12/3/22 Navan

 Friday's pick No Trouble was 3rd. The 4/1 shot sat 4th 4 out dropping a place when switching to the right 2 out. He went 3rd early in the final furlong keeping on at one pace. At the front Dances With Stars beat Jake Peter by 1 3/4 lengths. 

 There are 8 races at both Gowran Park and Navan to kick off the weekend and the highlight of the day is the 4.00 at Navan where 6 start the Grade 2 Webster Cup Chase. Master McShee is a very smart chaser who was 2nd to Galopin Des Champs in a Grade 1 novice chase at Leopardstown when last seen 34 days ago. He goes back down in trip here and should return to winning ways. Sizing Pottsie is a course and distance winner who looked back on track when second in the Red Mills Chase at Gowran Park 3 weeks ago. That performance puts this good horse firmly in the mix. The other one to respect is Castlegrace Paddy who was a creditable 3rd in a handicap chase at Fairyhouse on his last outing 62 days ago. He is also another course and distance winner who definitely can’t be ruled out. There are 2 others in the field with a good chance, Cilaos Emery was last seen unseating his rider in the Irish Gold Cup at Leopardstown in early February. He goes down in trip so shouldn't be overlooked neither should Notebook. He was a below form 3rd to Allaho in the Kinloch Brae chase at Thurles 48 days ago so needs to bounce back. 

Big race prediction: 1: Master McShee.
