MANSONY can give jockey Davy Russell the ideal confidence-booster for Cheltenham with success in the Naas Chase at the Kildare venue this afternoon. Russell rides Cailin Alainn for Charles Byrnes in the Royal and SunAlliance Chase on Wednesday and should enjoy an armchair spin aboard Mansony in this event.
Russell's colleague Ruby Walsh is also fancied to have a good send-off courtesy of his father Ted's horse Heavenly Blues in the William Malone Novice Hurdle, while Niall Madden gets the vote to complete a double through American Jennie in the Nolan & Brophy Handicap Hurdle and Judge Deed in the Lakelands Maiden Hurdle.
Phoenix Run may be too good for Snow Point in the Rockview (QR) INH Flat Race.
