Paddy Magee recorded his first double when Admiral Will Brown landed the Navan Handicap on his first start for the County Cavan trainer this afternoon.

Successful earlier on the card with 22/1 chance Shesthedevil Magee followed up as the Barry Judge-owned three-year-old scored a cosy win under Wesley Joyce.

A 10/1 shot, he kicked a few lengths clear a furlong out and was well on top as Andy Slattery’s 7/1 chance Letiza got to win three-parts of a length at the line. The winner was running from 5lbs out of the handicap proper.

Magee said: “Barry (Judge) bred him and had him and always liked him. I actually broke him as a young horse.

“I only have him about three weeks or a month. His work has been good.

“He got a good ride, and everything came together.”
