Back a horse at the best price by clicking their odds below - and check out the Irish selections below for a big day at Naas.
BITSANDBUCKLES (1.20 Huntingdon, nap)
He has shown bits of promise in novice contests but looks set to improve plenty for stepping up in distance on this handicap debut. Trainer Olly Murphy is in good form and his rider Dylan Johnston takes off a valuable 6lb.
GOD’S OWN GETAWAY (1.30 Wincanton, nb)
Dan Skelton’s six-year-old came back from a break to finish a close-up third at Warwick last time. He quickly moves into handicap company with plenty more to offer.
SUNDAY SOLDIER (3.07 Sedgefield, treble)
She has been a revelation since going handicap with convincing back-to-back wins at Musselburgh. She should be capable of handling a 7lb penalty for a 12-length success over a similar trip last time out.
