The ground remains yielding at Navan ahead of this afternoon's card which features the Grade 1 Navan Novice Hurdle.

Conditions look likely to ease, however, with rain forecast throughout the day. Action gets underway at 12.05pm on the seven-race card.

The feature event could be reduced to only three runners with Apache Stronghold a major doubt with a foot abscess.

Cheltenham bumper winner Briar Hill looks set to be a short-price (currently 1/2 favourite) in the two-and-a-half mile contest.
