Verdict
Takeachancejimmy went up 10lb for beating today's rival Rag Tatter over 3l at Navan but didn't appreciate front-running back there a week later. The runner-up, who was having only his second start for new connections, will be 10lb better off with jockeys claims taken into consideration having been surprisingly dropped 1lb and can reverse the form. Teddy Boy was a close third though appeared to have had every chance while Guiding Star is 1-41 though can't go much lower in the weights. NOIRVENTO (NAP) ended last season with two good runs in huge fields at Navan. She reappeared at Naas with a very encouraging run considering she was 6lb out of the handicap and can gain her first victory. May Remain was well supported at Navan last time having dropped massively in the ratings but ran poorly and has changed stables.
