| The January Grade 1 run over 2m 4f at Naas has thrown up some future stars in recent seasons including Envoi Allen and the 2016 Grand National Winner Rule The World. The 2021 race is unusually being run on a Wednesday and will be watched not only as an exciting race in its own right but also as a pointer to the Ballymore and Albert Bartlett Hurdles at Cheltenham. |
