Naas Race 6 - William Hill Racing Bet Builder Chase (Grade 3)
BLOOD DESTINY (2) failed to complete over 3419m at Fairyhouse last time. He is a fair performer and if able to leave that run behind could feature. CAPTAIN GUINNESS (3) will be looking to bounce back after finishing sixth in the G1 Paddy's Reward Club Chase over 3419m at Leopardstown. Holds ability to take this out. TOUCH ME NOT (1) arrives off a solid third over 3419m at Fairyhouse thirty nine days ago then picked up a minor placing attempting a Listed contest at the same venue. Anticipated to be a force once again. PATH D'OROUX (5) was found wanting when tenth tackling 3419m at Fairyhouse. Tough race once more. Place claims.

Racing well. Comes off a 39 day let-up. Last start finished third of 12 starters at Fairyhouse in the G3 DAN & JOAN MOORE MEMORIAL STEEPLECHASE on January 14 over 3419m, 13 len behind Western Diego with 72.5kg at $4.50. Before that finished second of 12 runners at Fairyhouse in the LR on November 29 over 3419m, 2.5 len behind Drumgill with 73kg at $6. Continues to make headway. Worth including here if repeats the run.

Second-up today. Freshened for 39 days. First-up after four months pulled up at Fairyhouse in the G3 DAN & JOAN MOORE MEMORIAL STEEPLECHASE on January 14 over 3419m. Previously second-up finished second of 7 starters at Killarney in the G3 An Riocht Chase on May 12 over 4123m, 2 len behind Hercule Du Seuil carrying 72.5kg at $3. Forgive first-up failure. Capable and among the better hopes.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. Resuming pulled up at Navan in the G2 Fortria Chase on November 17 over 3218m. Last start finished sixth of 7 runners at Leopardstown in the G1 Paddy's Reward Club Chase on December 27 over 3419m, 45 len behind Solness carrying 75.5kg at $41. Can hit back hard here. Finds a nice race and can bounce back.

Last start finished ninth of 14 starters at Leopardstown in the LR on February 2 over 3419m, on slow going 15 len behind Jacob's Ladder with 67kg at $34. Start before finished eighth of 12 runners at Fairyhouse in the G3 DAN & JOAN MOORE MEMORIAL STEEPLECHASE on January 14 over 3419m, 35 len behind Western Diego carrying 65.5kg at $13. Would need to improve sharply to feature.

Resumes off a 39 day letup. Last outing finished tenth of 12 runners at Fairyhouse in the G3 DAN & JOAN MOORE MEMORIAL STEEPLECHASE on January 14 over 3419m, 51 len behind Western Diego with 71kg at $19. Start before finished sixth of 17 starters at Leopardstown on December 27 over 3218m, 11 len behind Bowensonfire with 75.5kg at $23. Better than recent efforts suggest so worth considering.
