Mystic Theatre can take centre stage in Naas bumper

I’ll be sitting out the weekend. Willie was fairly keen I get to Cheltenham next week, and he’s the boss, so that’s the way, writes Ruby Walsh. 

And, anyway, I would probably cry, myself, if I got a fall and got hurt this weekend and missed the Festival, so I probably didn’t argue too hard.

But it’s a busy weekend for the stable, and there is good racing, starting at Gowran this afternoon. The first of Willie’s horses is New Kid In Town, in the two-and-a-quarter-mile handicap chase. It is a significant drop back in trip for him, and it has been the subject of much debate in the yard, but we think it will suit him better than going up in trip.
