Mag out to impress again at Naas The BBA Ireland Limited Opera Hat Mares Chase is the main event on a fine card at Naas on Saturday, with Vroum Vroum Mag taking top billing for Willie Mullins. The six-year-old has done nothing but impress since joining the champion trainer, completing a hat-trick in Grade Two company at Thurles last month. Danny Mullins gets his chance on the French import, with Ruby Walsh and Paul Townend on duty across the Irish Sea. Vroum Vroum Mag must concede weight all round, however, so it might not be a cakewalk. Leading owner JP McManus is doubly represented, with Jacksonslady and Whatwillwecallher in contention. Is Herself About and Kates Benefit are worthy of their places in the five-strong field, too. Mullins and Vroum Vroum Mag's owners Rich and Susannah Ricci also have a strong contender in the closing Go Racing In Kildare (Pro/Am) INH Flat Race in the shape of Pylonthepressure. The point-to-point and Thurles victor may be given most to think about by Space Cadet. The top team's representative in the Bet Online At thetote.com Beginners Chase is Blood Cotil, but he faces no easy task. His opponents include Stuart Crawford's Gilt Shadow, who suffered an unfortunate fall at Navan last time, while Tavern Times is another fascinating participant. The 2010 Champion Bumper fourth went on to win at Grade Three level over hurdles for Tom Mullins, but has been off the track since October 2011. He has his first start for Charles Byrnes, with Davy Russell carrying the colours of his father Jerry in the saddle. Elsewhere, the Goat Racing Syndicate, who enjoyed so many special days with the now-retired Forpadydeplasterer, embark on a new venture with Bouldtailorquigley in the BESS Ball Hype Maiden Hurdle.
