Ray Cody should be getting a race out of NAVAGIO soon. A winner at the Curragh for Johnny Murtagh last summer he's been narrowly beaten in two of his three starts for his new handler and was out of his class in the other. Spanish Tenor has been racing in slightly better handicaps and hasn't been beaten far in any of his last three. He's won from much higher marks so looks a real threat and the more likely winner of his stables three entries. Dundalk winner Relevant Range ran better than his form figure suggests at the Curragh while Seamie Heffernan is an interesting booking for Dragon Of Malta, who returns after a long break. Eclat De Lumiere ran well for third at Fairyhouse a fortnight ago after a long break.
