Acapulco’s turn has finally come

ACAPULCO, runner-up in all three of his races so far over flights, gets the nap in the www.navanracecourse.ie Maiden Hurdle at the Co Meath track this afternoon.

Edward O’Grady’s charge, successful on the flat when trained by Aidan O’Brien, will be partnered by Andrew McNamara, returning to action today for the first time since taking a fall off Luska Lad at Naas eight days ago.

When a horse keeps finishing second there is obvious cause to question his resolution, but the selection’s latest effort was easily his best to date and he’s a reasonably confident choice.
