Landofhope bidding for Naas honours Landofhopeandglory will bid to make it two from two as he lines up in the feature at Naas on Wednesday, the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Premier Nursery Handicap. The Aidan O'Brien-trained son of High Chaparral won on debut at the Galway Festival last month and he holds a whole host of big-race entries. O'Brien's son Donnacha takes a valuable 5lb off his back here and he can be expected to give a good account of himself in what looks a wide open contest. Ana O'Brien takes the ride on the other Ballydoyle representative Dancing On Air and it will be interesting to see how this daughter of Fastnet Rock gets on fitted with blinkers for the first time. Jefferson Davis, Reddot Roman, Sevenleft and Clon Rocket are other leading contenders. Willie McCreery trains Clon Rocket and he has Ohh Lala and Expreso Brasileiro in the opening Panoramic Restaurant At Naas Racecourse Handicap. They both look to have solid claims while others to consider in this competitive six-furlong heat are Mutazen, Chaplin Bay, Ring Presence and Gladly. Jealika and Our Max both won last time out and they are sure to have plenty of supporters in the Follow Naas On Facebook Handicap. Ceol Na Ghra was a good second at the Curragh on her most recent outing and she looks the one to side with in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden while the hat-trick seeking Three Bells should go close in the naasracecourse.com Handicap. Blue De Vega was the subject of a gamble on his debut at Dundalk earlier this month and he finished a fine third there after breaking slowly from the stalls. With that experience under his belt he looks the one to beat in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF (C & G) Maiden. Duchessofflorence, Rainfall Radar, Athassel Abbey, Vintage Charm and Out Of Context would appear to have the concluding Hospitality At Naas Fillies Maiden between them.
