This preview delivers race-by-race Navan predictions, live odds snapshots (best prices at time of pull), and a course-specialist section built from runners’ historic Navan performance. Navan racecourse guide
Going & Conditions
The going is HEAVY (turf) across the card. With 7 races all on the same surface/going, stamina and resilience become non-negotiable; it also increases the value of horses with proven Navan effectiveness, because today’s race-by-race pace and finishing speed will be more attritional than “standard” turf conditions.

14:18 – Return Of The Flat At Navan Handicap
Race Details: 1280y | Going: HEAVY | Race Type: Flat | Field: 15
This is a big-field handicap on heavy ground where market confidence matters because many in here have modest Navan win records. The early exchange of prices shows a clear pecking order: Exceeding is best-priced around 11/4–5/2 and sits at the top of the market. From a Navan profile angle, the most interesting “course evidence” comes from Half Nutz (1 win from 5 at Navan) and Polar Bear (50% place-rate from 4). The race also features a nap selection elsewhere in the media for Never Shout Never, but his Navan record from the course-stats filter is 0 wins from 3.
Top Selections
1. Exceeding — 11/4 (3.75) ⭐
Jockey: Andrew Slattery | Trainer: Andrew Slattery
Form: 0766-2 | RPR: 63 | Topspeed: 34
Draw: 2 | Weight: 131
Market leader at the time of pulling odds, and the profile is consistent for this grade: official rating 63 and a recent 2 on the form line. In a heavy-ground handicap with a big field, a low draw can help secure position early; Exceeding has draw 2. The one negative is that today’s course-stats list (min 3 runs at Navan) does not include Exceeding, so we’re not leaning on course win-rate here—this is a price-and-profile selection rather than a “Navan specialist” angle.
Recommended bet: Win
2. Polar Bear — 15/2 (8.5)
Jockey: Shane Foley | Trainer: Mrs John Harrington
Form: 94/00- | RPR: 60 | Topspeed: 36
Draw: 5 | Weight: 141
Not a Navan winner (0/4), but he places often here: 2 places from 4 for a 50.00% place-rate in today’s course-stats set. That matters on heavy ground where track familiarity can keep a horse competitive even if it lacks a finishing kick. Foley is also a strong Navan rider in the wider jockey list at 11.76% wins (64/544) and 33.64% places.
Recommended bet: Each-way (place-heavy profile)
3. Half Nutz — 14/1 (15.0)
Jockey: E E Ryan | Trainer: James M Barcoe
Form: 04607- | RPR: 64 | Topspeed: 56
Draw: 13 | Weight: 126
The purest course angle in the field: 1 win from 5 at Navan (20.00%) plus 40.00% placed. In a handicap with limited course winners on show, that strike-rate stands out. He is also well-backed in places markets historically at this venue (2 places). Odds imply he’s an outsider, but his Navan numbers are superior to many similarly-priced rivals.
Recommended bet: Each-way

| Never Shout Never | 18/1 | 16/1 | 16/1 | 14/1 | 18/1 |
Betting Strategy
Win angle: Exceeding as the clear market barometer. Each-way angle: Half Nutz is the best “course win-rate” play in the field (20% wins at Navan) and offers bigger upside. Place/solid option: Polar Bear brings a 50% Navan place-rate. Dangers at prices: Alnofoor and Happy Henry are single-figure odds but do not appear on the min-runs course list, so treat as non-course angles.

