Longer trip sure to suit Miss Nashwan
The Roswell House handler has a high opinion of his charge and she can win an interesting and competitive contest.
The selection, who is Italian owned, won her only race as a juvenile at Capannelle, in Italy, staying on strongly to take a mile maiden by two lengths.
She made a very promising reappearance in a listed event at the Curragh in March, going down by a fast diminishing half a length to Wrong Key.
Miss Nashwan finished to real effect that afternoon and should be well suited to stepping up another two furlongs in trip.
Weld’s Savieres, who humped a big weight into third behind Mr Wong at Cork, can provide the solution to a moderate Navan Racecourse Family Day Race.
Aidan O’Brien’s Follow gets the nod in the opening Coolmore King Charlemagne Fillies Maiden.
She had the worst of the draw when beaten two and a half lengths by the smart Miss Childrey at Cork and will surely strip a far better horse on this occasion!
Feature event at Gowran Park tomorrow is the Glanbia Classic Trial, which is unlikely to cause any ripples in any ante-post markets.
The vote falls on O’Brien’s Roosevelt, who has the benefit of a run this season, over his two main rivals, Eklim and Dolmur. The son of Danehill showed a little promise on his only outing as a two-year-old and built on that by making a winning start to his three-year-old career.
He beat Southern Style and Ebatana in a driving finish at Leopardstown and, though the form hasn’t worked out, Roosevelt still gets the nod.
At Punchestown this afternoon, where the emphasis has changed from quality to quantity, Frances Crowley’s Monte Vista is fancied to take the second division of the Bumper. The Montelimar gelding looked a horse for the future when a creditable third behind Mark The Man at Fairyhouse in November.
