THE racing in Ireland last weekend was run-of-the-mill, but it offered decent opportunities for smaller yards to get among the winners, especially at Navan last Sunday where the Irish Stallion Farms EBF-sponsored card presented a pick’n’mix of handicaps over every trip and discipline.

Martin Hassett had a fine handicap chase double with Battle Of Ridgeway and Soloman Lane while Oh My Word lived up to his name to land the Listed Future Champions Bumper, stepping up on a course-and-distance win back at the Navan Racing Festival.
