On a very poor Wednesday Local Girl was 7th at Cork in a race won by Gypsy Woman the 11/4 favourite beat Vadiana by 1 1/2 lengths while over at Bellewstown Uhtred failed to finish. The 6/1 shot made some headway 2 out but was pulled up before the last, upfront Dartan beat Clifftop by an easy 6 1/2 lengths.
Navan stages eight races on Thursday where there are two highlights.
2.35: Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden.
2: Tourist: A decent colt who has shown useful form at Naas this year twice finishing second his latest being towards the end of May. He ran well leading until the final 100 yards losing to the excellent River Tiber by 2 1/2 lengths. Despite being off 102 days this looks like a good opportunity for him to go one better.
3.05: Irish Stallion Farms EBF Claiming Maiden.
2: Courageous Strike: A lightly-raced horse who found the step up to group level too much when fifth behind Henry Longfellow in the Futurity Stakes at The Curragh on his last outing 12 days ago. A line can be put through that performance and dropping back down in grade here can see him open his account.
