Navan Race 2 - Navanracecourse.ie Maiden Hurdle
KAINSBOURG (5) represents leading connections. First-up over hurdles placed 2.75L second at Limerick Boxing Day. Improvement expected. FORTY COATS (3) is yet to finish outside top two in four career starts. Placed second twice tackling hurdles including a 4.5L runner-up effort at Punchestown. Dangerous. DID I ASK YOU THAT (2) represents the best place chance after a good 10L third at Punchestown 55 days ago. Possibilities. BOSSOFTHEBROWNIES (1) rounds out the shortlist.

Second-up today. Last start finished fifth of 15 starters at Down Royal 4yo+ MHDLE on December 26 over 4023m, 13 len behind Air Of Entitlement with 71.5kg at $13. At only start last preparation didn't finish the race at Punchestown 4yo+ HDLE HCP on May 1 over 3922m. Definite chance. Worth including here if repeats the run.
