11:30 Navan Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

MAGIC BOUM may be able to make a winning start for Gordon Elliott. The Buck's Boum mare was a good winner of her point-to-point for Ellen Doyle back in February and the form of that race looks solid. The runner-up, Claim Du Brizais, was third in an Aintree bumper in late October, while the third horse, Pure Seduction, won a maiden hurdle in Worcester during the summer. Willie Mullins representative Kaid D'authie is an obvious danger. He was a promising fifth behind Triumph Hurdle winner Majborough on his sole start in France. Eastern Legend is the pick of those with hurdles form but he needs to improve on his showing at Punchestown a fortnight ago.

KAID D'AUTHIE has been off the track since a promising debut in France last spring but he's joined Willie Mullins so fitness is no concern and he's open to plenty of improvement. Eastern Legend sets a pretty good standard for the rest to aim at, while point-recruit Magic Boum needs a second look, too.

EASTERN LEGEND wasn't beaten far in a Grade 1 at the Punchestown festival and shaped like he would come on for his recent return

12:00 Navan Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

ECHOING SILENCE is a half-sister to Grade 2 winner Deafening Silence and after showing plenty of the family talent when tasting point-to-point success at Ballycahane back in March, she changed hands at the Cheltenham Festival sale for 410,000 pounds. With that sort of price tag, plenty will be expected of her and she can deliver at the first time of asking for Henry de Bromhead. Autoportrait was a 230,000-euro purchase in November 2023 and is an interesting runner for Mouse Morris. The Authorized gelding was placed behind a decent sort in Kalibre at Auteuil on his second outing in October last year. Dont Tell Jack is another interesting recruit from between the flags.

Cases can be made for a few of these, but KIRSCA DE THAIX changed hands for €200,000 after winning a Le Mans bumper last year and having joined Willie Mullins, she can make a successful switch to hurdling at the expense of another French import in Autoportrait, who ran to a fairly useful level second time up at Auteuil and has since moved yards for a significant sum. Grimaud, Lucy Wang and Echoing Silence are a handful of others to consider, too.

GRIMAUD ran a cracker on his yard debut at Cork last month and has solid claims if he jumps a bit better

12:32 Navan Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

All eyes here will be on Cheltenham bumper winner JASMIN DE VAUX on his hurdling debut. The Tirwanako gelding already has jumping experience, having won a point-to-point, and will be expected to take high order among the novices this term. His season ended disappointingly at Punchestown last term but he should be able to start his hurdling campaign on a brighter note. The Enabler finished lame at Cork last time and it's fair to draw a line through that run. He won a Listed bumper here last term and appears the one most likely to give the selection a race. Workahead looked like a nice sort when winning his point-to-point and is one to keep an eye on.

JASMIN DE VAUX showed plenty of talent in bumpers and should be well schooled for this first crack at hurdling, so he's preferred to stablemate Joueur Masque, who also tries obstacles for the first time. Returning point winner Workahead is also considered in a competitive event.

WORKAHEAD will need a trip in time but impressed when winning his point & holds a Grade 1 entry for Leopardstown's Christmas festival

13:07 Navan Maiden Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

THE YELLOW CLAY looks hard to oppose here after a commanding performance over course and distance last month. The Yeats gelding quickened away in good style when taking the Grade 3 Monksfield Novice Hurdle last time and takes another step up the ladder now. Willie Mullins relies on My Great Mate. He won a decent contest in Galway on his last outing and while he probably needs to improve on that again, the same connections struck with a horse with a similar profile in Tounsivator at this level at Fairyhouse on Sunday. Fleur In The Park was a solid third behind the selection here last time and could take minor honours again.

THE YELLOW CLAY was very impressive in a Grade 3 here last time and can take the next step up the ladder in his stride. Stablemate Patter Merchant will be suited by the step back up in trip and is feared most ahead of My Great Mate.

