Navan Race 6 - Boyle Sports Webster Cup Chase (Grade 2)

FOUND A FIFTY (2) sets the benchmark. Two from three at the course and six from twelve under Jack Kennedy. Excels on testing ground. One to beat. JAMES DU BERLAIS (4) enters calculations after improving for second tackling the trip in a G2 at Thurles. Brings plenty of Group level placed form and rates an obvious danger. Stablemate SAINT SAM (3) returns after a three month absence having pulled up in the G2 Peterborough Chase at Huntingdon. Boasts a strong first-up record and is sure to make his presence felt. BETTER DAYS AHEAD (1) finished 2.5L second on reappearance here twenty-days-ago. Rates highly.

Having second run back today. First-up after 10 months finished second in a small field at this track in the G2 Boyne Hurdle on February 8 over 4425m, on heavy track; 2.5 len behind Staffordshire Knot with 71kg at $4.30. Previously second-up finished second in a small field at Leopardstown in the G1 Racing Post Novice Chase on December 26 2024 over 4928m, a head behind Croke Park with 74.5kg at $1.90. Still likely to struggle despite the size of the field.

Racing well. Last run finished third in a small field at Leopardstown in the G1 Dublin Chase on February 1 over 3419m, slow track; 19 len behind Majborough carrying 75.5kg at $11. Start before finished fourth of 7 starters at Leopardstown in the G1 Paddy's Reward Club Chase on December 27 over 3419m, 21 len behind Solness with 75.5kg at $5.50. Sure to improve again. Well-placed to take this out.

Resumes from a spell after having raced just once last campaign pulled up at Huntingdon in the G2 Peterborough Chase on December 7 over 4023m. When resuming last campaign finished second of 7 starters at Fairyhouse in the G2 on April 21 over 4023m, 0.8 len behind Found A Fifty carrying 74.5kg at $5. Confidence might be low and looks safely held.
