Chosen Port
Watching brief
Lost a shoe in listed race behind some good sorts.

Southwell

Chosen port watching brief
Good third and front running leader until joined final furlong.
Navan 155
Some obvious claims here but two hit my radar.
Excelsior
for Gordon Elliott has shown little in two runs but given normal improvement may belie his odds.
Ahead Of The Field
Chased home a Mullins tarter at a respectable distance last time.
JCG rides and his skills and claim will be useful and this one entitled to follow up this time.
Both each way

[sporting sam]

Ahead of the field a good winner today following his second last time and although he was some 30 lengths back that day he looked good to follow up in due course. At time of writing 10/1 was still available but the books have shortened him tightly to an SP of 5/1. Excelsior ran well and should be kept onside.

Navan 225
Silvertown

King Arthur’s sword
Not without problems lost action last time and flat career end in similar fashion. But had raced with Galileo chrome and more expected soon.

Figures3-2111-414
Bigbadandbeautiful win.
A three time bumper winner before returning to the flat in the summer of last year to win his maiden. Gained an 81 rating.
four wins under rules already should hold few fears if able to jump one.
Reflected in odds on price.
But really needs to be winning here.
Newtown Pery each way
Can frank the form of his run latest behind Five helmets by following him home

[sporting sam]

Newtown Pery couldn’t keep up to his work but all too easy for Bigbadandbeautiful despite the poor commentary who went off at decent odds plenty of oaps around the land thought they’d done thier dosh there as he wasn’t mentioned in despatches until the end. Making hard work of selections today but they are winning easily. Evens a good unexpected price.
Next up a non Trier last time who should have more to offer today

[sporting sam]

4.00 Navan
Tango Theatre each way
Aragon. Each way
TT
Was pulled up by the stewards after finishing fourth to light brigade one that ended up being very lightly treated on handicap debut.
Jockey stated his instructions had been taken too literally and had let the field get away thus failing to place despite a strong finish.
The report didn’t detail any punishment although it concluded rules had been broken.
Aragon has a long absence to contend with but showed hints of ability in his two outings.
Expectations are not high here so small stakes

[sporting sam]

Navan 4 30

Presenting Dylan win
Hazran each way
Reverse forecast
PD
Can frank the form of light brigades recent win in which he was third.
Bythesametoken went on to boost that form and JCG can again put his form and claim to good use.
Hazran
Beat
Homme D’un Soir in the Autumn who then went on a great run finishing behind Cape Gentleman before winning last week for this thread. Hazran has had lots of problems since, and seems likely to be seen to much better effect in handicaps which begin today. Hazran beat five helmets by 60 lengths in a maiden hurdle.

Hazran 2nd @ 20/1 a very good handicap debut five helmets spoiled the party!!

Boghlone Honey
Tech Talk
Benefit north
Combination tricast /forecast
5pm. Navan

Tech talk now gets the chance to frank form of second to five helmets who used handicap mark and progression to turnaround maiden deficit with Hazran.
