Fethard jockey Ben Coen had a double at Navan on Wednesday for trainer Johnny Murtagh

Two Tipperary jockeys rode winners at Navan yesterday.

Fethard rider Ben Coen scored a double with Mile End (6/1) and Maristella (9/4 joint favourite), the two winners providing trainer Johnny Murtagh with 42 winners for the year, his best-ever annual total.

Meanwhile, Nathan Crosse from Cahir had a 12/1 winner in the first race aboard Lovejoy, which is trained by Willie McCreery.
