Naas Race 5 - Cheltenham Trials Day At Naas Racecourse (Pro/Am) Flat Race
TODO BIEN (4) is a four-year-old Walk In The Park gelding on debut for Gordon Elliott. Half-brother to four winners and looks poised to provide a bright start to his career. APACHE PEAK (1) placed behind a subsequent winner on Limerick racecourse debut. Again made the frame contesting a course and distance jumpers flat last month. Brings plenty of appeal to hold form. COOLE CAFE (5) recorded a 2.25L academy hurdle win first-up at Navan. Was too keen when seventh behind the just mentioned in latest. Merits consideration adopting first-time hood. Newcomer ONE TO WITNESS (2) is a stablemate of the main selection and warrants a market check.

Having third race start. Was promising at first race start finished second of 14 starters at Fairyhouse on November 4 over 3419m, 5 len behind Minella Yoga with 70kg at $8. Went for a spell before returning finished second of 9 starters at this track on January 9 over 3218m, on slow going 9 len behind Quiryn with 71kg at $11. Can improve on first up performance. Strips fitter and is again a top chance.

Four-year-old gelding by Sholokhov out of Witness Express has taken a long time to make it to the track. Having his first start today. Watch the market closely as he hails from the in-form Gordon Elliott yard.

Four-year-old gelding who is first race starter by Siyouni out of Taqaareed. Doesn't profile as the likely winner.

Four-year-old gelding (Walk In The Park - Que Pasa) making his debut. Not seen on the track yet so hard to assess. Keep very safe.

Third race start today. At debut, won by 2.25 len Navan on December 6 over 3419m defeating Kilbarry Lizzy with 66.5kg at $34 in a hurdle. Second-up finished seventh of 9 starters at this track on January 9 over 3218m, slow track; 28 len behind Quiryn with 71kg at $7. Impossible to rule out.
