Navan’s two-day festival helps the National Hunt season ramp up another notch, with plenty of stars in action over the weekend. There are many reasons to tune in Saturday afternoon, with reigning Champion Chaser Marine Nationale taking on a former winner, Captain Guinness, and the Mares’ Chase winner, Dinoblue, while Supreme Novices’ Hurdle winner Kopek Des Bordes embarks on his chasing career.
Add the Grade Two Lismullen Hurdle and some other exciting newcomers to hurdling for some proper jumps racing at one of the country’s best tracks.
