Lee in fine form ahead of Navan return Home By The Lee is reported in fine form ahead of his seasonal debut in the Railway Bar Lismullen Hurdle at Navan on Saturday. Joseph O’Brien’s charge had a terrific season last term, winning the Stayers’ Hurdle at Cheltenham and following up with another Grade 1 success at Aintree. Regular jockey JJ Slevin is looking forward to getting him back in action this weekend and he told Dave Keena:- “He’s in really good shape, he’s fresh and really well. “Joseph is bringing him along a bit steadier this year than maybe in previous years. “We’re hoping for the best, he’s fresh and really well and has all his enthusiasm. “He’s mentally very tough, he’s just a hardy customer, a real fighter and a phenomenal horse really. He loves his racing and is a real warrior.”
