Lordan doubles up as Charlie Brow'n lands Navan finale Wayne Lordan completed a double on the card when getting up close home on the Thomond O'Mara trained Charlie Brow'n to win the concluding Sign Up To GavinLynchRacing.com Handicap at Navan. Carrying the colours of Roisin Hickey, the 9/1 chance was recording a first career victory at the 16th time of asking. Held up towards rear, Lordan went sixth over two furlongs from the finish. Ridden to go third 150 yards out, Charlie Brow'n kept on strongly close home to beat Just Another Eagle a head. Wayne Lordan said: "He handles that ground well. "To be fair, he ran quite well when he stepped up to the mile and a-half in Killarney. It (Killarney) is a big, galloping track - I know the two turns are a little bit tight in Killarney - but you've long straights. "He ran okay in Thurles, probably track a little bit tight for him. He's quite a big horse. "Back up to a big, galloping track on soft ground was a help. "He might be a bit of fun for them over the winter, possibly. "He (Thomond O'Mara) said he ran a cracker the last day, track wasn't ideal and just a bit on the tight side for him. He said I know him from Killarney and to go out and do my best."
