For Pleasure for the win For Pleasure showed the benefit of his run at Cork last week to land a gamble (11/1 into 8/1 on track and from bigger earlier) in the Follow Us On Twitter Handicap at Navan. A first winner on the track for handler James Barrett since September 2016, For Pleasure was going a few places better than stable companion King Of Leinster (4/1 chance, finished 5th) in the opener. Rory Cleary was aboard the victorious Excelebration gelding and he took over in the straight, soon asserting, to account for Shes Queen by six and a half lengths. "The last day in his maiden he was drawn a bit wide but he's tough and he's honest and he stays galloping. He should make a real nice jumping horse," said Barrett. "His first run as a two-year-old he kept galloping as well and the last day with the ground that he made up I felt the hill in Navan would help him." (AM & EM)
