Review navan 5th Sep
Jamesie and Colm O'Donoghue

< Jamesie produced a strong late surge to land the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Race at Navan.
David Marnane's 2-1 favourite looked to have plenty of work to do entering the final furlong, but he accelerated sharply once Colm O'Donoghue switched him to the rail.< Alkasser gave chase in the closing stages, but Jamesie had flown, and he held on well to score by a length.< Shrill got back to winning ways with an impressive performance in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Premier Nursery Handicap.
Willie McCreery's filly had struggled badly in a Newbury Listed race last time, but plenty of punters kept the faith with the 4-1 chance.
Robbie Downey held her up early on, but hit the front at the furlong pole and she kept on well to beat Blood Moon by a length.< Moral High Ground justified odds-on favouritism to land the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Auction Maiden.< Aspar and Go Kart duelled for the lead for much of the way, but once Emmet McNamara drove the 8-11 winner into contention, he swept past to win by three-quarters of a length from Aspar.< Venezia squeezed between a pair of rivals to land the John Lynch Carpets And Flooring Handicap.
Shane Foley was hard at work on the home turn, but the Michael Halford-trained 5-1 chance responded well and hit the front inside the final furlong, eventually prevailing by a neck over Hudson's Bay
Jim Ryan's three-year-old Red Napoleon (8-1) made his belated debut in the Come Racing Again Saturday 26th September Maiden, but it was certainly worth the wait as he got up late to beat McGuigan under Fran Berry.
Patrick Downey secured his first winner at his local track when Three Bells (6-1 joint-favourite) ran out an emphatic winner of the Emerald Facility Services Event Cleaning Handicap under Gary Carroll.< Snap Click (16-1) finished with a flourish under Pat Smullen to land the Gormanlough Handicap for trainer Jim Gorman.
