Note Naples in Bumper

NAPLES, who has already lost a race in somewhat bizarre circumstances, can enjoy a 'first' success in the Bumper at Bellewstown tonight.

Noel Meade's gelding scored by four lengths at Downpatrick in May, but was later disqualified when it was discovered that rider, Nina Carberry, had claimed 5lbs when only entitled to 3lbs.

The six-year-old then contested a winners' race at Down Royal ten days ago and produced the performance of his young life.
