Whateys on a Navan Quest Whateys Quest bids to double his total over fences in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Handicap Steeplechase at Navan tomorrow. The seven-year-old gelding ran well for a long way before finishing third in a valuable handicap chase over an extended two-miles-five-furlongs in Cork last month. He's down towards the bottom end of the handicap in this extended two-and-a-half-mile assignment. Trainer Charles Byrnes said: "He's very good and we are very happy with him (since Cork) "He gets through the testing ground and he doesn't really stay three miles, so I'd say two and a-half miles is ideal. "He'll be there or thereabouts." The son of Quest For Peace was last victorious in a handicap chase at Limerick over Christmas 2024. He also has a maiden hurdle success in his locker from Clonmel the same year.
