It wasn't a good end to the week with my tip Russian River coming 5th. The 13/2 shot led early but had dropped to 3rd by the final furlong. She made no further impression dropping two more places by the finish,To Glory the 9/4 favourite won by 5 1/2 lengths.
Navan kicks off the weekend with 8 races on Saturday where the feature is at 3.35 when 19 begin the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Median Auction Maiden. Hell Bent is a promising horse who was fifth on debut at Cork back in October, he returns after 165 days off and goes up in trip but should progress further here. Kailash was third in that same Cork race and went on to finish a very good second at The Curragh in November and is definitely the main challenger. Team Of Firsts is another good horse who was 2nd when last seen at Naas at the beginning of November he also finished 4th on debut here in October and should definitely improve in this one. The other to consider in a big field is Skilled Warrior who returned after a 203 day break to finish 3rd at Dundalk 29 days ago,he goes significantly up in trip here and should not be overlooked.
Big race prediction: 4: Hell Bent.
