A Naas Nap and Next Best from Timeform
Naas Nap - 15:30 - Back Cleatus Poolaw
Cleatus Poolaw changed hands for €120,000 after winning his second of two starts in points and he finished runner-up on his first three starts under Rules.
He opened his account in style at this course last month, showing much improved form and really pouring it on in the closing stages, stretching eight lengths clear of the second on the run-in.
An opening mark of 130 could be lenient for him now entering handicaps and he seems sure to relish this longer trip.
Naas Next Best - 14:25 - Back Evies Vladimir
Evies Vladimir has proved a different proposition since returning from an absence in November, making a winning return and handicap debut at Clonmel, filling the runner-up spot on his next two starts, and proving better than ever when resuming winning ways at Fairyhouse earlier this month.
He was strong in the market on that occasion and won with plenty in hand, tackled approaching two out, but quickly asserting away from his rivals when asked to go win his race.
The handicapper has raised him 13 lb for that success, but he is with an excellent, in-form yard and he should have even more to offer.
