A review of the rest of Navan where The Gurkha stated his Classic case and Aidan OBrien had an update on US Ranger. Nathaniel Clyne England Jersey . Aasheq was a disappointment as The Gurkha stretched right away with the Kilberry (C & G) Maiden at Navan.The former had been second to Investec Derby favourite US Army Ranger in what looked a hot maiden at the Curragh but while quickening into contention two and a half furlongs out, he could never get to Moore on The Gurkha, who was never out of cruise control. Completing a treble for the Aidan OBrien team, The Gurkha came forward markedly from his Leopardstown third on debut as he strode on in impressive fashion from the front, slamming Saafarr by nine lengths.Rabbie The Bard was third, with 8-11 market leader Aasheq fading to be well beaten.Paddy Power eased US Army Ranger by a point to 5-1 for Epsom, installing The Gurkha at 16-1.OBrien said: He had a good draw and it worked out lovely. Seamie (Heffernan) loved him at Leopardstown, he was mad about him when he came in and Ryan was mad about him there.We thought he might be a French Guineas horse, he came forward lovely and youd be delighted with him today.Hes only a baby but probably learned a lot the first day, even though he got beaten. If we could get one (another run) in between we would, but its not essential.I asked Ryan if hed get further (than a mile) - he said a mile and a quarter but he wasnt sure after that. Hes a horse with a lot of pace, I wouldnt be sure about a mile and a half.Its Ryans first time here and he was very complimentary about the track.He added of US Army Ranger: Thats the route were going with US Army Ranger and always was - the Curragh, then a trial, then Epsom.He has an option between Chester and the Derrinstown and its very possible he will go to Chester. Theres a big atmosphere there, with tight bends and he has to learn a lot in a short space of time.The earlier win for Hyzenthlay was officially for OBrien but in effect was a first two-year-old winner for son Joseph, who supervised her preparation at the familys Piltown base in County Kilkenny.OBrien junior said: She was going nicely and showing plenty of speed. It was our first two-year-old to run from the hill (in Piltown) and we were not sure what kind of marker we had on them.We werent going to run her because of the ground. She might be a stakes-type filly.OBrien seniors second winner was Pretty Perfect in the Listed Salsabil Stakes (see separate race report).Denise Foster enjoyed a notable big-race success as Lilys Rainbow won the Listed Heritage Stakes over a mile.On a day where those racing prominently fared particularly well, Billy Lees mount soon led, in company with Dragon Fei and Flight Risk close behind in third.The 16-1 chance held a clear advantage a furlong and a half out and stayed on strongly to score by three and a quarter lengths from Brendan Brackan.Lee said: That was brilliant, to be fair to Denise she said she was well, she has form on the ground and she stays well. There was no pace, so I was happy to let her bowl along in front and she enjoyed it.I knew she had a bit left in the tank and she galloped all the way to the line. You have to grind it out in that ground and she gets a mile and a quarter well.Foster, who currently has five horses in training, was recording her first win at Listed level.She said: Shes a completely different filly this year. She is so much more relaxed both at home and in the way she runs.I cant believe it, but the one thing she has is a huge heart and she kept finding more and more.I was really happy with her in the last few weeks, but I was just hoping she could finish third.

Tavares waited until a Capitals defenseman slid, then moved towards the hashmarks before scoring on a wriister. Ryan Bertrand Jersey. It kind of just skipped up and I saw the guy coming at me so I just tried to make a fake on him and freeze him, said Tavares. I got around him and saw the far side there low and just tried to hit the spot. Anders Lee and Travis Hamonic supplied additional offense for New York, with Strome chipping in two assists. Jaroslav Halak came up with 25 saves for the win. Halak improved his career record against the Capitals to 4-4-0 and he could get the start again tonight.

Braden Holtby played well in defeat, making 32 stops, and Backstrom added a pair of assists. The start wasnt great, but after that I thought we went toe-to-toe with them, said Capitals coach Barry Trotz. Holtby is 5-1-1 with a 2.07 GAA in seven career games against the Isles. Both the Capitals and Isles will be in action tomorrow, with Washington visiting Toronto and New York returning home to face the New Jersey Devils.
