An excellent day at Navan on Saturday saw both my picks win, in the Grade 3 Blood Destiny was 2nd early taking the lead after 3 out. He went clear approaching the last staying on strongly on the run-in easily beating Spillane's Tower by 6 1/2 lengths. The days Grade 2 saw Ash Tree Meadow make all the running and despite not being fluent at the 8th he recovered to go clear from 2 out. The 7/2 shot travelled well on the run-in beating Lucid Dreams by 3 1/4 lengths.
Leopardstown stages 7 races on Sunday where there are 2 features.
1.40: Connolly's Red Mills Irish EBF Auction Novice Hurdle.
4: Captain Cody: A useful horse who was an easy 10 length winner on hurdles debut at Gowran Park in January building on that with an excellent second at Naas 22 days ago. He was 4th at halfway taking 2nd inside the final furlong keeping on well. He is a decent prospect who can resume winning ways here.
4.00: Quinnbet Handicap Chase.
3: Now Where Or When: A decent hurdles and chase winner who impressed when 3rd behind Kemboy in the Bobbyjo Chase at Fairyhouse a year ago. He didn't push on as expected when pulled up in the Irish National on his final start of last season and needed the run on his return at Navan when fifth in November. He will be fitter after that and should go well back in handicap company just making him the pick.
