Fozzy Stack secured an early double on Wednesday’s card in Navan, doing so with riders at polar opposite ends of their respective career. Multiple Classic-winning jockey Seamie Heffernan set the ball rolling, aboard Bodhi Bear, and promising young claimer Darragh O’Sullivan completed the double aboard New Theory.

Bodhi Bear completed his own 3-2-1 sequence with a good display in the opener, the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Median Auction Maiden. The 13-8 chance made most of the running and while the heavily-backed 5-4 favourite Mathan travelled close to the pace and held every chance, he found plenty for pressure to put almost two lengths between them.
