Naas Race 8 - TRM Nutrition Best-Turned-Out Series Back For 2026 Race
HARDY WARRIOR (1) is markedly down in grade after missing the placings finishing fourth attempting the G1 Criterium International at Saint-Cloud during October. Placed second in the G2 Champions Juvenile Stakes at Leopardstown the start prior. Major player. STRAIGHT UP (2) represents leading connections along with a notable jockey and trainer combination. Disappointed delivering final outing last season when sixth in the G3 Autumn Stakes at Newmarket (Rowley). Improvement expected. TAKE CHARGE STAR (3) shed the maiden tag by 2.5L tackling a Gowran Park maiden then ran sixth in the Goffs Million at The Curragh. Can bounce back.