14:48 – Vintage Crop Raceday April 25th (C & G) Maiden
Race Details: 1720y | Going: HEAVY | Race Type: Flat | Field: 15
The market has this as a two-horse fight early: Shaftesbury Avenue is strong at 13/8–7/4 and State Of Wyoming sits close at 15/8–2/1. With plenty of unraced/low-data profiles in the field (several runners have null topspeed/ratings), the safest approach is to anchor on the best-rated and best-backed horses. Notably, this race attracts multiple naps for Shaftesbury Avenue, reinforcing its position as the card’s clearest “consensus” horse from the available tip data.
Top Selections
1. Shaftesbury Avenue — 7/4 (2.75) ⭐
Jockey: Wayne Lordan | Trainer: A P O’Brien
Form: 3 | RPR: 56 | Topspeed: 35
Draw: 11 | Weight: 131
He’s the clear market leader and also lines up for a trainer with elite Navan results: A P O’Brien has a 24.90% win-rate at Navan (127/510) and a 51.37% place-rate among today’s trainers-with-stats. Lordan is also a proven Navan jockey at 11.03% wins (15/136). On a heavy-ground maiden full of unknowns, this combination is the strongest data-supported foundation.
Recommended bet: Win
2. State Of Wyoming — 15/8 (2.88)
Jockey: W J Lee | Trainer: P Twomey
Form: n/a | RPR: n/a | Topspeed: n/a
Draw: 5 | Weight: 131
The key is the stable’s Navan efficiency: P Twomey leads today’s trainer table by win-rate at 27.27% (6/22) with a massive 59.09% place-rate. Lee brings substantial Navan volume with 430 rides and 11.86% wins. Even with limited horse-level form data in the card feed, the connections are the strongest statistical signal behind the favourite.
Recommended bet: Win / saver forecast with the favourite
3. Tashakour — 6/1 (7.0)
Jockey: Ben Coen | Trainer: J P Murtagh
Form: 67- | RPR: 77 | Topspeed: 66
Draw: 12 | Weight: 131
Best on raw ratings/topspeed in this field: RPR 77 and Topspeed 66 are the strongest published numbers among runners with complete data. Murtagh is a positive Navan trainer profile at 12.11% wins (27/223). If the two at the top underperform in testing ground, Tashakour is the most obvious “numbers horse” to capitalise.
Recommended bet: Each-way (price-dependent)
Live Odds Comparison
| Horse | Bet365 | Paddy Power | William Hill | Betfair | Best Odds |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shaftesbury Avenue | 7/4 | 13/8 | 8/5 | 13/8 | 7/4 |

| Tashakour | 13/2 | 6/1 | 6/1 | 11/2 | 13/2 |
Betting Strategy
Primary play is Shaftesbury Avenue win: strongest market + trainer strike-rate at Navan. For value, Tashakour has the top published speed/ratings and can be played each-way if terms are favourable. Straight forecast: Shaftesbury Avenue / State Of Wyoming.

15:18 – Cusack Hotel Group Family Fun Day July 11th Handicap
Race Details: 3080y | Going: HEAVY | Race Type: Flat | Field: 12
A staying handicap on heavy ground puts extra weight on stamina and track craft. The market has Kizlyar favourite at around 11/4–5/2, but there are two standout Navan angles in the field: Dawn Rising is a course winner with 33.33% wins at Navan (1/3), while Zoffman has an elite reliability profile with a 100% Navan place-rate (4/4). This race also features a nap for Kizlyar elsewhere, but the best “proven Navan” play is Dawn Rising by strike-rate.
Top Selections
1. Dawn Rising — 13/2 (7.5) ⭐
Jockey: Gary Halpin | Trainer: Joseph Patrick O’Brien
Form: 00452- | RPR: 106 | Topspeed: 97
Draw: 3 | Weight: 142
The best mix of class and Navan win evidence in the race: 1 win from 3 at Navan (33.33%). He also carries the strongest published performance numbers here with Topspeed 97 and a high rating 106. O’Brien is a solid Navan operator at 13.65% wins (34/249). On heavy over a staying trip, the ability to keep finding matters; Dawn Rising’s combination of ratings + course win-rate is the strongest data-led case.
Recommended bet: Win
2. Zoffman — 13/2 (7.5)
Jockey: Reese Holohan | Trainer: Noel Meade
Form: 48070- | RPR: 104 | Topspeed: 97
Draw: 11 | Weight: 121
If you want a place machine, this is it: 4 places from 4 at Navan (100.00%), and an excellent average finishing position of 2.75 at the course. He’s also proven by the clock (Topspeed 97) and comes from a yard with significant Navan output: Noel Meade sits at 9.37% wins (59/630) and 41.11% places.
Recommended bet: Each-way / place-focused
3. Kizlyar — 5/2 (3.5)
Jockey: Declan McDonogh | Trainer: Joseph Patrick O’Brien
Form: 321- | RPR: 91 | Topspeed: n/a
Draw: 1 | Weight: 133
The favourite with a prime draw 1 and a progressive form string (321-). While he doesn’t appear in today’s “3+ Navan runs” horse table, the market makes him the benchmark. McDonogh is a mid-single-digit Navan winner (7.86%), which is credible at this venue. Use as a saver or in forecasts with Dawn Rising/Zoffman rather than as a pure “course specialist” pick.
Recommended bet: Win saver / forecast

Betting Strategy
Win bet: Dawn Rising (best blend of ratings + 33.33% Navan win-rate). Each-way: Zoffman based on a perfect 4/4 place record at Navan. Forecast/Exacta: Dawn Rising with Kizlyar/Zoffman. Dangers: the favourite Kizlyar is the obvious one if class prevails.

