Airspace made all to gain a deserved success in the Irish Racing Calendar Maiden at Navan.

Johnny Murtagh kicked on over a furlong from home and the Michael Halford-trained gelding kept on strongly to score by a length from Capulet Monteque

"He deserves that as he's been knocking on the door for a long time," said Halford's wife Louise.

"He stays six but five is no problem to him especially on a stiff track like this. Johnny decided to just send him on today."
