13:45 Navan Maiden 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

It is difficult to predict which horse will do well based on this summary as there are several newcomers and lightly raced horses with little form to go on. However, based on their previous performances, 4/1 (6) JALAYBEE and 40/1 (11) NIKA PIKA may have place claims. It is also worth keeping an eye on the Ballydoyle newcomer 7/1 (1) BATTLE CRY and the Siyouni colt 3/1 (2) BATTLE FLEET who is a likely type on paper. In terms of a prediction, it is too close to call and would depend on factors such as the going and the way the race unfolds.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY is held in good regard by connections and may be sharp enough to make a winning debut. The Ger Lyons-trained son of Starspangledbanner, whose dam won as a juvenile, cost 130,000 guineas as a yearling. Aidan O'Brien's two-year-old team have made a big impact already this season and the Ballydoyle maestro is represented by Battle Cry (by No Nay Never) and Battle Fleet. The latter cost 210,000 at Arqana last October and is a Siyouni brother to a Listed-placed juvenile winner in France. Zelestial and Givemethebeatboys are other newcomers to consider, while Jalaybee has shown promise on both starts including when runner-up to Democracy on testing ground at the Curragh.

JALAYBEE is given another chance now stepping back up slightly in trip but a strong market move for newcomers such as Battle Cry, Battle Fleet and/or General Assembly would put a slightly different slant on things.

This will likely go to a newcomer; Ger Lyons had a couple of juveniles run well last weekend so a chance is taken with GENERAL ASSEMBLY

14:20 Navan Handicap 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

1st: 6.5/1 (3) CONVERSANT 2nd: 8/1 (10) CATHERINE CHROI 3rd: 40/1 (20) SIN E SHEKELLS

INTHEPOORHOUSE shaped well on his handicap debut at Galway last autumn and again ran well on soft ground at the Curragh last time. The selection didn't enjoy the clearest of passages but still made the frame in the 23-runner event won by Midnight Fire last month. Pretty Boy Floyd has dropped down in the ratings and advertised his claims when just denied by Run Forrest Run in a blanket finish at the Curragh earlier this month. Conversant acts well on soft ground and comes here in good form having beaten Catherine Chroi at Sligo recently with Darcy's Rock only weakening in the closing stages to finish fourth. Art Of Unity has dropped considerably in the ratings since winning twice here in 2021 while recent Cork winner Purring Along is another to consider.

An ultra-competitive sprint in which PRETTY BOY FLOYD is selected to snap a losing run stretching back to 2021 and go a place better than at the Curragh 12 days ago. The main danger could be Teddy Boy, who finished fourth in this corresponding event last year and is now operating from a 10 lb lower mark. Catherine Chroi, Conversant and Let's Believe are just a handful of others to consider.

Curragh fourth Inthepoorhouse is likely to contend but \bLET'S BELIEVE\is forgiven a poor run there and had previously shown potential

14:55 Navan Maiden 5f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

1st: 1.63/1 (11) PARTING GLASS, 2nd: 9/1 (18) YUZU, 3rd: 6.5/1 (1) DAISY JONES.

The sprint maiden won by Amazon Lady at Tipperary last month looks a key piece of form with a number from that five-furlong event renewing rivalry. PARTING GLASS raced alone on the far side when finishing second and is taken to confirm places with Heartrate and Daisy Jones who were close up in fourth and fifth respectively. The selection looks sure to benefit from that experience and his yard has been in decent form in recent weeks. Daisy Jones also handled soft ground when narrowly denied in a 22-runner maiden at the Curragh last autumn. Zaragoza cost 200,000 at the Goffs Orby Sale and is a half-brother to three winners while Ferrari Desert is another newcomer to note.

This can go to PARTING GLASS, who ran a cracker on his return at Tipperary last month and remains open to improvement. Daisy Jones and Heartrate rate the principal dangers.

Of those with experience, YUZU showed improved form at Sligo and is just preferred to Parting Glass who has done little wrong

15:30 Navan Handicap 5f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

Based on the summary provided, it is difficult to predict with certainty which horses will finish in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. However, some horses that have potential to perform well include 14/1 (16) SCREEN SIREN, 22/1 (4) LOVEDAY, 3.5/1 (9) JON RIGGENS, 14/1 (6) ONLY SPOOFING, 7/1 (7) TAWAAZON, and 7.5/1 (5) CURRAHEEN PRINCESS. It is important to note that horse racing is unpredictable and outcomes can vary.

