Review naas 20th Feb
< Golden Silver s preparation for a possible tilt at the Champion Chase at Cheltenham went well as he enjoyed an easy victory in the paddypower.com Chase at Naas, the second leg of a treble for Paul Townend and Willie Mullins.

Mullins made it four winners on the day when Samain (7-4) took the concluding bumper under son Patrick.< Roi Du Mee pulled out all the stops to land the Grade 2 Woodlands Park 100 Club Nas Na Riogh Novice Chase for Gordon Elliott.
Having seen off Alpha Ridge on the back straight under Davy Russell, the 6-4 favourite had to work really hard to fend off Ad Idem by two lengths.< Arklow Ger battled on well to land the paddypower.com iPhone App Handicap Hurdle for Paul Nolan and Alain Cawley, while the Osborne's Solicitors Handicap Hurdle went the way of Rivage D'Or (4-1), who led home a 1-2 for Dessie Hughes, beating Raz De Maree
