On Friday my pick Juncture won. The 10/11 favourite challenged from 1 1/2 furlongs out and led soon after. She quickened to move clear in the closing stages comfortably beating Morning Soldier by 6 lengths.
Eight races at Navan begin a busy weekend where the highlight is the 3.58 when 6 line-up for the Grade 3 Flyingbolt Novice Chase. Gentleman De Mee is a promising horse who got off the mark over fences at Thurles last month. He won in fine style by 34 lengths and should take the step up in class here in his stride making him the one to beat. Velvet Elvis is a useful chaser who was a good 3rd in a chase on this course when last seen 77 days ago. He should improve further and with better days ahead of him he is a threat. The other shortlisted is Grange Walk who has 3 wins from 12 runs this season his last was at Leopardstown in December. He returned there to be a good 2nd in a handicap chase 28 days ago and he should continue his good form here. Of the rest look out for Fancy Foundations who's latest win came at Sligo in September. He was a below form fifth on this course in early December so needs to get back on track but still can't be discounted.
Big race prediction: 2: Gentleman De Mee.
