UK Horse Racing Tips: Navan

There was just half a length splitting Final List and DEBUCHET when second and third respectively in an extended 2m6f maiden at Thurles recently and that pair can fight it out for major honours today, with the latter, who is 1lb better off on this occasion, taken to reverse the form. Ontheiflist, touched off on the Flat on his latest outing 339 days ago, also merits consideration with Cheltenham Festival-winning jockey Rachael Blackmore in the plate.
Prediction : 1st Debuchet 2nd Final List 3rd Ontheiflist

SERIOUS EGO was a seriously impressive winner over this trip at Leopardstown and although a 13lb hike in the ratings will obviously make life a lot tougher, he will take some stopping if arriving in the same mood. Sil Ver Klass is just 1lb higher than when runner-up in the aforementioned contest and he should give another good account, while all-the-way Leopardstown scorer Cliff House and Prospectus, representing Champion Hurdle-winning trainer Gavin Cromwell, are just a couple more with claims in a competitive handicap.
Prediction : 1st Serious Ego 2nd Sil Ver Klass 3rd Prospectus

Gordon Elliott saddled the winner of this event 12 months ago and he appears to have another cracking chance with MILAN NATIVE this time around. He is the least exposed of these with only three runs under his belt and stepping up from 2m can see him build on his latest third-placed effort in Grade 2 company at Naas. The consistent Caravation impressed over 2m here last time and is likely to be in the shake-up again, while Fairyhouse winner Chavi Artist also warrants respect.
Prediction : 1st Milan Native 2nd Caravation 3rd Chavi Artist

The ground could be plenty soft enough for Punchestown Festival winners Cadmium and Woodland Opera, but the 151 and 154-rated performers are respected all the same. However, in receipt of 5lb, DARASSO could prove a tough nut to crack. The six-year-old has won multiple times on similarly testing ground in France and it was difficult not to be impressed by the manner of his Grade 3 hurdles success at Gowran latest, form which was boosted with the fourth, Coeur Sublime, subsequently finishing runner-up in the Triumph Hurdle.
Prediction : 1st Darasso 2nd Cadmium 3rd Woodland Opera

MON LINO returned to form when fourth over hurdles behind subsequent Martin Pipe runner-up Dallas Des Pictons last month and that looked to boost his confidence ahead of an easy win at Naas three weeks ago. A mark of 123 doesn't look beyond the seven-year-old and he can strike again under Mark Walsh. Exactoris has some solid form in the book and warrants plenty of respect for Joseph O'Brien, while Stowaway Forever and veteran Lilshane are others to take seriously.
Prediction : 1st Mon Lino 2nd Exactoris 3rd Lilshane

ALL THE CHIMNEYS has been a model of consistency so far this season and looks capable of further success here. The 10-year-old has been raised another 7lb by the handicapper for an easy win at Thurles last month, but showed no signs of stopping on that occasion and could prove too strong for this field. Seskin Flyer has a similar profile and has to be respected, while Customer and Bilbo Bagins are other names worthy of consideration.
Prediction : 1st All The Chimneys 2nd Seskin Flyer 3rd Customer

Willie Mullins has had a quiet season with bumper runners by his standards and the Gold Cup-winning trainer is fancied to unleash plenty of smart prospects this spring. The first of them could well be THE BIG GETAWAY, who won a point-to-point easily 12 months ago before being purchased for 230,000 pounds. His dam is out of the family of Dawn Run and this five-year-old could have a big future in the sport. Axiomatic looks the pick of four Gigginstown House Stud runners, while Fiddlerontheroof and Lucky Ranger could go well at likely each-way prices.
Prediction : 1st The Big Getaway 2nd Axiomatic 3rd Fiddlerontheroof