MICKEY THE STEEL looks dangerous with Wayne Hassett taking 10lb off his back. He ran well when closing in second at Naas in March under another 10lb claimer. He took the honours over C&D in October. Curraheen Princess has a brilliant record in Navan since switching to Nicky Stokes. Her form figures read '1121'. She is making her first start of the season and is more than adept on slow ground. Eddie Lynam's Jon Riggens is coming to himself after two runs this season and is capable of getting involved. His stablemate, Heavenly Power, clearly enjoys cut in the ground and signed off the last campaign by beating a massive field in a sprint handicap at the Curragh. Screen Siren, Rough Diamond and Loveday have chances. Only Spoofing has won the last two renewals of this race, but hasn't been as effective off a higher mark this season.

A few with chances but JON RIGGENS can race off a 1 lb lower mark than when a good Naas third last time when faring best of those that raced in the centre of the track so gets the vote. C&D winner Mickey The Steel is next on the list on the back of his good Naas second, with course scorer Tawaazon appealing as the pick of the rest for place purposes.

Slight preference is for last month's Naas third JON RIGGENS over Mickey The Steel who beat him over C&D last October

16:05 Navan Listed 13f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

1st: 4/1 (5) SERIOUS CHALLENGE 2nd: 4/1 (4) PEKING OPERA 3rd: 4.5/1 (1) COVENT GARDEN

A very tricky race. Joseph O'Brien's NURBURGRING has the advantage of being proven over this staying trip. He upset an odds-on favourite over C&D last month when drawing more than four lengths clear. The Leopardstown maiden that Peking Opera won at the end of last season has thrown up plenty of winners. This Galileo colt is an obvious danger from the champion trainer's stable. Nurburgring's stablemate, St Vincents Garden, was an eye-catcher in Leopardstown last weekend. The penny dropped and he finished very well to get up for third without threatening the leaders. The step up in trip should be ideal based on that effort. Covent Garden, in first-time blinkers, Etna Rosso and Serious Challenge add more to the mix.

ST VINCENTS GARDEN is the only one of these not to have won a race but he made a highly promising debut when third at Leopardstown recently and improvement should be forthcoming. He gets the nod ahead of the Aidan O'Brien-trained duo, Peking Opera and Covent Garden (in that order of preference), while Serious Challenge should also be involved, provided his stamina holds out.

It could pay to overlook the fact that COVENT GARDEN finished in rear in a Group 1 event in France on his final start at two

16:35 Navan Handicap 13f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

1st: 2/1 (4) STRIKING 2nd: 4/1 (10) BOLERO 3rd: 12/1 (3) FRENCH COMPANY

STRIKING put in a strong-staying performance to win in Gowran Park and could go in again. He attracted plenty of support and was value for more than the victory margin of a length and a half. Red Vermillion was backed at big prices in the same race and finished third. She is well in the hunt for more prize money. Bolero ran creditably in second over a similar trip at Gowran Park on Wednesday. She has now been placed on her last four outings including when runner-up over 1m6f at this track in October. A visor is tried on her. French Company, Lariat and Indulging all have a shot at prize money.

Fit from his most encouraging run yet over hurdles, STRIKING readily surpassed his previous exploits on the Flat when successful at Gowran 24 days ago, having the run of the race to a large extent but nicely on top at the finish. He gets the nod to follow up with further progress anticipated. Bolero, Indulging and Tooso head up the dangers.

Building on a good hurdle run at Fairyhouse \bSTRIKING\b won with plenty in hand at Gowran and may defy an 11lb rise in the ratings

17:10 Navan Maiden 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

1st: 0.73/1 (12) VALIANT KING 2nd: 20/1 (11) UNIFICATION 3rd: 14/1 (9) SULLIVAN BAY

The 89-rated VALIANT KING has shown more than enough to land a maiden for Joseph O'Brien. He's had three outings and showed definite promise in third at Killarney and fourth in the Curragh before just losing out by a short head over this trip at Leopardstown last month. He holds a Group 2 entry for Royal Ascot and also has an Irish Derby entry. Justify colt City Of Chicago is a half-brother to a Group 2 winner and represents powerful connections. He falls into the 'could be anything' category ahead of his debut. Squire Danagher holds big-race entries and could improve on his third start. Cormac T showed up well in third at Gowran Park last month. O'Brien takes the wraps off Australia colt Sullivan Bay who is worth a market check.

VALIANT KING was well backed and found improvement when second in a handicap at Leopardstown and, given he shaped best that day, he's likely to do better still. He's the obvious choice despite the presence of well-bred newcomer City of Chicago. Cormac T and Squire Danagher should both improve from encouraging debuts.

Raised 6lb to 89 after going very close in a handicap at Leopardstown, VALIANT KING reverts to maiden company with strong prospects

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
