There are plenty of horses racing at Navan today that are attracting early support. Oliver McKiernan's Call Me Pj is a very solid even-money favourite for the maiden hurdle which opens the card at 2.35pm. Bookmakers have seen the 13/8 and 6/4 hoovered up on this Kilbeggan bumper winner. Lisa's Legacy is one for each way backers as he has shortened to 6/1 from 8s in this race.
Sandra Hughes appears to have a live chance with Art Of Security in the bumper. The five-year-old son of High Chaparral has been backed from 7/2 to 5/2. Stuart Crawford's mare Now Let Go has been nibbled at from 7/1 to 11/2 here. Forever Gold has shown an aptitude for Navan when landing an extended two-and-three-quarter-mile handicap hurdle at the track last month. Edward Cawley's charge steps up to three miles in the Grade C novice handicap chase and Ladbrokes punters have backed him down to 2/1 from 3s. Aurora Bell is not without his backers at Paddy Power (15/2 - 11/2).
In Limerick, it's the bigger-priced horses that are getting attention. Bottom-weight Lunch Master who goes for Philip Rothwell in the handicap hurdle at 3.30, is now 10/1 from 14/1.
Another Rothwell horse, Shrewdoperator has been backed from 14s to 10s in a decent-looking bumper.
