30/8/24 Wexford & Down Royal

 Thursday's winner at Navan was Runninsonofagun. The 9/4 shot made all the running travelling well from 2 out, he went clear soon after and despite having a reduced advantage inside the final furlong he kept on well beating Mighty Day by 3/4 of a length. In the other race Saratoga Special was 3rd with the contest going to Town And Country who beat Snapdragon by a head.

 A Friday double header sees 8 races at Wexford and 7 at Down Royal with 2 standing out. 

Wexford 6.15: Dan & Breda Byrne Memorial Rated Novice Chase. 

2: Common Practice: A useful hurdler who impressed when picking up a career best win on chase debut here last month. He was 4th at halfway making headway into 2nd entering the straight, he led from 2 out going clear at the last and coming home by 8 lengths. He returns to this sphere after finishing 3rd on the flat 2 weeks ago and can win again.

Down Royal 6.25: Pepsico (Walkers Snacks) Hurdle. 

3: Run For Oscar: A decent horse who has been running well this summer and won on hurdles return at Kilbeggan 20 days ago. He led after the 9th having a 2 length advantage at the last, he stayed on well comfortably winning by 6 1/2 lengths. He should go well again here and follow up.
