Navan Race 4 - Navan Racecourse Maiden Hurdle
HAVEANOTHERTRY (3) goes handicapping after a better performance last time out at Leopardstown on soft ground. Should find life a lot easier now switching to this grade and looks the one to beat. CHAMPAGNE VENTURE (8) now has cheekpieces fitted for the first time and has been set some tough tasks of late. Freshened up and entitled to go close. FLY AWAY HOME (9) was making progress last time out at Leopardstown before unseating her rider two hurdles for home. Needs to improve but it's still early days. LORD TOBIN (4) has looked out of her depth in maiden hurdles. A better performance cannot be ruled out.

Third-up today. First-up finished fourth of 14 starters at Punchestown on January 12 over 3922m, 7 len behind Shabby Hill carrying 75.5kg at $8.50. Last start finished fourth of 21 starters at Naas on February 22 over 3118m, on a wet track; 29 len behind Star Of The Week carrying 75.5kg at $12. Sure to improve again. Right in the mix if anywhere near his best.
