18/1/25 Navan

 Friday's best came at Cork where Autoportrait was 2nd. The 6/5 shot was prominent early sitting 4th at halfway, he recovered from a slight mistake 3 out going 2nd soon after keeping on without reaching the winner The Story So Far who won by 1 1/2 lengths. Over at Dundalk Catch The Paddy was 7th in a race won by Exquisite Acclaim who beat Hightimeyouwon by 1/2 a length. 

 There are 7 races at Navan on Saturday where 2 stand out. 

12.00: Race Displays Rated Novice Hurdle. 

1: Ballygunner Castle: A lightly-raced horse who impressed when winning on hurdles debut at Fairyhouse 49 days ago. He recovered from being badly hampered to lead for a second time inside the final furlong staying on well to come home by 1 1/4 lengths. He should improve further here and complete a 4-timer before possibly moving onto Grade 1 company. 

1.10: Navan Handicap Hurdle. 

19: Blaze The Way: A decent horse who picked up a career best win on this course 34 days ago. He was 5th at halfway and despite coming under pressure 2 out he stayed on to lead on the run-in pulling away winning by 3 1/4 lengths. Despite a 7lb weight rise he has the ability to follow up here.
