Gavin Cromwell enjoyed a successful afternoon with Midnight It Is and Individualiste providing a double on the card
Gordon Ellott: 'I’d say he’s a smart horse, he’s a good horse,” said Elliott of the gelding Kalypso who is now 7-1 from 8-1 for the Champion Bumper. Photograph: Tom Maher/Inphos Kalypso impressed with a neat victory in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Future Champions INH Flat Race at Navan on Sunday.
The former lined up for the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Handicap Chase under Sean Flanagan, starting at 10-1 when returning to action after a lengthy absence having last been seen in January. “He had to battle, I was definitely a little bit worried for a while,” Cromwell said of the victory. “He got the jump at the last and he was gutsy enough. A Wave Of The Sea is a classy horse on his day.
The five-year-old switched to the stable ahead of the season and got off to a winning start when landing a Thurles handicap last month.“We’re delighted. He settled much better today so he was able to ride him that bit closer and he picked up nicely,” said Byrnes. Glen Kiln took the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Handicap Hurdle over 2½ miles for owner and trainer Michael Bowe, a comfortable six-length success under Brian Hayes at 9-2.
“He’s from Sweet Kiln and Limestone Lad’s family. We had great luck with them around this track years ago so it’s great to be back here. We haven’t had a winner in Navan for many years.
