Adequate display of jumping should see Aengus home in front

Noel Meade’s Aengus can land the Bess Ball Hype Maiden Hurdle at Naas this afternoon.

There is little doubt that he is the best horse in the 16-runner field and if his jumping holds up will take a lot of beating.

It certainly left a bit to be desired on his debut over flights at Leopardstown at Christmas, third behind Alvisio Ville and Baily Cloud.
