Another win for Questions at Navan

More Questions recorded his third win at Navan, as he justified late market support to claim the navanracecourse.ie Handicap, scoring under Leigh Roche for Eddie Lynam.

The four-year-old bay was available at 10/1 last night (when Masai and Great Minds were still engaged) but he opened on-course at 11/2, before being backed into 4/1 favouritism at the off.

Settled towards the rear, the son of Moss Vale had plenty of work to do three furlongs out, but he picked up well when ridden inside the two pole, sweeping to the front in the closing stages before going on to score easily by two and a quarter lengths. Seanie (8/1) ran his usual consistent race to finish second under Pat Smullen for David Marnane, while In Salutem was a further length back in third under Shane Foley for Ken Condon at 12/1.

Eddie Lynam said afterwards: "He is a good horse here. He has won three times here now. He probably won a bit far and the handicapper will have his say now.

"I think there is a race for him here next month, and I think we will keep him for here as he is not as good anywhere else.

"There must be a bit of a Navan man in him somewhere!"
