The concluding Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Handicap carries the biggest purse of the day at Navan.

It looks an interesting race, too, with two locally-trained course-and-distance winners - Dew Line and The Nutcracker - back in search of further glory.

Indeed, when Dew Line triumphed at Proudstown Park a fortnight back when she had The Nutcracker well behind in 12th.

Dew Line must cope with a not insurmountable 5Ib rise in the ratings here, whilst The Nutcracker has to race from a couple of pounds out of the weights.

It is far from confined to those mentioned, though, with many of the 10 participants holding some appeal.

Jim Bolger has two engaged, and those that like the filly-in-form angle will not look much further than his Ringside Humour after her second placing at Cork on Saturday.

Following his treble at Naas on Sunday, plenty will be keen to keep the Bolger runners on side throughout this session.

The Coolcullen maestro has McGuigan when he is shouldered with top weight in the Arkle Bar Handicap.

Kevin Manning 's mount, twice second over the track and trip, will not be for everyone, as a seven-times tried maiden.

He has met with defeat when expected to get the job done more than once now too.

However, it may pay to keep the faith, whist acknowledging that Andy Oliver's Bunk Off Early looks a big danger to all, on the back of his victory at Cork on Saturday.

In fact, Bunk Off Early appears something of a handicap good thing, racing as he does with just a mandatory 5Ib penalty.

The official assessor gave the roan-coloured son of Zebedee no less than a 14lb rise in the weights for future engagements.

He has only kept Group Two company in three outings to date, so it would not be unreasonable to expect a prominent showing from Lex Talionis in the Navan Welcomes Owners Median Auction Maiden at 3.50.
