DOWN ROYAL FORM GUIDE Win: SPARTAN ARMY Next Best: A Shin Undine

After returning from a break, SPARTAN ARMY (third) finished just behind A Shin Undine (second) in a maiden at Sligo last month but, with that run under his belt, Joseph O’Brien’s colt, wearing a tongue-tie for the first time, can reverse the form. A Shin Undine still showed inexperience on that occasion and should make another bold bid, while newcomer Calvesi, who represents the same stable as the selection, can also have a say.

DOWN ROYAL FORM GUIDE

Win: ROCK OF CANDY

Next Best: Highland King

Highland King is an obvious starting point here as Johnny Murtagh’s charge was nicely clear of Golden Ticket when second at Leopardstown last time. That appeared to show his aptitude for this sort of trip, but he may have to settle for second best behind ROCK OF CANDY today. Jessica Harrington’s filly was off the bridle early at Gowran last time, but flew home once she picked up over that slightly shorter trip and she could be better here. Chaos Control completes the shortlist.

DOWN ROYAL FORM GUIDE

Win: PRIME CHIEF

Next Best: Fennor Cross

PRIME CHIEF made little of a 234-day break to land this contest last year and he can defy an absence once more, despite being 13lb higher this time around. The recent form of his stable is another plus and he can see off the in-form Fennor Cross, who goes in search of a fourth win in his last five starts. The well-handicapped Prince Of Verona is another to note, along with the improving Dudley’s Bar and the very capable All Class, although she probably wants further ideally.

DOWN ROYAL FORM GUIDE Win: COUGAR

Next Best: Manu Et Corde

An intriguing contest in which Manu Et Corde is of interest after a foray in Group company, while, at the other end of the scale, Darraby is respected despite incurring a hefty rise for exploiting a low opening mark at Roscommon. The two to concentrate on, however, could be handicap debutants Shajak, a good winner at Tipperary last month, and COUGAR, who, despite not having won a maiden, looks underestimated by this opening mark of 84 with the step up in trip likely to suit.

DOWN ROYAL FORM GUIDE Win: BUSSELTON Next Best: Dancila

Dancila produced a creditable effort when runner-up behind a smart prospect at Fairyhouse on his latest start and can produce a bold showing. However, he may have to settle for minor honours behind talented chaser BUSSELTON, who has his first run on the Flat for Joseph O’Brien after posting some useful performances over obstacles. Royal Romeo brings solid bumper form to the table and is worthy of consideration, while Scenic Look, who has shown potential in this sphere, cannot be dismissed either.
