16:56 Naas — Race Preview & Tips
We're tipping Charles Darwin in the 16:56 at Naas — a Flat race with 8 runners on Good going.
A look at the form — 4111-1 — reveals winning form that is hard to ignore.
Aidan O'Brien has been in fine form and teams up with Ryan Moore, a combination that demands respect.
These conditions — Good ground over — look tailor-made for the selection.
Key angle: Won last time out.
An official mark of 110 looks workable in this grade.
For each-way purposes, Royal Bay Cen merits consideration as a place alternative.
