Spent years chasing the perfect balance between cold, hard racing stats… and the warm glow of wishful thinking. All the Irish racecourses, from Ballinrobe to Wexford, I follow the numbers, the trends, and yes… the hunches that keep the heart beating faster than a last-furlong finish. Some call it reckless, I call it passionate; some call it luck, I call it experience… and a little bit of Irish stubbornness. Betting isn’t just a hobby—it’s a way of life, seasoned with a bit of craic and a lot of Irish charm.

A Pearl Starling
Daily Racing

@15.00
Lose
-50
A Pearl Starling is the kind of outsider we love: underestimated in the market but with enough raw ability and hints of unexposed potential to make things interesting. She's shown flashes - little moments in her races where she's travelled strongly or quickened better than the final result suggests - that hint a big performance is lurking. Dropping into a race that could suit her tempo, and with the possibility of natural improvement on her previous efforts, she looks like a genuine dark horse. At these odds, we're getting a runner with the tools to surprise and the price to make it worth the risk.

Sarmiento Power

@4.50
Lose
-50
Sarmiento Power brings a dependable profile into the race and has the kind of professional, straightforward run style that is particularly effective at Dundalk. He's been running with a great deal of purpose, often travelling like the best horse in the races, and these conditions look ideal for another bold showing. With a strong, sustained gallop and the ability to maintain pressure on rivals from a fair way out, he tends to force others onto the back foot. If he gets into that smooth rhythm he's known for, he could very well dominate the finish. At these odds, he presents both value and credibility as a strong proposition.

Rock Basher

@7.00
Lose
-50
Rock Basher is a dangerous type to underestimate - exactly the sort of horse you want on your side at this tempting price. He's shown glimpses of serious ability, particularly when getting a clean run, and this race looks tactically favorable for a closer with his finishing power. The surface at Dundalk tends to reward rhythm and stamina, both of which are strengths for him, and any race where the early fractions are strong will bring him properly into the picture. Rock Basher has been knocking on the door, and the combination of his experience, consistency, and finishing kick makes him a live contender who could easily outrun his odds.

@4.00
Lose
-50
Monvoe is the type of horse who has been quietly shaping like a winner-in-waiting, and this setup at Dundalk looks made-to-measure. He's shown a strong cruising speed in recent starts and tends to travel noticeably well through his races. Often overloaded with early pace, he should be able to find a comfortable rhythm before unleashing that late kick. With previous performances suggesting there's still improvement to come, especially under these conditions, Monvoe has all the hallmarks of a horse ready to deliver. At around 3/1, he feels like a bet with upside.

Ma Jacks Hill

@9.00
Lose
-50
My only selection for today. Ma Jacks Hill should definitely be considered a contender in today's 1:35 at Navan. Trained by Gordon Elliott and partnered with Jack Kennedy, he has the class and experience to perform well over hurdles. His form has been solid, finishing strongly in his latest outing and showing he can handle softer ground. The 2-mile distance at Navan suits his running style, giving him time to settle before making a finishing move. That said, there are a few potential issues to keep in mind. The going is expected to be heavy, which can be a real test for any novice hurdler and could sap some of his stamina. He also faces competition from horses who have beaten him in the past, so he's not guaranteed to dominate. Additionally, his experience is limited, which can sometimes lead to mistakes in a competitive field. Overall, this one has credentials to be in the mix, but conditions and opposition make the race far from straightforward. I think the Each-way makes it good value at the current odds.

She's up against good mares, but if she handles the soft-to-heavy ground (as many NH-bred fillies do), she could go well. Given her position in a listed event, if she runs to form, she represents value - especially if some of her rivals underperform or don't handle the ground.

Wingmen makes an attractive candidate for his first run over fences in a beginners' chase. The leap to chasing could unlock improvement: if he's as good as his hurdling form suggests, this is a natural progression.
His stable is very capable with novice chasers, and the fact he's contested well early in his career gives him a base to build on. In a 13-runner beginners' event, he could be well placed to take a big step forward.

Grimaud

Grimaud, running for Gordon Elliott, a yard that clearly has big representation on the day. He has already won over hurdles, scoring at Gowran Park in March. He also showed course promise: on his previous Navan appearance, he managed a respectable 3rd in a maiden hurdle. Jack Kennedy rides, and with his experience over the trip and ground, Grimaud could be primed to step up from his previous efforts now that he knows what is required.

Party Pack

@SP
Lose
-50
Party Pack is an appealing each-way play in the 2m handicap hurdle. Trained by JP Flavin, he's yet to break his maiden under rules, but he's shown signs of life recently. In August 2025, he finished 2nd of 14 at Wexford, and in October he ran 7th of 13 off a similar mark in Killarney. His rating suggests there could be more room to improve, especially in a big field handicap such as this one. Moreover, the ground is soft, and that could work in his favor - he's previously handled decent going in his handicap runs. Flavin's horses often improve with each run, and Party Pack looks like he's nearing a breakthrough. Not flashy, but solid, consistent, and potentially well-treated - he could be the sort of lightweight who comes good when others underestimate him.

Cool Native, another Gordon Elliott entrant. While she doesn't have a lot of form under rules, she has point-to-point experience, which often translates well to National Hunt races, especially for mares.
With Jack Kennedy booked, it's clear the yard is not taking her lightly, and in a big-field mares' division she could be a live outsider - particularly if the ground proves testing. Her lack of high-pressure racecourse form might be a feature, not a bug, if she's improving and the stable has targeted this.

