Highland Crystal can get the weekend off to the best possible start for punters by winning the SR Ventilation Supporting Kill GAA Rated Hurdle, the opening race of Saturday’s Naas card.

Trained by Gordon Elliott, this daughter of Crystal Ocean has yet to taste defeat, following up a 14-length November debut win at Punchestown with a smooth Newbury success later that month. She can complete the hat-trick here.
