Apache Stronghold oozes class in Monksfield at Navan
Noel Meade's Apache defense (9/2) was a awfully spectacular winner of a competitive renewal of the Grade two 'Monksfield' Novice Hurdle at Navan on Sunday.
All eight runners were last-time out winners with facile Cork victor Azorian, one among 3 representatives for Gigginstown Stud, sent off the 2/1 favorite.
The Eoin Griffin-trained market leader took them on and was going well turning for home despite many jumping errors, with most of the sector labouring in behind.
That didn't embrace Apache defense, however, World Health Organization cruised into rivalry beneath a unmoving Paul Carberry and also the combine took over from Azorian on the bridle before jumping the last.
Azorian in brief vulnerable to rally, however a mere shake of the reins from Carberry saw Apache defense endure a small mistake at the ultimate flight and he was shortly back on the bridle crossing the road.
Aidan O'Brien's Carriganog (7/2) stayed on for third.
"You aren't getting too several as simple as that, he did it all right," same Carberry subsequently. "He picked up immediately and he may be [Grade one material]."
Meade said: "I thought it had been a awfully robust race beforehand and to win like that's a true bonus.
"Paul same he was ride horseback all the approach and he jumped well excluding the last.
"He did not jump that well the last time in Punchestown - he was slightly lairy once he hit the front.
"He's one thing to appear forward to and also the obvious race is to come back back here for the Grade one Navan Novice Hurdle (December 15).
"At least we've got one to require on Willie (Mullins) with currently.
"Trip wise, he does not need any shorter and he is a chaser extremely."