Wackestone

-15
Wackestone is an interesting contender for his hurdling debut. Trained by Gordon Elliott, he showed promise on the Flat, most notably when finishing 3rd in a soft-ground 1m 2f Navan maiden in April, which earned him a useful rating.
On his first go over hurdles in Ballinrobe, despite a couple of mistakes, he ran well enough to be given further respect, and Jack Kennedy retains the ride, suggesting the stable still has confidence in him.
Given he's lightly raced but well-bred for this trip, and the ground at Navan is likely to be testing (soft-to-heavy), this could be a good opportunity for him to deliver.

Well-backed and likely to be prominent throughout. He has a good blend of stamina and speed and often performs best when he can dictate his own pace or sit off the leaders. Navan suits horses with a strong finish, and if he times it right, he should be tough to beat. A confident win selection.

Hercule Du Seuil is a big outsider. He has shown flashes of ability but can be inconsistent, so timing will be key. If the pace is strong up front, he could capitalise by running on late, making him a decent long-shot each-way bet.

The standout favourite currently. He has the class and recent form to make this a relatively straightforward race if he breaks well and settles comfortably.

Theflyingking is an interesting outsider at these odds. He may not be the most consistent, but he has sharp turn of foot when in the right rhythm. A race that allows him to run freely from mid-division could see him make a late surge. For punters looking for some value, an each-way bet makes sense, especially if the favourite is pressured early.

Scalpnagoon is a solid contender at these odds. He typically runs well when he can track the leaders and make his move in the last half-mile. His recent form suggests he has enough stamina to cope with the distance at Navan, and if he avoids getting boxed in, he could challenge for the win or at least a strong placing. A good each-way option in a competitive field.

A seasoned campaigner, this gelding trained by Henry de Bromhead is coming off a win at Dundalk over 6f, showcasing his liking for the track and surface. With experience, proven form on this course and over the trip, he is very much a horse to beat. Provided the draw and pace setup suit him, he holds strong claims to repeat. His consistency and the fact he knows what a win here looks like puts him in a favourable light.

He may lack the experience of some rivals, but his form suggests he shouldn't be underestimated.

This 2yo filly from the yard of Henry de Bromhead has shown promise in her couple of runs, most recently finishing a close second over this 6f AW trip at Dundalk after a debut on soft/heavy ground over 7f. The return to the 6f and familiar surface should suit, and given her improvement from the first start, she's a serious contender if she can repeat that level of performance. The only caveat is her inexperience, but the scenario is favorable for a filly stepping up.

Mode Avion represents the powerful Gordon Elliott and Gigginstown combination and brings strong credentials to this novice hurdle. A winner in France before joining his current yard, he has already shown a professional attitude in his work and is bred to stay well. The stable has been in flying form, and Elliott's French recruits often hit the ground running when switched to Irish hurdles. Market confidence around him suggests he's been going well at home, and if he translates that ability to the track, Mode Avion could easily prove a class above his rivals here.

Infinity Success caught the eye on her debut over hurdles when finishing midfield at Cork, where she showed signs of ability despite greenness in the closing stages. The French-bred filly clearly possesses talent and looked to have plenty left in the tank, and she's entitled to come on for that first experience over timber. Trained by Declan Queally, she has been well supported in the market before, indicating that connections think there's more to come. With natural improvement and sharper jumping, she could find herself right in the thick of things this time, especially if the race develops into a stamina test.

Glyndwr is a 3-year-old gelding trained by GM Lyons who recently won a 1m race at Dundalk, showing he can perform well here. The win indicates upside, and at his age, he may still improve. The caution: the jump from that win to a claiming race of this type means he will likely have more to do, and younger horses sometimes struggle in deeper fields. However, with market support, he's on my radar for a win.

Kings Jet is an intriguing 5-year-old with proven stamina and winning form over fences. He landed a Down Royal chase over 2m 7f in May, showing both staying power and jumping fluency. Trained by Cormac Farrell, he's still lightly raced and open to improvement, and this Fairyhouse contest looks a logical next step in his progression. The market has respected him in early prices, suggesting stable confidence, and if he reproduces his Down Royal effort, he could be hard to beat. The main concern is experience - he's only had a handful of run, but he fits the profile of a young chaser on the up.
Also in this race, worth keeping an eye on, YEWTREE HILL, trained by Cian Collins has the ability to grab a place at decent odds if finding a bit of his old spark, but my preference is firmly with Kings Jet who looks the progressive one in the field.

Clarnagh Maid looks a strong contender in her mare's maiden hurdle. Trained by Gordon Elliott, she has shown steady progress in her recent starts - finishing third in a Down Royal bumper before improving to second at Tipperary. The step up here should suit her, as she's shaped like a mare who will appreciate a longer distance. Elliott's runners often improve for their first hurdling experience, and Clarnagh Maid's pedigree and running style suggest there's more to come. While she's still a maiden and untested over hurdles in race conditions, her form, yard confidence, and the race setup make her a solid win prospect, particularly if the ground isn't too testing.

Trained by Henry De Bromhead and owned by JP McManus, this 8 year old bay gelding boasts high-class novice hurdle form including a Grade 1 win at Aintree and a Grade 2 at Naas. He stepped into chasing but has had limited runs in that sphere, his chasing form is still developing and the question is whether he stays the trip and handles the conditions. This race looks close, with Only By Night a strong contender, but I believe my selection has the edge under H De Bromhead and his record in Grade 1 hurdles. Early market odds reflect the same sentiment, making him the firm favourite.
