THE Tote Navan Novice Hurdle was added to this rescheduled meeting to form an eight-race card and Inthepocket enhanced his standing and remains unbeaten after holding on in a thrilling finish.

The two hurdles in the straight were omitted due to the low sun in this Grade 2 test where Gordon Elliott held a strong hand saddling three of the first four in the betting, but it was the Henry de Bromhead-trained 9/4 shot Inthepocket who travelled strongly to lead bypassing the normal second last.
