FINN McCool's previous experience helped him break his duck in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF (C&G) Maiden at Navan.

The Aidan O'Brien-trained 10-11 favourite took the lead from stable companion The Eagle with more than two furlongs to go and he was soon challenged by strong-travelling newcomer Harbour Beacon. However, Finn McCool knew what was required of him and ran right the way to the line for Donnacha O'Brien to see off Harbour Beacon by half a length.
