Saturday's winner at Fairyhouse was Nick Rockett. The 5/6 favourite was 2nd early disputing the lead from the 3rd, he travelled well moving to the front 2 out staying on well on the run-in beating Intense Raffles by 3/4 of a length. In the other race Bioluminescence was 2nd. The 9/4 shot led at the 4th but was strongly pressed being passed before the last by Spindleberry who won by 6 1/2 lengths.
Eight races take place at Naas on Sunday where there are 2 main events.
4.50: William Hill Best Odds Guaranteed Nas Na Riogh Novice Handicap Chase.
1: Shannon Royale: A decent horse who's latest win came at Punchestown in December. The step up to graded level was too much last time being pulled up 3 out at Gowran Park in the Goffs Thyestes 31 days ago. That can be overlooked and in a smaller field he can definitely bounce back and pick up a fifth career win.
5.20: DAR Golf Newlands Chase (Grade 3)
1: Blood Destiny: A smart chaser who was a creditable 3rd behind Appreciate It in the Grade 2 Horse & Jockey Hotel Chase at Thurles 35 days ago. He sat 5th approaching halfway improving to dispute the lead entering the straight, he was passed before the last making no impression on the run-in. That was his return after 8 months off and this looks like a good opportunity for him to resume winning ways.
