DOWN ROYAL FORM GUIDE Win: ANNA BUNINA Next Best: Shesadream

ANNA BUNINA cemented her reputation when winning the Grade 2 Scottish Champion Hurdle at Ayr in April. She was a shade disappointing at Haydock on her next run but bounced back in superb style to win a Listed race at Killarney on her latest outing. Shesadream must be feared having recorded a career-best performance over 2m3f at Limerick last time, while Sit Down Lucy is another for the shortlist marginally down in trip.

Win: BANKS BOY

Next Best: Champ De Gane

If they go off too fast then Cocoplum could have a say if she can put in a clear round after falling when closing in over further at Leopardstown last time, but she may still struggle to cope with BANKS BOY. This looks his easiest assignment yet and, if he can repeat the form of his January Navan second, he may prove hard to beat Champ De Gane would have a chance if he could recapture the form of his bumper second and transfer that to hurdles.

DOWN ROYAL FORM GUIDE Win: RUN FOR PAT Next Best: Bout Time Bobby

Gordon Elliott rarely leaves any Down Royal meeting without a winner and RUN FOR PAT could be primed to break the maiden tag at the seventh time of asking. Not beaten far on his last two outings at Tipperary and Ayr, the drop in trip could prove ideal as he looks to fend off the challenge of Bout Time Bobby, who is a player based on the pick of his form from last season. Sholsang went close over fences here last month and he can have a say, along with Dovlator.

DOWN ROYAL FORM GUIDE Win: SWEET WILL Next Best: Deo Bellator

In a wide-open event the marginal preference is for SWEET WILL, who won over hurdles at Cork in March off a 7lb lower mark. The five-year-old was then successful over fences at Kilbeggan and confirmed his well-being with an encouraging effort on the Flat last time. Kingfisher Lane and Deo Bellator are recent winners who could give the selection plenty to think about, while The Grey Lad and Fil The Power have each-way claims.

Gordon Elliott boasts a strong hand with his trio of runners headed by BRAVO TEAM. A faller at Kelso on his latest start, the application of first-time cheekpieces on his handicap debut is likely to bring about improvement from a horse that could be fairly treated, especially on his bumper form. His stable companions, Don Diablo and Curlew Hill, both return from lengthy absences and the pair are expected to be competitive, while Elite Des Mottes and Turbojet appear best of the remainder.

DOWN ROYAL FORM GUIDE

Win: CHAMPELLA

Next Best: Jumping Susie

CHAMPELLA defied a price of 20/1 when finishing second on her debut over this course and distance. She kept on strongly and went second inside the final furlong, boasting plenty of encouragement for her future career. Jumping Susie has been progressive recently and could benefit from cutting back in distance, while Iconography cannot be taken lightly on her debut for a top stable.

Win: MISS FOURIE Next Best: Single Edition

MISS FOURIE has improved no end since joining the Gavin Cromwell stable and her most recent effort in a Grade 3 bumper at the Punchestown Festival appeals as the best form on offer. She may have gone off at unfancied odds on that occasion, but she emerged with plenty of credit and the weight she receives here could be enough to see off C&D winner Single Edition. The Last Mardi rallied bravely to get off the mark at Ballinrobe but a 7lb penalty makes life tougher.
