The featured Bohermeen Handicap over 5f produced a good finish as recent Rockingham winner Strong Johnson (5/2 fav) was just edged out by the stronger-finishing Tide Of Time (10/1).

Trained by Eddie Lynam, it was a third win at the track, and a fifth in all, for the 6-y-o gelding by Choisir.

The winner had beaten the runner-up at Naas last November, and clearly was all the better for his comeback run at this course last Friday when he finished fifth behind Stanhope (unplaced here).

Tide Of Time was scoring off a career-high mark of 78 while the runner-up, just outstayed up the hill, lost little in defeat.

Winning rider Oisin Orr commented: “I had a lovely run and got a lovely lead into the race. He travelled well and quickened up nicely.

“He's improved from the last day and loves Navan, I think the uphill finish really suits him.”
