Mendelssohn set to hit winning note

Felix Mendelssohn looks good in the Irish Stallion Farms Maiden, the finale on today’s eight-race flat card at Navan.

This Galileo colt hasn’t been seen since May, when he started favourite for a Leopardstown maiden. But he shaped with plenty of promise, when finishing fourth to Sundara and despite his worrying absence, should be good enough to land a typical back-end maiden.

Returning after a near five-month break and dropping in trip, the Ballydoyle colt’s chance will probably be reflected in the market.
