8/1
Ran well in a Naas handicap hurdle last month finishing third of 15 beaten 2¾L; up a couple of pounds for her efforts but should still be capable of running a decent race.

On terms when falling two out at this venue (2m6f soft/heavy ground) in handicap hurdle in November; runner-up on Boxing Day at Limerick latest and although up in the wights, should go well again.

9/1
Showed lots of promise before winning a mares only maiden hurdle at Clonmel in October; bounced back last time at Punchestown following two below par runs; decent chance if on song once again.

Age: 6|  Weight: 11-3| J: D N Russell| T: G Elliott| OR:  107
8/1
Inching down the handicap but for a reason; has not shown too much on her last five starts and while has slight chance on best of her form others make more appeal at present; cheekpieces applied first time.

Age: 6|  Weight: 10-10| J: S D Torrens(7)| T: L Lennon| OR:  100| D
50/1
Scored in a heavy-ground Ayr maiden hurdle over 2m4f in November but has found things tougher in handicap company here and at Down Royal on latest starts; might need some more help from handicapper to get back to winning ways.

Limitations exposed in Grade 3 contest last time out at Fairyhouse having previously won her maiden hurdle well at Gowran Park; interesting runner on handicap debut and market moves would be interesting.

11/2
Daughter of Flemensfirth. Five-race maiden but showing progress in a couple of starts since December. Worth a check in the market at post-time approaches.

So Near So Farhh19
Age: 5|  Weight: 10-7| J: A W Short(3)| T: C A McBratney| OR:  99
8/1
Put all known form behind her to score well on handicap debut at Down Royal last time out; more on her plate here but could be progressive and raced that day as though step up in trip would help; excellent chance.

Howaya Aoife32
Age: 9|  Weight: 10-5| J: Ricky Doyle(3)| T: G Keane| OR:  95
9/1
Off the mark for connections at the seventh time of asking when landing a Punchestown 2m5½f mares' handicap on soft ground off a 6lb lower mark in November; fair effort last time at Punchestown latest and one for the shortlist.

My Club Colours35
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-3| J: B J Cooper| T: P Nolan| OR:  93| D
5/1
Stepped up on all known for to win on soft ground over this trip at Punchestown last month; stiffer task here but that form looked reasonably solid giving her a decent chance of following up.

Horse silk
Regina Dracones32
Age: 5|  Weight: 9-10| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: T Gibney| OR:  85
66/1
Posted a poor effort on debut at Fairyhouse back in April and didn't make much progress in three subsequent starts last year; better effort last time at Punchestown but this looks tough from out of the handicap.

Nine-race maiden who is yet to hit the frame on any occasion; pulled up last time out and plenty to prove from so far out of the weights.

14:55 Navan - 16 February 2020 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

The manner of the success of SO NEAR SO FARHH recently at Down Royal suggests she will appreciate this step up in trip and be able to follow up that win despite a rise in the weights. On the downside she will not want the conditions to get too testing. The youngster Dinard Rose is a likeable sort and makes her handicap debut having overstretched herself by running in a Graded contest last time: This looks well within her compass and she gets in on an arguably reasonable mark. My Club Colours won well last time out on soft ground and if continuing to improve then she has a chance of adding to that victory.
