Review navan 12th Jun

John Oxx and Mick Kinane are the dream team after their Derby victory with Sea The Stars and they kept the ball rolling when Alaiyma landed the 80's Mania Race at Navan.

The filly's last four runs had been on the Dundalk all-weather but she showed no aversion to turf as she won readily.

The Aga Khan's three-year-old tracked Man Of Iron for much of the mile contest and edged in front inside the final two furlongs.

Favourite Aaroness put in a challenge, but Alaiyma (11-2) stayed on really well and had a length and a quarter to spare at the line.

Rising star jumps jockey Paul Townend made a triumphant return to the track with an exemplary ride as Deutschland won the Live Music After Racing Apprentice Handicap.

Returning from a lengthy lay-off, the jockey showed no sign of ring-rust as he pounced to score on Willie Mullins' two-mile chaser.

The 7-2 favourite was stuck on the rails entering the final furlong, but Townend pulled him into the clear and the combination got there by three-quarters of a length from Rajik < Mountain Coral has been in terrific form and he racked up win number five from his last six starts when pouncing late to land the 80's Night at Navan Racecourse Handicap.

Niall McCullagh had to be patient as he he waited for a gap in the final furlong, but when it finally came he quickly went through it.

Frank Oakes's five-year-old, a 15-2 chance, passed the post with three-quarters of a length to spare from Nortburn < Reggae Dancer was sent off the hot favourite for the Lynn Lodge Stud EBF Maiden but was worried out of it by the more experienced Rigid Rock

Jim Gorman's juvenile (6-1) came to tackle the Ballydoyle colt in the final two furlongs and looked held at first, but he gradually wore down his rival to score by a neck under Kevin Manning.

Newcomer In Some Respect was a fast-finishing third, while second favourite Atlantic Cycle lost all chance when rearing up in the stalls at the start.
