Navan tips: Sovereign Gold can get off the mark over fences

For a two-time point to point winner, she has thus far been a touch disappointing, but there were distinct signs of better to come when she finished runner-up on her most recent outing

Sovereign Gold can get off the mark over fences in the Navanracecourse.ie Mares’ Handicap Chase, the final race on today’s seven-race programme. For a two-time point to point winner, she has thus far been a touch disappointing, but there were distinct signs of better to come when she finished runner-up to Minella Times on her most recent outing. In a lesser race and back against her own sex today, she can get off the mark on the racetrack.

Noble Yeats has what looks a very straightforward task in the Navanracecourse.ie Maiden Hurdle. Just touched off on his only start in a point to point, he ran a big race on his track debut, in a bumper won by Blazing Khal, and duly obliged second time up, in late January at Thurles.
