Navan Course Guide and Statistics
The course at Navan
Navan is a left-handed, undulating course of about a mile and a half, with a stiff uphill finish. It races on the Flat and over jumps, and its winter jumps meetings are among the most important in Ireland.
Betting at Navan
The stiff finish rewards stamina, and horses that have only won on flatter tracks can struggle. Its November and December meetings often feature leading novice chasers and hurdlers, with the winners becoming Cheltenham candidates.
