After a day of no action on Saturday the weekend ends with an 8 race card at Navan where the standout contest is the 2.47 when 8 begin the Ladbrokes Ireland Boyne Hurdle. Beacon Edge is a smart horse who has won once over this races distance in his career that was at Galway back in October, his last run was a third in the Limestone Lad Hurdle at Naas 21 days ago he was unsuited by the drop in trip there but going back up to 2 miles 5 will suit. The obvious threat in the field is Fury Road who has picked up one win from two runs this season that was at Punchestown in November where he was a very good 3 1/2 lengths in front. His last run was 55 days ago at Leopardstown where he was 4th in the Christmas Hurdle and he has an excellent chance. All sentimental eyes will be on Tiger Roll who won this race in 2019 before going on to victory in the Grand National and his target is the April showpiece again. He was pulled up in his last race at Cheltenham 100 days ago but despite that this top-class chaser still has a very good chance.
Big race prediction: 2: Beacon Edge.
