Navan 1:07 Result

Big maiden hurdle field but En Or stands out on class - OR113 is the highest in the field alongside Minella Post, and he's been running well fresh with a recent 2nd (12 days ago) suggesting he's spot on and progressive. Trained by A.J. Martin who knows how to place these types, and the runner-up effort last time out over an unknown trip suggests he's crying out for this type of contest to finally break his maiden tag. Ivatt (Elliott/Kennedy) is interesting on pedigree with a solid 3rd on debut, but lightly raced and unproven. Minella Post shares similar profile/rating to En Or but his form figures show more inconsistency (0-FP2) with a fall in there. Gordon Elliott has two runners (Penny Express, Ivatt) which can muddy stable intentions, but Jack Kennedy taking the ride on Ivatt over the more experienced Penny Express is a booking to note - however Ivatt's solitary run form (form: 3) is too scant to fully trust yet. O'Reilly (OR110) is old and consistent but seems to plateau at 3rd/6th rather than winning. En Or's Timeform-type profile (highest RPR in the field, fit having run recently, race-fit trainer) gives him the yard's business end without being spoiled by a short price given this is a big 19-runner maiden - realistic each-way/win value at his forecast odds given the engine class he brings to a race full of unexposed sorts.
