Southwell and Naas

There is also racing today on the all-weather at Southwell and over jumps in Naas (Ireland). Barney Curley has been very expensive to follow in recent months, but has two irons in the fire at Southwell - Cabuchon in the 1 1/2 mile maiden at 15.05 and Aviso in the mile claimer half an hour later. Both these well-bred ex-Schlenderhan runners, partnered today by Tom Queally, have been mainly disappointing in their runs in the U.K. but both are capable enough on their day. There are always doubts about runners from this stable, so our best bet here is Dubai Hills (Bryan Smart/ A Carter), who won ín a canter over this CD last time and can defy a 10 lbs rise in the weights in the 7 furlongs handicap at 14.00.

Betting forecast:
1. Race: Valantino Oyster - Zed Candy - Elite Land
2. Race: Dubai Hills - This Ones For Eddy - The Lock Master
3. Race: Bilko Pak - Honkers Bonkers - Miss Moneypenni
4. Race: Palawi - Eshtyaaq - Truly Magnificent
5. Race: Ours - Hard Rock City - Lakeman
6. Race: Cape Of Storms - Prince James - Boy The Bell
7. Race: Gold Story - Itsthursdayalready - Norcroft




Willie Mullins and Paul Townend have had an extremely successful week and they can continue their winning run at Naas with with Cadspeed in the novice chase at 13.55, who can make the most of the weight he receives from Dermot Weld´s Prince Erik (Davy Condon), and Bishopsfurze in the main event, Grade Two novice hurdle at 14.25, where stable companion Gagewell Flyer (Emmet Mullins) could be the most dangerous opponent. Weld himself can go one better with Rainforest Magic (DT Evans) in the maiden hurdle at 15.30.

Betting forecast:
1. Race: White Star Line - Popmurphy - Lean Times
2. Race: Cadspeed - Prince Erik - Uncle Tom Cobley
3. Race: Bishopsfurze - Pineau De Re - Si C`Etait Vrai
4. Race: Dr Whizz - Bideford Legend - Darling Harbour
5. Race: Rainforest Magic - Quarton - Tinas Exhibition
6. Race: Lucky Spring - Its All Hush Hush - Tawrific Laois
7. Race: Tusa Eire - Willie John - Sweeney Tunes
