Navan Race 2 - Ardboyne Hotel Mdn
INSTITUTE (9) has been absent since finishing sixth beaten 2.25L attempting a 1400m Curragh handicap and is the highest-rated runner in the contest. Previous juvenile seconds command respect. Sets the standard. COOL AZUL (2) drops back into maiden company after contesting a premier handicap at the Curragh. Earlier runner-up efforts read well. Main danger. HASITA (8) finished only 1L away when fourth tackling 1400m at Fairyhouse and has made the frame three times. Maintains appeal. TREK HOME (5) finished fourth all three outings to date including when defeated 3.5L at the Curragh most recently. Consistent profile warrants consideration. Not discounted.

Had two starts to date. At very long odds at debut, ran last of 16 at Limerick on June 19 over 1408m, on a slow track; 41 len behind Motta Alta with 62.5kg at $301. Last start ran last of 8 at Bellewstown on July 3 over 1005m, 13 len behind Focaccia with 61kg at $151. Doesn't look one of the major players.

Second run back. First-up after eight months 10th of 16 at Limerick on June 19 over 1408m, slow going 11 len behind Motta Alta with 61kg at $9. Previously second-up ran on strongly from last on the turn; 3rd of 12 at Curragh on October 16 over 1207m, 3.5 len behind Silk Braid carrying 57kg at $81. Will benefit from that run and is sure to be thereabouts.
