The Thyestes winner Now Is The Hour could bid for a huge handicap double this weekend, as he is one of four Gavin Cromwell-trained horses who remain in contention for the BAR 1 Betting Leinster National at Naas on Sunday.

It is the final jumps meeting of the season at Naas, and the feature race, worth a tasty €100,000 in prize money, is shaping up to be a cracking contest containing some classy staying chasers.
