Jockey Andrew Lynch combined with trainer Michael O’Hare to win the Garlow Cross Handicap Hurdle at Navan today, with lightweight Arctic Mick

Beaten favourite on his latest start, Arctic Mick (9/2f) had little difficulty defeating Stabilo by ten lengths today.

Afterwards O’Hare reported “Arctic Mick did it well and was entitled to win off his chase mark. Going right-handed at Fairyhouse the last day probably didn’t suit and while he’ll run in the Ulster National at Downpatrick next Wednesday, the chase course is on the outside so going right-handed there should be fine.”
