The feature event at Naas today has lost some of it's lustre with Blackstairmountain a non-runner.

Willie Mullins has taken his charge out because of the ground at the Kildare venue. The going is soft to heavy after 6mm of rain overnight.

His absence leaves Bog Warrior as a short price favourite for the Opera Hat Novice Chase.
