Naas Race 4 - Lawlor's Of Naas Novice Hurdle (Grade 1)
Feature race on the card. JASMIN DE VAUX (2) won the G1 Champion Bumper (jumpers flat race) at Cheltenham Festival (UK) last year. Produced a winning hurdle debut scoring by 4.25L attempting a 3200m Navan maiden hurdle a month ago. Consider. THE YELLOW CLAY (7) bids for a hurdle four-timer following a neck success tackling the 4000m G2 Navan Novice Hurdle. Big chance. BUTCH CASSIDY (1) represents leading connections. Remains unbeaten following a 0.5L victory contesting a 3800m maiden hurdle at Punchestown. Makes for appeal. Course maiden hurdle winner SHUFFLE THE DECK (4) looks interesting.

On a three run winning streak. Comes off a 29 day let-up. Last outing favourite; won by a neck Navan in a G2 Navan Novice Hurdle on December 7 over 4023m slow going defeating Fleur In The Park with 72.5kg at $1.40 in a jumps. Run before to post a big 10 len win. Navan in a G3 Monksfield Novice Hurdle on November 17 over 4023m defeating Where's My Jet carrying 70kg at $1.70 in a jumps. It would be brave to go against him.
