All you need for a busy day headlined by a cracking card at Navan
Even without frozen Carlisle, there is still plenty in store on a busy day with two meetings apiece in Britain and Ireland.
The pick of the action comes from Navan with the track staging a Grade 2 novice hurdle (12.50), featuring a clash between Next Destination and Cracking Smart, and a Listed bumper (3.30) previously won by the likes of Samcro, Death Duty and Don Cossack.
Thurles hosts a Listed race of its own – a mares' novice hurdle at 2.10 – while the jumpers go at Southwell and Chelmsford puts on an additional all-weather card.