15:48 – Enjoy Hospitality At Navan Racecourse Handicap
Race Details: 3080y | Going: HEAVY | Race Type: Flat | Field: 12
Another staying handicap, and the market is dominated by Grann’s Boy at around 7/4–2/1. From a course-stat standpoint, he does qualify on experience (4 runs at Navan), but he’s still a 0-time winner here. The key angle is that this race contains two horses with strong course place profiles: Grann’s Boy is 50% placed at Navan (2/4), while the wider yard of H Rogers (also represented) is a high-volume Navan operator (269 runners, 13 wins).
Top Selections
1. Grann’s Boy — 7/4 (2.75) ⭐
Jockey: Adam Caffrey | Trainer: H Rogers
Form: 570/1- | RPR: 69 | Topspeed: 30
Draw: 1 | Weight: 132
The favourite and has two solid data levers: a good draw (1) and a 50% Navan place-rate (2 places from 4). Caffrey has a decent Navan profile in the jockey list at 8.11% wins (6/74). The caution: he’s 0 wins at Navan, so for short odds you’re buying reliability more than proven course finishing power.
Recommended bet: Win (market anchor) / Forecast
2. Bhean Saibhre — 11/2 (6.5)
Jockey: Jack Cleary | Trainer: Aidan Anthony Howard
Form: 99/23- | RPR: 69 | Topspeed: 49
Draw: 9 | Weight: 119
Solid second-favourite in the market cluster and brings a workable profile for a heavy-ground handicap: competitive rating (69) with a recent 23 on the form line. Howard as a Navan trainer sits at 8.05% wins (7/87), and Cleary is a 10.53% winner at Navan (4/38), albeit with a lower 18.42% place-rate.
Recommended bet: Each-way
3. You Make Me Smile — 11/2 (6.5)
Jockey: Chris Hayes | Trainer: P A Fahy
Form: 78821- | RPR: 67 | Topspeed: 56
Draw: 2 | Weight: 127
Second in the betting band and also has a good draw (2) for positioning. Hayes has a sizeable Navan sample at 7.85% wins (19/242). Fahy has a 7.37% Navan win-rate (7/95). Not a listed course-specialist in today’s min-runs horse table, so this is more a market/connection/value pick than a “Navan record” play.
Recommended bet: Each-way

| You Make Me Smile | 11/2 | 5/1 | 5/1 | 5/1 | 11/2 |
Betting Strategy
Win bet: Grann’s Boy (draw 1 + 50% Navan place-rate). Each-way alternatives: Bhean Saibhre or You Make Me Smile if you want to oppose at bigger prices. Forecast: Grann’s Boy with Bhean Saibhre/You Make Me Smile. Dangers: Earthsong is prominent in the market at around 13/2 but lacks course-stat inclusion.
16:18 – Irish Stallion Farms EBF Median Auction Maiden (Smullen Series)
Race Details: 2200y | Going: HEAVY | Race Type: Flat | Field: 13
Maiden over a middle distance in heavy ground with a tight early market around Karrygrant (11/4) and Hippology / Trojan Fighter close behind. The strongest data angle is connections: J P Murtagh is a 12.11% Navan winner and has multiple runners on the card. With plenty of runners carrying null topspeed/ratings, the market plus trainer strike-rates are the safest anchors.
Top Selections
1. Karrygrant — 11/4 (3.75) ⭐
Jockey: Ben Coen | Trainer: J P Murtagh
Form: 2- | RPR: 81 | Topspeed: 54
Draw: 6 | Weight: 134
Top on the published rating in the field (81) among runners with complete information, and the market supports him. Murtagh’s Navan record (trainer) is 27 wins from 223 (12.11%). Coen is a reliable Navan operator at 10.71% wins (18/168). In a heavy-ground maiden, that combination of rating + connections is a strong data-led foundation.
Recommended bet: Win
2. Hippology — 3/1 (4.0)
Jockey: Declan McDonogh | Trainer: Joseph Patrick O’Brien
Form: 5- | RPR: 69 | Topspeed: 24
Draw: 5 | Weight: 134
O’Brien’s Navan yard strikes at 13.65% (34/249) and places at 41.77%. McDonogh is a 7.86% Navan winner. With a single run shown, the selection is market-driven and stable-driven more than performance-by-numbers (lower topspeed than the favourite).
Recommended bet: Win saver
3. Trojan Fighter — 3/1 (4.0)
Jockey: W J Lee | Trainer: P Twomey
Form: n/a | RPR: n/a | Topspeed: n/a
Draw: 13 | Weight: 134
Trainer angle is elite for Navan: P Twomey leads today’s trainer stats at 27.27% wins and 59.09% places. The wide draw (13) is a small negative for position, but this is a price justified by stable efficiency at the track plus a top-level jockey with a big Navan sample (Lee: 51 wins from 430, 11.86%).
Recommended bet: Win

Win bet: Karrygrant (top published rating + strong Navan trainer/jockey stats). Forecast: Karrygrant with Trojan Fighter/Hippology. Each-way is less attractive in a competitive, condensed market; if playing value, take the best available win price.

