Saturday racing tips: A Saturday longshot to fill your pockets at Naas from Jack Keene

I THINK I speak for all racing fans when I say I've got my fingers firmly crossed at present.

We will find out the extent of the equine flu outbreak on Monday. Thankfully there is some decent action at Naas today to keep us occupied.

Cheltenham Festival-winning trainer Paul Nolan has his runners in fine form, and he can continue his good run with PECULIAR GENIUS (3.10 Naas).

The six-year-old has been mixing it up over hurdles and fences of late.

He shaped as though he was ready for the step back up to 2m4f when third over the minimum trip last time.

This stiffer test and return to fences looks sure to suit, while the forecast easy ground is in his favour.
