Stiffer Navan track will play to So Young’s strengths

IT really is something of a rarity to spend the entire weekend at home, but I’m at Punchestown this afternoon and Navan tomorrow.

January is traditionally a bit of a quiet month for Paul Nicholls and, basically, there isn’t much for me in England today.

In any case remaining in Ireland gives me another chance to ride the ex-French horse, Ut de Sivola, in the Grade 3 hurdle for juveniles at Punchestown.
