keen early, tracked winner, not fluent 3 out and soon weakened, blundered next
made most, wandered around approaching 2nd, clear when not fluent final two hurdles, comfortable
tracked leaders, ridden to chase clear winner 2 out, no impression
Martello Boy was a reserve at Fairyhouse yesterday and unlikely to get a run and was tailed off when making his debut in a Roscommon maiden hurdle in August. Dynali has a smart pedigree being by Dansili out of a winning miler who produced the useful Flat and hurdles winner Stratum with her first foal. Navajo Pass, a winner over 1m6f at Carlisle on only his fourth start, was well beaten at York subsequently so a chance is taken with POLITICISE, a winner on the level for William Haggas and sent over from Ireland by Ado McGuinness.

Navajo Pass 10-1 (8-8) Chased leader until approaching halfway, remained well there, pushed along 3f out, weakened over 2f out, 12th of 17, 22 3/4l behind Hamish (9-7) at York 1m 6f hcp (2) sft in Oct.
Politicise (IRE) 16-1 (8-12) A little slow into stride and pushed along briefly, close up and disputed lead early, tracked leaders, not much room early straight, not much room again 1 1/2f out and one pace after, 10th of 14, 5 1/2l behind Spruce Meadows (8-13) at Dundalk 1m 4f hcp pol in Sep.
