Side with Stubbs

Stubbs is the nap choice to land the Listed Alfred Nobel Rochestown Stakes at Naas this afternoon.

Only four are set to face the starter, but this has the makings of a decent contest and should prove most informative. The son of Danehill Dancer was beaten into third on his debut at the Curragh in March, before reappearing almost two months later at Navan in May.

He was altogether a different proposition on this occasion, overcoming an unfavourable draw to sweep clear in the closing stages to win his maiden by four and a quarter lengths.
