A Word Apart can land tricky contest

A WORD APART is the nap to land a tricky little five-runner Irish Stallion Farms’ EBF Race at Navan this afternoon.

A useful juvenile, Dermot Weld’s gelding made a promising reappearance at Gowran Park just under four weeks ago and will strip a lot fitter now.

Easy to back at Gowran — going off a 7-1 shot — A Word Apart never looked like delivering, but stayed on stoutly in the closing stages to take third behind Adilapour and Banksters Bonus.
