Dundalk stages the first meeting since the end of the 2019 flat campaign at Naas on Sunday
Today’s offering is an afternoon affair, a well-supported, competitive, eight-race card. And the once-raced, Johnny Murtagh-trained So Suave is a hopeful nap choice in the Irish Stallion Farms Auction 2-Y-0 Maiden.
An unconsidered 20/1 shot for his debut in Navan, this Make Believe colt came form off the pace, finishing well to get within a neck of Flaming Moon, which went on to make a quick reappearance, off 83, in the ‘Birdcatcher’ at Naas.
With normal improvement and tackling a longer trip Niall McCullagh’s charge should prove tough to beat.
Veteran Master Speaker should go close in the opening claimer while Masalai, expected to reverse last week’s form with Fashaar in the first division of the one-mile 45-65 handicap, and Munaajaat, a close third to Lady In Lavender last week, in the finale, look the pick of the handicap action.
