Review navan 19th Mar

A Toi Phil 's victory in the Webster Cup Chase was the highlight of a brilliant five-timer for Gordon Elliott at Navan.

Nearly Nama'd made the early running in the Grade Two before Mozoltov went on passing the stands with a circuit to travel, but he was headed again by Nearly Nama'd and A Toi Phil early in the straight.

Ruby Walsh appeared to be confident on A Toi Phil, who accelerated into the final obstacle and got over it well en route to an eight-length triumph as the 6-5 favourite.

Challow runner-up Baltazar D'Allier was all the rage for the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Novice Hurdle but odds-on backers knew their fate early on when he hit the deck.

Elliott still won the race, though, with the front-running Monbeg Notorious (100-30) finding plenty for pressure to keep Augustin five and a half lengths at bay in the hands of Denis O'Regan.

Elliott followed up when the Davy Russell-ridden Chirico Vallis banished last week's Gowran mishap to the memory with a comfortable success in the Bective Restaurant Maiden Hurdle as the 4-7 favourite, and was also on the scoresheet thanks to Sanibel Island 's victory in the Kilberry Handicap Hurdle.

The 4-1 chance travelled sweetly into contention after jumping two out and responded well to pressure to get the better of Grand Partner by three and a half lengths, with O'Regan again doing the steering.

The Elliott five-timer was completed by Minellafordollars in the Navan Race Members (Pro/Am) Flat Race.

The biggest prize of the afternoon was up for grabs in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Novice Handicap Chase Final and went the way of Mick The Jiver .

The Eoghan O'Grady-trained 3-1 shot disputed the lead with Kilcarry Bridge turning for home and dug really deep for David Splaine to cross the line six and a half lengths to the good, while Sunsetstorise (13-2) denied Ontopoftheworld in the www.navanracecourse.ie Handicap Chase.
