Navan Race 3 - Irish Stallion Farms EBF Committed Stakes (Listed)
CHARLES DARWIN (1) has been off the track since delivering an impressive victory in the 1005m G2 Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot during June. Looks capable of conceding weight to his rivals and resume with a win. KINDERGARTEN (6) debuted with a 0.75L success contesting a 1207m maiden at Navan in October. Bold show expected. FRESCOBALDI (3) gets a chance to shine making his first appearance since recording a 2.75L third in the 1408m Listed Star Appeal Stakes at Dundalk during October. SILK BRAID (7) debuted with a 2.5L success competing in a 1207m maiden at The Curragh last October. Notable contender making seasonal debut.
