Curragh Race 5 - Kildare House Hotel Nursery Handicap
WHICH WOLF WINS (1) got off the mark two runs ago with a 0.5L victory over the trip at Galway. Fair seventh of twenty-one effort next time at Naas. Poised to return to winning ways back up in distance. NAZARIO (3) has found the frame in all three career starts and ought to be thereabouts once again while INVINCIBLE WILL (4) has placed in both tries tackling the journey and could be set for a big run in a first-time hood. Any moves in the market for the recently gelded JORDI BEAR (5) should be noted with first-time cheekpieces also going on.