16:48 – Book Your Navan Summer BBQ Packages Apprentice Handicap
Race Details: 2200y | Going: HEAVY | Race Type: Flat | Field: 14
This is a deep apprentice handicap with Lady Plimsoll heading the market at around 3/1–7/2. From a trainer-stat viewpoint, her handler M D O’Callaghan is one of the most efficient Navan yards on today’s card at 21.28% wins (10/47). Several runners come from high-volume Navan stables (Harrington, Meade), but O’Callaghan’s strike-rate stands out. With heavy ground, any runner with a dependable profile and a top stable record at the course is worth elevating.
Top Selections
1. Lady Plimsoll — 7/2 (4.5) ⭐
Jockey: Wesley Joyce | Trainer: M D O’Callaghan
Form: 15262- | RPR: 74 | Topspeed: 68
Draw: 14 | Weight: 140
Clear market leader and is backed by one of the strongest course-stat stables on the card: O’Callaghan 21.28% wins at Navan (10/47) and 42.55% places. The wide draw (14) is not ideal, but in 1m2f handicaps on heavy the ability to stay and grind can offset early-position drawbacks. Her topspeed (68) is one of the better figures in the race.
Recommended bet: Win
2. Lady Mary Heath — 5/1 (6.0)
Jockey: Jack Cleary | Trainer: Aidan Anthony Howard
Form: U000-4 | RPR: 68 | Topspeed: 34
Draw: 3 | Weight: 134
Strongly positioned from draw 3 and second favourite in the market. The stable has an 8.05% Navan strike-rate (7/87), and Cleary has a double-digit Navan win-rate (10.53%). Compared to the favourite, she offers a more favourable draw and lower weight, which can be decisive in heavy conditions.
Recommended bet: Each-way
3. Acheron — 15/2 (8.5)
Jockey: Sam Coen | Trainer: John Joseph Hanlon
Form: 235/2- | RPR: 75 | Topspeed: n/a
Draw: 6 | Weight: 137
Hanlon is a steady Navan operator at 6.54% wins (7/107) with a healthy 32.71% place-rate. This is more of a “place and price” proposition in a big field: the odds are bigger than the main two, and he has an attractive draw (6) for positioning.

17:18 – Bective Restaurant Handicap
Race Details: 2200y | Going: HEAVY | Race Type: Flat | Field: 13
The closing handicap has a clear market top: Accelereight at around 9/4–5/2. Servare is next in at 10/3–7/2. From a pure speed/ratings standpoint, Femme Beauty has a notable RPR 78 and Topspeed 66, but is priced much bigger. This race also has two naps in the published feed (Dreoilin and Survivor’s Code), neither of whom is at the very top of the market.
Top Selections
1. Accelereight — 5/2 (3.5) ⭐
Jockey: Patrick McGettigan | Trainer: J P Murtagh
Form: 608- | RPR: 77 | Topspeed: 26
Draw: 8 | Weight: 127
Market leader and a high-rated profile for the grade (RPR 77). Trainer J P Murtagh is a reliable Navan yard at 12.11% wins. While Accelereight doesn’t appear in the “3+ Navan runs” horse list, the combination of price leadership and a trainer with strong course strike-rate is enough to justify top billing.
Recommended bet: Win
2. Servare — 7/2 (4.5)
Jockey: Andrew Slattery | Trainer: Andrew Slattery
Form: 00048- | RPR: 69 | Topspeed: 49
Draw: 10 | Weight: 128
Second in the betting and has a solid topspeed edge versus the favourite (49 vs 26), albeit at a lower rating. Slattery as a jockey has a low win-rate at Navan (1.94% from 103 rides), which is a meaningful caution flag at this venue. That said, the market has him as the main threat, and he’s priced accordingly.
Recommended bet: Each-way / place
3. Femme Beauty — 16/1 (17.0)
Jockey: Shane Foley | Trainer: K J Condon
Form: 44080- | RPR: 78 | Topspeed: 66
Draw: 5 | Weight: 123
Big-priced but carries strong published performance markers: RPR 78 and Topspeed 66 (better than the top two on topspeed). Condon is a meaningful Navan stable with 13.21% wins (21/159) and 41.51% places. Foley is also an 11.76% Navan winner. At double-figure odds, this is the clearest “value against the top” play in the race by raw numbers and connections.
