Navan Race 5 - William Hill Racing Bet Builder Ten Up Novice Chase (Grade 2)
OSCARS BROTHER (2) surprised many tackling fences this season including when winning the G2 Florida Pearl Novice Chase at Punchestown. Since bought by JP McManus and could prove hard to beat. GOLD DANCER (1) has been consistent of late and looks a thorough stayer. Comes out on top of the ratings. Major player. THE WALLPARK (4) was a very smart hurdler however lost his way lately. Likely to find this a step too far though worth watching with a view to handicaps in the spring. BOSSOFTHEBROWNIES (3) continues to deliver bold races. Held his form recently at Naas two weeks ago. Worth giving close consideration.
