Naas Race 3 - Racing Post Novice Chase (Grade 2)

The G1 hurdle winning INTHEPOCKET (3) showed plenty of potential after a year off finding success by 15L in a 3200m beginners chase during October at Wexford. Top selection now climbing back up the grades. FIREFOX (1) is another noted performer who placed three times tackling the top level at the major Festivals last year. Made a winning chase debut at Down Royal prior to a good third at Fairyhouse in the 4000m G1 Drinmore Novice Chase. Big chance. ILE ATLANTIQUE (2) holds every chance following a chase debut success by 9L over 4200m at Navan. Consider. KILBARRY SAINT (4) rates next best.