Apart from an error two out, THE YELLOW CLAY did everything right in a Grade 3 here last month. He should have no trouble following up

13:42 Navan Handicap Hurdle 25f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Irish National winner Intense Raffles is the big name in the line-up and it will be interesting to see how he fares over timber. Aintree is the main aim and Bryony Frost is a noteworthy booking on his return to action. However, the vote goes to MY TRUMP CARD, who could be on a nice mark here on his handicap debut. The Albert Bartlett was mentioned as the plan after his maiden hurdle win here in January and he looks to have the potential to improve again this season. A chasing campaign was mooted for him this term and it's interesting he turns out here. The progressive Flicker Of Hope is another to note but is up in grade now.

OSCARS BROTHER produced a career best when taking a 6-runner listed event at Cork and, with the performance supported by a healthy timefigure, he's very much of interest now switched to a handicap from a fair-looking opening mark. My Trump Card, Paggane and Four Clean Aces are a trio of others to consider in an ultra-competitive handicap that is likely to make for strong form.

Several novices here with potential for improvement, and it could pay to side with the Gordon Elliott-trained PRENDS GARDE A TOI.

14:17 Navan Handicap Chase 21f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

MISS TEMPO was very good when winning at Naas last time and may be able to bag a follow up success, despite a 10lb hike. The Milan mare jumped well when making all last month and gets into this Listed handicap off a lovely weight. Willie Mullins is well represented with five runners, including Scottish National winner MacDermott. He obviously stays further but has won at this trip over hurdles and was placed at two miles over fences. He commands respect on his return. Interestingly Paul Townend sides with Adamantly Chosen. He made little impression in the Grand National last term and was also well beaten at Punchestown, but he is capable on his day.

SA FUREUR made up into a useful novice chaser last season, a campaign which culminated in this 7-y-o finishing a fine fourth in the Grand Annual at the Cheltenham Festival. He also put in a good shift when runner-up on return in a big-field handicap hurdle at Navan and is taken to go one better here. Adamantly Chosen is the pick of Paul Townend from five Willie Mullins-trained runners and he is feared most ahead of Miss Tempo.

Last season's Grand Annual fourth SA FUREUR should find this trip within his range and can build on a recent hurdles run at this venue

14:52 Navan Maiden Chase 21f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Grade 1 winner GOOD LAND should prove the one to beat if taking to fences on his return from an absence. The Blue Bresil gelding was forced to sit out last season with a tendon injury and connections will be keen to make up for lost time. He won at the top level at the Dublin Racing Festival in February 2023 before a solid run to finish fourth in the Ballymore Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham the following month. Ile Atlantique was placed twice at Grade 1 level last season and looks the obvious danger on his chase debut. Now Is The Hour will appreciate any rain and is another for the shortlist.

Lots of these bring potential, not least Willie Mullins' useful winning hurdler ILE ATLANTIQUE and he is taken to go in at the first time of asking over fences at the chief expense of form pick Dee Capo. Other chasing debutants Mahon's Way, Good Land and Chosen Witness also need factoring into this intriguing beginners chase along with Now Is The Hour and Backtonormal.

This can go the way of NOW IS THE HOUR, who is a Grade 2-winning hurdler and found the trip too sharp when second on his chasing bow

15:27 Navan NH Flat Race 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

HE CAN'T DANCE has missed a couple of engagements recently and this looks like a nice opportunity to make a winning start under Rules. The Jukebox Jury gelding cost 300,000 pounds after winning a point-to-point at Monksgrange in March and got a good mention in a recent stable tour of Gordon Elliott's yard. Coyote Spirit ran a nice race when sixth in a strong Punchestown bumper in early May and he could be the one to give the selection most to do. Jolie Folie, a half-sister to dual hurdle winner Major Barry, is a newcomer to note in the market.

Expensive point recruit HE CAN'T DANCE starts out under Rules in a bumper distinctly lacking depth and is fancied to prove tough to beat on debut for his leading yard. Jolie Folie makes appeal on paper for a yard no stranger to success with their runners in this sphere and she may emerge as the chief danger.

This lacks depth and it looks like a good opportunity for HE CAN'T DANCE, whose point form is already working out nicely

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.
