NEW YORK CITY (NAP) had little to do to land the odds in a Navan maiden then stepped up in grade to land a Listed contest over an extra half-furlong back there from Straight Answer.

The latter's yard is also represented by Beauty Inspire, unbeaten in two starts last summer including a Curragh Group 3. Twilight Jet was in fine shape all last summer culminating in a Newmarket Group 3 victory though he hasn't run since the Breeders' Cup in November.
