After the double yesterday, we look to follow up with another. Today we will be relying on William Buick who is at Naas for a full book of rides and we will be taking him to top and tail his rosta with wins
In the Listed Owenstown Stud Stakes at 2:35 he will be aboard ANAMBA for Michael Halford. A winner on debut she defeated Coolmore on the day staying on well over 7f at Leopardstown. The pair met again next time at the Curragh last September where O'Briens charge got her revenge turning a head defeat into a half length victory. Coolmore may have been a tad disappointing so far this season but has been competing in top events. Anama is taken to continue her progress first time out this season.
We are looking at the same team for the NAP later on the card in the 5.15 Handicap where GOLDEN RAVEN will be supported. Seen only 3 times toward the end of last season suggests he took some time to come into himself and certainly after an acceptable debut went on to show what he could do in his grade with a brace of wins first at the same Navan track he made his debut and then switched to the sand at Dundalk beating the 91 rated Bishan bedi by a neck. Interestingly back in third on that occasion (just a further short head away) was Ger Lyons Toccata Blue. With a 6lb advantage today he has to be rated the main threat but at 5 may not have the same improvement we might expect from the selection. They could go close again though and a small stake for reverse forecast purposes may be pertinent.
Now, you know we love one at a price at OLBG Ireland as you will have seen (and collected on) had you been following over the past few weeks. Well, ger Lyons has another one we have one eye on today. in the 4.45 he has a pair running for him but it is ROIBEARD that could be the surprise package is showing what he is capable of. A winner on debut he has had some issues since and is stated as taking his time coming to hand. The trainer is yet to be totally happy with him but is hopeful more competitive action can spark him into action - On this basis, we would only recommend small stakes Each Way interest but could be rewarded as we expect him to be around 20/1 for the off.
