Next Best: Troy Top

Troy Top may try to take them along over this trip and could possibly hang on for a place, but preference is for C&D winner RED WASP, who represents the in-form Joseph O’Brien stable. She had no luck in running last time out when hampered, but may bounce back now off 2lb lower in the handicap. Navan third Fine Distraction is another for the shortlist, along with Bellewstown runner-up Kilonova, who seems to be progressing with experience.

DOWN ROYAL FORM GUIDE Win: HAZY MEHMORY Next Best: Impero

In this competitive contest the tentative vote goes to the Ger Lyons-trained filly HAZY MEHMORY, who gave a good account when second to an improving rival at Gowran Park last time out. The daughter of Mehmas can make the most of a handy allowance and gets the nod to shed the maiden tag at the fourth time of asking. Impero has been edging towards a first career win and rates the most immediate danger, while True Artist is another to consider.
