Moskovite, runner-up to Saturday's impressive Listed winner Honeysuckle at Fairyhouse, had no problems going one better in a Navan maiden though both of those starts were over 2m4f. Rovetta was a long way behind Honeysuckle on Saturday but she completed a hat-trick on the Flat and over timber in August so has to be respected. LADY IN LAVENDER gets the nod as she won the maiden on this card a year ago and will be at peak fitness following her two recent runs, though Littlestickarubarb is running very well and only just failed to hold off All The Chimneys at Clonmel. Lil Smith is on the upgrade and makes her handicap debut while Drakaina is running well and has to be considered from the same mark as when a close third here last time.
