Gauloise didn't run on Saturday as the meeting at Fairyhouse was called off due to a waterlogged track. The meeting is now going to take place on Monday February 8th.
As I write this the meeting at Naas on Sunday is still on although there is an inspection at 7.30am. If it does get the go-ahead then the feature is the 3.15 when 8 begin the Naas Racecourse Business Club Novice Chase. The standout horse is definitely Pencilfulloflead who had a strong end to 2020 winning at Galway and Punchestown before finishing a very creditable 2nd behind Colreevy in the Faugheen Novices Chase at Limerick 36 days ago,he goes up in trip here and is the one to beat. Of the others there are 2 main challengers,Eklat De Rire looked impressive when winning his fences debut by 3 1/2 lengths at Punchestown at the beginning of December there is definitely more to come from him and he should not be taken lightly while Escaria Ten was an easy 20 length winner on heavy ground at Thurles when last seen 42 days ago. He is open to improvement and could make his presence felt here.
Big race prediction:1: Pencilfulloflead.
