Russell unscathed after Navan woe

Davy Russell suffered no lasting damage at Navan on Sunday after partnering three successive fallers.

Russell gave up his remaining rides on the afternoon, on a day he will want to forget quickly.

Don’t Back Down fell early in the novice chase won by Boston Bob, Un Beau Matin looked like he was just coming to win the Tara Hurdle when he crashed out at the second-last flight, and then the highly-touted Don Cossack was a strange casualty at the last in the Grade One Navan Novice Hurdle.
