UK Horse Racing Tips: Navan

TEUCHTERS GLORY, who defeated Lucky Lyreen in a Limerick bumper earlier in the year, sets the standard with an official rating of 125. The son of Fame And Glory is expected to build on a promising second at Cork and open his account over hurdles, although the aforementioned looks a big danger for his leading yard. Spread Boss Ted weakened late on over 2m3f at Naas last time, but he could fare better now dropped in trip.
Prediction : 1st Teuchters Glory 2nd Lucky Lyreen 3rd Spread Boss Ted

Gordon Elliott saddles four here, of which Find A Fortune would appear to be his main hope judged on jockey bookings, but Willie Mullins landed this prize last year and is fancied to do so once again with DANCING CITY. The Wexford bumper winner was far from disgraced on his hurdling bow last month, having been well supported, so it would come as no surprise to see an improved performance with that experience under his belt. Nas Na Riogh is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Dancing City 2nd Find A Fortune 3rd Nas Na Riogh

SHANNON ROYALE won a Clonmel bumper that has worked out well and has progressed with each run over hurdles this term. He was trying to give Lecky Watson 8lb at Thurles before fitted with cheek pieces when bolting up in a 2m6f maiden at Punchestown. A mark of 130 may underestimate his ability. Harvard Guy won over C&D last month while others to consider include Lord Erskine, third to Espanito Bello in a similar handicap at Naas last month, and Carnfunnock. Clarens completed a hat-trick on varying ground conditions over two years ago and has returned to form this term including when runner-up to the gambled-on Fortunedefortunata here last month. It will be interesting to see how he copes with this extra half-mile. Natural Look won over fences at Galway last time and now reverts to hurdles off a lower mark.
Prediction : 1st Shannon Royale 2nd Lord Erskine 3rd Clarens

This can go the way of READ TO RETURN, who has been in fine form this season and ran with credit on his return to this sphere at Fairyhouse earlier in the month. A mark of 99 still looks manageable, and he is preferred to Blossom De Mai, who got off the mark with a determined success at Tramore and should not be inconvenienced by dropping back in trip. Lets Do This is a player based on the pick of his form, while Golden Nugget and Ivar The Boneless are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Read To Return 2nd Blossom De Mai 3rd Lets Do This

LUCID DREAMS sets the standard on form following a career-best effort when second in the Craddockstown last month. The eight-year-old has clearly taken well to the larger obstacles and going up in trip looks a good move at this stage, with heavy ground of no concern either. Joyeux Machin is a key player on the back of the back of a strong effort in Listed company at Wexford, while Donacheady Gale could be the one for third if Sa Fureur takes up his engagement at Fairyhouse on Saturday rather than here.
Prediction : 1st Lucid Dreams 2nd Joyeux Machin 3rd Donacheady Gale

WEE CHARLIE has made steady progress since beginning his career over fences in October, and his most recent effort at Tramore when just outstayed on the run-in, screamed of a winner waiting to happen. He can go one better on the drop in trip, with course winner Misty Hollow looking best placed to chase him home on his first run since March. Hardwired is a big player under these conditions, having won over further on his penultimate start, while Rolly Bowley Boy is another finding his way in this sphere.
Prediction : 1st Wee Charlie 2nd Misty Hollow 3rd Hardwired

Given he was a close second in the Champion Bumper at last year's Punchestown Festival, Redemption Day boasts the strongest form and is considered despite this being his first start for 599 days. However, this is a race littered with potential and JALON D'OUDAIRIES, a 420,000-pounds recruit after he won his sole start on the point-to-point sphere, is just preferred with his match fitness proven after comfortably landing a Fairyhouse bumper 15 days ago. Open to any amount of progression, he is a highly appealing horse for Gordon Elliott to go to war with this season. The selection's stablemate The Enabler and previous C&D winner Springt De La Mare are a couple of others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Jalon Doudairies 2nd Redemption Day 3rd The Enabler
