Unbeaten Carefully Selected should go close with trip sure to suit
Sunday's Naas runners
Carefully Selected will be putting his unbeaten record over fences on the line in the Grade 3 novice chase (2.10) and although we're running him back a bit quick after his win at Punchestown two weeks ago, he seems in good form.
We've always viewed him as a horse who will relish Sunday's 3m trip, and while it looks a tidy race he's gaining experience with every run and should go close.
Small Farm, who goes in the same race, will probably find things tough. He was vying for the lead when he fell two out over 3m1f at Punchestown last time, but more testing ground would suit him and he just might not be quite good enough for the better novices.
