Under a well-judged, front-running ride from champion apprentice Dylan Browne McMonagle, the Joseph O’Brien-trained Statement landed the Listed Navigation Stakes on softening ground at Cork’s final Flat meeting of the season.

Formerly trained by Martyn Meade and Kevin Ryan and having only her second start for O’Brien, the Lawman filly dictated the pace, slipped the field at a crucial stage before holding the late surge of Monaasib by a neck, with Georgeville two lengths back in third.
