Although Navan has been abandoned, we still have a competitive card at Thurles to look forward to today, live on Racing TV, and I have two fancies at the Irish venue. Best of luck.
12.44 Thurles: Indiana Jones
Johnny Ward
Finished: 4thSP: 13/2
A half-brother to French Dynamite, this horse took my breath away at Thurles in the ring. He jumped far better and he's good enough to win this if his stamina lasts out.
2.14 Thurles: The Model Kingdom
Johnny Ward
Finished: 3rdSP: 5/4
A smart performer and it's hard to think this race is any better than the novice event she won easily last time, trouncing the smart Halibut. I make her an odds-on chance.
1.00 Navan: Carnfunnock
1.30 Navan: Maxxum
2.30 Navan: Carrig Sam
3.00 Navan: Routine Excellence
