Duke Of Leggagh chasing Naas hat-trick Duke Of Leggagh is chasing a hat-trick of consecutive Naas wins today as trainer Mick Mulvany steps him up in distance in the Bar One Racing 'Extra Place Races At The Cheltenham Festival' Handicap Hurdle. Previously runner-up to subsequent four-time Group 1-winner Paddington in the Madrid Handicap at today’s course in March 2023, the son of Mulvany’s stallion Tough As Nails has recently scored twice over jumps at Naas. Mulvany reports “we are putting him up in trip but I'd be a little bit worried about the trip, as he's getting two miles really well. "The last day he jumped well, an awful lot better. "He is what he is - he is a good, tough, genuine horse when he gets into a battle. He seems to be in great form." Quotes from Michael Graham
