The week came to a close with my pick A Case Of You winning. The 4/11 favourite sat 2nd at halfway leading just over a furlong out. He drew clear inside the final furlong keeping on well to beat Meishar by 3 1/2 lengths.
Eight races at Naas kick off the weekend and the highlight is the 4.00 when 5 begin the Bba Ireland Limited Opera Hat Mares Chase. Elimay is a smart chaser who was a respectable 2nd to Mount Ida at Fairyhouse 42 days ago. She was the 1/1 favourite that day and with another go at the Mares Chase at the Cheltenham Festival next month her destination she should take care of some inferior rivals here and win this race for a second year. Court Maid is the only danger a good horse who was 5th behind Royal Kahala in the John Mulhern Galmoy Hurdle at Gowran Park last month. She has a slight chance if back to her best on her return to chasing. It's difficult to pick out another one from the field but I would put That’s Lifebuoy on the shortlist. This fair hurdler was a below form 7th in a handicap hurdle at Leopardstown 6 days ago. She makes the switch to chasing here but faces a stiff task.
Big race prediction: 1: Elimay.
