15:45 Naas Racecourse Business Club Nursery Handicap

Race preview

PLAY BY THE RULES was second on handicap debut at Killarney and could prove a few pounds well-in, with the form receiving a boost at the weekend. Comfortably beaten 1.25 by Howth at Killarney, that winner was fourth at Group 2 level last weekend, giving substance to the form and PLAY BY THE RULES runs over the same trip and ground. Bellabel was a neck behind in third, also on handicap debut, at Killarney and is now tried in first-time cheek-pieces. Mumayaz was fourth at Killarney, won next time and while clearly progressive, is now 2lbs worse-off with PLAY BY THE RULES and Bellabel. Mumayaz beat Walking On Clouds to win at Down Royal, with Lexi's Dream (badly drawn in 19 today) finishing fourth. Buenaventura is interesting on handicap debut having run well in two smart maidens at Galway in July and Leopardstown last month. Arch Enemy, drawn in 16, won over 6f in August but tries a mile for the first time while Colin Keane rides Obdurate, in first-time blinkers, who has shown form but disappointed on the all-weather recently.
