Catch Me takes Navan spoils

Catch Me was the star on show at Navan's delayed meeting when sauntering to victory in the Ladbrokes.com Boyne Hurdle.

The card was supposed to have taken place on Sunday but Navan agreed to put their fixture back by 24 hours after Leopardstown's Hennessy meeting was delayed by a week.

It did not matter one jot to Edward O'Grady's classy hurdler as the 4-9 favourite strolled home in the Grade Two contest in the hands of Andrew McNamara.

But as the race was over the intermediate distance of two miles and five furlongs, O'Grady is no clearer to deciding his target at the Cheltenham Festival.

He was cut to 25-1 (from 33s) for the World Hurdle by William Hill, while Victor Chandler go 25-1 (from 40s) for the Champion Hurdle.

"I'm delighted and that was much easier than I anticipated," said O'Grady.

"I really don't know where he'll go, although I'd love to go to Cheltenham.

"If it came up soft or heavy, I'd run him in the Champion Hurdle and I just don't know how bullish I am about the stayers' (World Hurdle).

"It's a nice problem to have and then there's always Aintree to consider as well."
