On Friday at Dundalk Jered Maddox was 2nd, the 100/30 shot was 5th at halfway improving from 2 out. He challenged a furlong from the finish keeping on in the closing stages just failing to reach the winner Stardayz who came home by a short head. In the other race Markievicz was a poor 9th, the 9/1 shot was always towards the rear making no impression inside the final furlong. Harbanaker won the contest beating French Rescue by 1/2 a length.
If a 7.30am inspection is passed then a top-class weekend will begin with 7 races at Navan on Saturday with 2 standing out.
12.00: Welcome Back To Navan Racecourse Rated Novice Hurdle.
4: Spirit Of Legend: Won by a good 1 1/4 lengths on hurdles debut here in November before finishing 2nd on his first handicap start at Leopardstown last month. That useful performance shows there is definitely more to come and that he can quickly get back to winning ways.
1.07: Navan Handicap Hurdle (Grade B)
4: Drop The Anchor: Was much improved when winning on handicap debut at Naas 76 days ago. He beat some useful horses that day including My Mate Mozzie and Powerful Aggie keeping on well in the closing stages. He switches from the flat to hurdles here and has a good chance on form, back in this sphere he can follow up.
