Navan hosts a national hunt card this afternoon and the Sandra Hughes-trained Smoking Big Cigars can recoup some of the losses from his defeat at this track in late January.

If Limerick can survive an ominous forecast for its going, given yesterday afternoon as heavy, waterlogged in places, there are some decent opportunities for punters, headed by Midnight Theatre in the mares’ maiden hurdle.

The action moves to Downpatrick this afternoon, where Quiet Account gets the nap to land the Toals Bookmakers Hunters Chase for trainer Colin McBratney.
