Los Blanco hard to oppose in opener at Naas

Naas holds a National Hunt card on Thursday and Los Blanco can ensure a winning start to proceedings for punters by taking the opener, the first division of the Pat O’Hare Bookmakers Maiden Hurdle.
The six-year-old Masked Marvel gelding joined Henry de Bromhead last year and made his track and stable debut in early January at this venue. The run came at the early stages of the stable’s mid-season lull and, with that in mind, it was a fine effort to finish third behind Joystick and Honesty Policy.
