Happy Henry, sent off at 12/1, won the 5f handicap at Navan on good ground, beating Hugo's Girl by three-quarters of a length with An Laochmor third. Happy Henry was slow into stride and settled in midfield before being short of room with two furlongs left. He was switched and made steady progress to move into second inside the final furlong, then kept battling to get his head in front on the line. Hugo's Girl, who also broke slowly and raced in midfield, was asked for her effort two furlongs out, moved into second inside the final furlong but was edged back to second on the line.
