Navan Race 1 - Navan Racecourse Maiden Hurdle
CROOKED PATH (3) has found the frame three times from seven runs over hurdles including a solid second behind a Willie Mullins-trained runner in similar conditions at Limerick prior to a disappointing Punchestown sixth. Better expected. HYGGE (4) placed both career outings under Jack Kennedy at Fairyhouse and Leopardstown. Tongue-tie fitted. Key player dropping in trip. French jumpers flat winner MOULIN LABBE (5) finished a creditable fifth making stable and hurdle debut at Naas last month. In the mix second-up with the in-form Paul Townend booked to ride. ANNIE'S ANGEL (7) improved running second at Hereford in latest. Might feature.

Racing second-up. Promising win at first race start won by 5 len Ploermel on September 21 over 2300m on rain affected going defeating My Lady Raiselle with 62kg. Went for a spell before returning finished fifth of 12 starters at Naas on January 25 over 3218m, on rain affected going; 20 len behind Kai Lung with 73kg at $10. Very hard to beat with that run under the belt.

Jumped at long odds at debut, finished eighth of 10 runners at Gowran Park on February 14 over 3218m, on heavy track; 46 len behind Madness D'elle with 73kg at $34. Better for the experience but others have better credentials.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. Resuming finished sixth of 12 runners at Thurles on January 29 over 3218m, on a wet track; 35 len behind Charme De Faust carrying 67.5kg at $67. Second-up held ground to the line finished second of 9 starters at Hereford on February 11 over 3218m, on a wet track; 6 len behind The Procrastinator carrying 71kg at $5. Has been racing well. Worth including among the each way chances.
