The Irish Angle: Johnny Ward's four best Navan bets on Wednesday
By Johnny Ward
Last Updated: Tue 1 Sep 2026
Top presenter and tipster Johnny Ward shares four selections from Navan, with all races live on Racing TV.
4.38 Navan: Amerilis (E/W)
A remarkably expensive yearling given the price of the sire, she is obviously a big girl so the weight is no issue and she looked to be getting going as a sprinter at Cork, when she made a mockery of her mark.
That was the first time she really finished her race and, while her trainer seemed to express a doubt after Cork about Navan suiting, she obviously is happy to go again.
Lots of each-way appeal.
5.08 Navan: Timurshah
The improvement of this horse hurdling has been staggering and he looks ready to exploit a mark of 73 based on (admittedly pleasing) Flat runs in 2024.

6.10 Navan: Chou Chou (E/W)
A winner this month last year, the booking of Colin Keane and the Gowran run both suggest his time is nigh.
This looks a poor race so he makes plenty of appeal each-way.
7.10 Navan: Marmeladova
It is still a bit unknown what her ideal trip is, but I really like the big field, the stiff mile and Billy Lee.
She is only 1 lb higher than when she won at Leopardstown, travelling like a good thing then.
