Johnny Ward's Saturday Tips: Three selections from Navan
By Racing TV
Last Updated: Fri 4 Sep 2026
Our top tipster has three selections for Saturday's action from Navan, live on Racing TV.
2.35 Navan: The Love Machine
Seán Davis is a colourful guy, quite adept at impressions, and he is unusual in that he trains horses and rides for other yards on the same card, such as at Navan.
He ran two horses at Sligo a month ago and I tipped up one, who flopped, while the other landed a big gamble.
The Love Machine has dropped from a rating of 70 when he got the horse off Mick Mulvaney and is a whopping 7lb lower again after Sligo, bringing him down to 42.
His only win was when bolting up at Navan late last year, so I have to go in again.

2.35 Navan: Irish Rumour
A course-and-distance winner, she appeals a great deal each-way here given the strike-rate of Orla Tynan (an incredible 14 per cent).
Everything looks in place for a big run.
4.55 Navan: Tickle The Cat
I tipped this horse at Tramore and drew some hope after interviewing her trainer pre-race but she still went off 25-1.
She went from looking a certainty to place at worst to finishing second-last after seeming to stumble badly coming into the final bend.
Coleman was worried the track might not have suited then and duly found probably the least similar track in Ireland here. Major each-way appeal. Today’s nap.
