16:52 Naas

Barry Connell will be hoping for a big run from ESPANITO BELLO at Naas on Sunday ahead of a massive week at Cheltenham for his team. This horse remains lightly raced for his age and all 3 of his wins have come at this track. He thrashed the useful Coko Beach in a Beginners Chase here over 2 years ago and while things haven’t quite gone to plan since he did shape better when fifth behind Carefully Selected in the Thyestes back in January. If he can build on that racing off the same mark then he could be a big player here. The danger is probably The Tack Room who finally managed to get his head in front at Fairyhouse last time. He is up 7lb but at least comes here with confidence high. Now Where Or When was third to Kemboy and if running to that sort of level again might not be too far away either.

Espanito Bello - 1pt @ 9/2
