Navan Race 7 - Bective Restaurant Handicap
PLINY (2) made the frame when 1.5L second over 1609m on Dundalk reappearance earlier in the month before firmly being held next time at the same venue. Climbs in trip again and could bounce back with a bold showing. PALACE TYNE (7) was last seen seven-months-ago placing in a decent claiming maiden at this course. Now with the Padraig Roche stable and makes plenty of appeal first-up. GOLD FIND (1) climbs in trip delivering handicap debut and warrants a market check. DREOILIN (5) produced an eye-catching fourth of sixteen effort under in-form Declan McDonogh at the Curragh last time. Might feature.
