Navan Race 4 - Bar One Racing For Auction Novice Hurdle (Grade 3)
I'LL SORT THAT (1) deserves his place in this grade having scored a novice hurdle at Galway in October getting home by 3L. Arrives seeking a fifth win in six starts and is the one to beat. ACE BRANNIGAN (2) won his novice comfortably at Tipperary forty days ago. Unexposed and rates a leading contender. MA JACKS HILL (3) finished second last time out attempting a novice hurdle at Galway. Not to be taken lightly. THEFLYINGKING (4) will be looking to get back on track after he fell in a maiden hurdle at Down Royal just over two weeks ago. Sure to make his presence felt and still holds plenty of potential.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. First-up to post a big 13 len win. Listowel on September 24 over 3218m defeating Wholelotofbusiness with 75.5kg at $2.10 in a hurdle. Second run from a spell favourite; won by 3 len Galway on October 26 over 4123m defeating Ma Jacks Hill carrying 74.5kg at $1.40 in a novice hurdle. Gets a chance to win. Looks well placed here and can make it three in a row.

Racing second-up today. Fresh up after eight months didn't finish the race at Down Royal on October 31 over 4526m. Previously second-up finished second of 7 runners at Fairyhouse on January 25 over 3218m, on slow going a neck behind I'll Sort That with 76kg at $2.20. Definite chance. In the mix if he is anywhere near right.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. Resuming finished second of 16 runners at this track on September 20 over 3218m, 2.5 len behind Ragmans Corner with 74kg at $13. Second run from a spell finished second in a small field at Tipperary in the G3 on October 5 over 3218m, 6 len behind Love Me Tender with 67kg at $7.50. Prefer to see her do a bit more.

Last to post a big 4.5 len win. Galway on October 27 over 2414m on heavy going defeating Cafe Con Leche carrying 58kg at $5.50. The run to post a big 6 len win. Sligo on October 24 over 3520m defeating Jaadil carrying 68kg at $7 in a hurdle. Warrants thought.
