaks on terms, and 3/1 looks fair rather than cramped in a field full of unknown quantities. He is the percentage call in a race where class and education could easily trump experience. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Sinanli – 12/1 with Paddy Power
Jockey: Ben Coen | Trainer: J P Murtagh | Form: | Rating: | Topspeed:
If you want something at a more workable price, Sinanli makes plenty of appeal as the each-way play. J P Murtagh knows what is required to ready one for a race like this, and Ben Coen is a notable booking in a maiden where riding confidence will matter. Stall 5 gives him options, and at 12/1 he does not need to be a world-beater to make the frame in a 13-runner contest with three places on offer. There are sexier names in the line-up, but this one strikes me as the sort who could travel well, handle the ground and outrun market expectation first time up. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
King Cador is the solid win play in a race dominated by powerful stables and guesswork. For a bit more value, Sinanli is the each-way punt at double-figure odds in a field where not all of the fancied runners will know their job. Miss Hong Kong, Vienna Waltz and Soldat look the main dangers if arriving fully tuned up.
