11:40 Navan Maiden Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

WINGMEN has a big engine and is a fascinating runner on his hurdling debut. The Kayf Tara was hard on himself in bumpers, running very freely a couple of times, but he won a strong contest at Punchestown when last seen in May and is obviously very talented. He has won a point-to-point so jumping shouldn't be an issue and the hurdles could make him a bit more tractable. The unbeaten Forty Coats is the obvious danger. The Diamond Boy gelding won a strong looking bumper at Naas in April and also has point-to-point experience. Syracus Du Houx looks like place material.

WINGMEN showed smart form in bumpers and can get his hurdling career off to the perfect start before going on to much better things. Forty Coats created a good impression when landing a Naas bumper back in the spring and can provide the main threat.

A dual bumper winner last season, WINGMEN can make a winning start over hurdles, chiefly at the expense of Forty Coats

12:15 Navan Handicap Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

There is more to come from IN FOR THE NIGHT and he can defy an 8lb rise for his easy win a Gowran Park early last month. The Champs Elysees gelding had a couple of nice runs before coming good last time and the six-year-old looks capable of striking again. Great Ocean was a good winner on his first outing for Cian Collins, over fences at Sligo, early last month. He switches back to hurdles now and looks to be on a competitive mark. Long standing maiden Musta Lovea Lovea tends to be thereabouts and can pick up more prize-money.

IN FOR THE NIGHT rates the pick of these weights despite taking a 8 lb weights hike for his stylish Gowran victory so looks the way to go in this very open handicap. Krabat is on a long losing run but weighted to go well so could emerge as the main danger ahead of Voice of Reason, Burru, Gamigin and Slane Hill.

A revelation over fences at Sligo on his first start for Cian Collins, GREAT OCEAN can add to the two hurdle wins gained in Britain

12:50 Navan Handicap Hurdle 16f  Race Speed Rating Flow

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

TONAGHNEAVE WELL may be able to make a winning start in handicap company. The four-year-old has been very consistent and won a good maiden at Gowran Park early last month. He went down by half a length to the progressive Ol Man Dingle at Wexford last time and doesn't look badly treated off an initial mark of 119. The Mediator had been frustrating before opening his hurdling account in fine style at Fairyhouse. With that confidence boosting win under his belt he could play a big part again. Hashtag Pretender similarly gained an overdue win last time and is another to consider on his handicap debut.

MEDIA NARANJA appeals as being on a workable mark over hurdles and she's given the narrow vote to come out on top for the stable who landed this race 12 months ago. Hashtag Pretender and Tonaghneave Well are others fancied to feature. Harsh and Clarens also make some appeal.

Amateur-ridden in a series of handicap hurdle runs last season, CAFE CON LECHE has strong prospects on his recent Flat form

13:25 Navan Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Gordon Elliott has won four of the last eight runnings of this race and BLEU DE VASSY can enhance that record. The Cokoriko gelding had some strong bumper form and made a stunning start to his hurdling career with a wide margin win at Fairyhouse last month. He will get further than this in time but looks to have the class to score at this trip. The well-bred Mywayofthinkin won his maiden hurdle at Punchestown in fine style and is open to plenty of improvement. He could be a danger. Mr Percy made up for unseating early first time over jumps with a good win at Limerick. He's another for the shortlist.

Having impressed on his hurdles debut at Fairyhouse last month, BLEU DE VASSY can be expected to take this step up in class in his stride. He may have most to fear from stable companion Patter Merchant, who also made a winning start in this sphere at Galway. Mywayofthinkin, another who is 1-1 over hurdles, is open to plenty of progress and he needs a second look, along with Helvic Dream.

A very open renewal in which maiden winners BLEU DE VASSY and Mywayofthinkin could be the ones to concentrate on

13:58 Navan Conditions Hurdle 20f  Race Speed Rating Flow

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

BOB OLINGER opened his season on a bright note in this race last year and can make a winning start again. The classy Sholokhov gelding was a cosy winner 12 months ago and ended his campaign with an agonisingly narrow defeat by Impaire Et Passe in top level company at Aintree. He sets the standard here off his mark of 160. Home By The Lee hasn't much to find on the book getting a 5lb pull. He won this race a couple of years ago before finishing third to the selection 12 months ago. The mare Jetara comes here with a fitness advantage and gets 12lb from the selection. She could also play a big part.

BOB OLINGER can make a winning reappearance in this race for the second year running. Dawn Rising has developed into a smart performer on the Flat since winning a Grade 3 novice hurdle a couple of years ago and is second choice ahead of Jetara.

A good-class renewal with first three from last year in opposition, BOB OLINGER taken to confirm form

14:33 Navan Conditions Chase 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

A cracking renewal with four Grade 1 winners lining up. FOUND A FIFTY has the fitness advantage and can make a mark now against seasoned performers. The Solskjaer gelding produced a fine weight carrying performance at Down Royal on his return a fortnight ago. Captain Guinness bids for a hat-trick in the race so commands utmost respect. He got his day in the sun when landing the Champion Chase back in March and has been a wonderfully consitent performer. He ended his season with a narrow defeat by Banbridge at Punchestown and that rival is another big player in a small but select field. Joseph O'Brien's charge showed he can operate at a high level over two miles that day.

GENTLEMAN DE MEE disappointed on his last 2 starts in the spring but a reproduction of his Queen Mother Champion Chase second at Cheltenham would make him the one to beat on these terms. Found A Fifty looks one to keep on side this winter after his winning comeback at Down Royal and is next best ahead of Banbridge and Captain Guinness, who were separated by only a neck in the Champion Chase at Punchestown.

With race-fitness in his favour, FOUND A FIFTY may take the measure of Captain Guinness who bids to win this for the third time

15:08 Navan Maiden Chase 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

The strong travelling KING OF KINGSFIELD hasn't always found the most off the bridle and fences may really suit him now. He won his point-to-point in facile fashion a couple of years ago and it will be interesting to see how the Grade 1 placed hurdler fares now that he turns his attention to chasing. Stablemate Down Memory Lane is one of four in JP McManus's colours and could be the danger. The Walk In The Park gelding lost his unbeaten record when a well-beaten third in Grade 1 company last Christmas but remains a lovely prospect for chasing. Galway Hurdle winner Nurburgring is another notable runner, trying fences for the first time.

DOWN MEMORY LANE remains a very nice prospect, despite his heavy defeat in a Leopardstown Grade 1 when last seen in December 2023. The 6-y-o was a wide-margin winner of his sole start between the flags and could be a very useful chaser in the making. Nurburgring and King of Kingsfield are feared most in that order of preference, while Backtonormal is also of interest.

A high-class looking beginners' chase in which Galway Hurdle winner NURBURGRING could stretch them all

15:43 Navan NH Flat Race 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Jockey bookings would suggest that WHINNEY HILL is the first choice from the Gigginstown pair and he can strike at the second time of asking on the track. The Jack Hobbs gelding ran well on his racecourse bow when chasing home Friary Road in a winners' contest at Punchestown last month and is entitled to improve a bit from that run. Stablemate He Can't Dance won a point-to-point at Monksgrange in late March and cost 300,000 pounds afterwards. The market may prove the best guide to his chances. The Lookout Man shaped with promise when second on his debut at Thurles back in March and has joined Declan Queally since. He's another to note.

HE CAN'T DANCE is from the family of Master Minded and fetched a hefty sum after winning a point, so he's fully expected to make a winning start under Rules for top connections. Stablemate Whinney Hill is the main threat ahead of Minella Post.

Gordon Elliott has a strong hand. HE CAN'T DANCE impressed in winning a point for Rob James and can be rated a fine long-term prospect

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.
