Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Miners Bridge heads our figures on 116 and gets the nod over a competitive 12-runner field at Navan over 20 furlongs on good ground. He is two pounds ahead of Magic Day, so the edge is narrow rather than decisive, but it is enough to make him the one to beat. Magic Day is the chief danger on 114, with Beckistine on 113 and Dairy Force on 111 also firmly in the mix. Miners Bridge looks the most likely to come out on top in a tight contest, and he is our selection.

Racecard
Mark Walsh
M A Molloy 0/1
Beckistine arrives a winner last time out, just 27 days ago, and has run over today's trip and going before, so he's a leading danger on our ratings, ranked third of twelve. The main risk is a mixed record before that, with an eighth three starts back and a pulled up four starts back.

Magic Day is consistent, third last time out, a fourth two starts back and a second three runs ago, and she has run over today's trip and going before. Our rating of 114 ranks her second of 12, but 165 lb and 56 days off are the main risks.

Miners Bridge arrives in cracking form, a winner last time out, and again two and three starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Fresh enough after 27 days, he is our top-rated runner on 116, though 164 lb is a hefty burden.

Third last time out and a second three starts back show Macshadow Des Crai can get involved, and he has run on today's going, but he is yet to win in his last five starts and returns after 108 days off. Carrying 161 lb, he looks a midfield type, with our rating of 111 ranking him fifth of twelve.

Jacko Star fell last time out but was a fourth two starts back and has run over today's trip and going, so he's no stranger to conditions. Yet to win in his last five, he carries 160 lb after 37 days off, and our rating of 107 ranks him seventh of twelve.

Grandy Lane has had a rough recent spell, unplaced last time, pulled up two starts back and a faller three starts back, though he has run over today's trip and going and returns after 39 days. Our rating of 110 sits above his official 105, but 158 lb is a hefty burden.

Nigel Thomas Slevin 0/1
Hard to fancy at ninth of 12 on our figures, with a fourth last time out and a fifth three starts back showing he's not consistent, and 156 lb is a big burden. Against that, he's won twice in his last five, including a win two starts back, and has run over today's trip and going.

Just For One was third last time out, 20 days ago, but a seventh before that and two pulled-up efforts in his last five starts make him hard to fancy. He has run over today's trip and going and won three starts back, though 154 lb is a big burden, and our rating ranks him tenth of twelve.

Bossy Bird was third last time out and has been in the first five in five of her last six, yet she's without a win in that spell. She has run over today's trip and going, but 153 lb and a 32-day break temper the case, with our rating of 104 offering modest support.
