Eddie Lynam doubled up at Navan this afternoon when Odisseia claimed the 1m2f fillies handicap.

Fergal Lynch produced the daughter of Clodovil to lead at the furlong pole and she stuck on well in the closing stages to post a three-parts-of-a-length victory.

The winner had been a promising third on her return to action at the Curragh earlier in the month.

"It's about half a mile further than most of mine run over!" quipped Lynam.

"She got 5lb for finishing third the last day which I thought was harsh enough but he (handicapper) knows best obviously.

"We're pleased, I don't know what sort of race it was as a couple of the hotpots didn't run up to scratch.

"We'll find something similar for her and try to keep to fillies only races." Sereza was sent off the 6/4 favourite but trailed in last of the 11 runners.

Lynam had also struck earlier with More Questions in the five-furlong handicap.
