< Hannah's Magic (9-1) chose a good time to get off the mark as she landed the Irish Stallion Farms E.B.F. Fillies Handicap, the most valuable race at Navan on Wednesday.
Winless from 13 previous tries on the level and a spin over hurdles last month, Arthur Moore's three-year-old was always travelling well in the 10-furlong event and soon put the race to bed when Sean Corby pushed the button just over a furlong out.
The pair galloped clear to score in style from Nancy Rose who could only get within three and a half lengths of the winner as she stayed on for second.< Red Ivy justified market support in the opening Irish Stallion Farms E.B.F. Median Auction Maiden.
Having been given too much to do when staying on well at Naas on Sunday, the most experienced runner in the field was ridden much more prominently this time and contested the early lead with Great Wide Open and Shanghai Beauty
The 5-4 favourite pulled clear with the latter as they entered the final furlong and asserted close home to score by a length and a half.< In Salutem (10-1) came with a late rattle to win by the same distance in the Tote Jackpot Races Three To Six Handicap.
The return soft ground and drop in trip sparked improvement in Kevin Condon's runner, who flew late on under Shane Foley to get the better of 7-2 favourite Bubbly Bellini
Billy Lee was the pilot as Condon completed a double a courtesy of Harold Peto (11-4), who built on a promising course debut when taking the Win A Ski Holiday Racecard Competition Median Auction Maiden in dominant fashion by a length and a half from Avenante
Lee notched a double of his own when partnering Lettre De Cachet (9-1) to a half-length success over Very Intense in the closing Bet Online At thetote.com Maiden.
7Ib claimer Donnacha O'Brien continues to impress and got a good tune out of Happy Anniversary (10-1), an impressive three-length winner from Rose Angel in the www.navanracecourse.ie Handicap, while Princess Glamour (11-2) proved a length and a quarter too good for Dash in the Tote Super
