Whitsunday Islands dropped back to a mile at Navan and attempted to make all but had no answer when passed 1f out. He's had plenty of chances as has Formal Order, who ran poorly in a Listowel handicap last time. The latter did better on heavy going earlier so more rain would aid his cause. Ambitious Approach hasn't run since April where he showed some potential as did INSAAN over 7f at Listowel earlier this month. The latter is taken to make enough progress to land this though the form of Istoria's placed effort behind Simsir at Cork was given a boost when the winner scored again at Dundalk last week.
