DOWN ROYAL FORM GUIDE Win: BRINGBACKMEMORIES Next Best: Surac

The first-time-out winners are all respected, particularly Surac and The Insider, while Pepsiwithacap has plenty of experience under her belt and shouldn’t be underestimated. Shetland Tony and Calico also hold claims for Gordon Elliott, but a chance is taken on hurdling newcomer BRINGBACKMEMORIES. John McConnell only recently purchased the three-year-old from Ger Lyons, but he boasts some solid Flat form and should go close if taking to this discipline.

DOWN ROYAL FORM GUIDE

Win: COME ON DU BERLAIS

Next Best: Game Beaaa

COME ON DU BERLAIS won a bumper at Kelso in May and bumped into a useful prospect when finishing second on her hurdling debut earlier in the month. A reproduction of either of those efforts would give her a big chance today. Game Beaaa is an obvious threat to the selection following her narrow defeat at Tramore a couple of weeks ago, while Scenic Look and Angelsworknovrtime are others to note.

DOWN ROYAL FORM GUIDE Win: DOYENNA Next Best: Makfils

A case could be made for several in this field, but the unexposed DOYENNA recorded her best run to date over 2m earlier this month and it seems there could well be more in her locker on her handicap debut. Makfils kept on well for fourth in a competitive handicap last time out and he would be foolish to discount given the stable he represents, while Bite That and Peace Party should be respected.

DOWN ROYAL FORM GUIDE

Evenwood Sonofagun is an obvious choice after his second at Tramore last time out, but he has had seven chances over hurdles without success and a chance is taken on FINNTHEMAGICIAN. The winner of a Perth bumper last time out, he steps up in trip for his hurdling debut which may bring about plenty of improvement. Champella has placed in all three bumpers, including a win here in June, and is another who has to be of interest.

Having chased some top-notchers, including Honeysuckle, home on plenty of occasions over the years, RONALD PUMP faces a much easier assignment.

Chief Seattle was unlucky not to register his second career victory when second at Ballinrobe on Monday and he should go well again off the same mark, but SUPREME VINNIE looked in need of a stiffer test when finishing strongly at Tramore and, with Rachael Blackmore on board, the veteran is fancied to get his head back in front over this longer trip. It’s still early days for Dicebox so with the potential of more to come, he can’t be discounted either.

DOWN ROYAL FORM GUIDE

Win: JETARA

Next Best: Cash The Cheque

JETARA raced too freely to do herself justice in a Grade 3 contest at the Punchestown Festival in April, when only beating home one rival. She made a winning debut prior to it at Fairyhouse earlier that month and it is possible the quick turnaround may have impacted her performance. Cash The Cheque has improved with each outing and is one to note following her victory at Sligo, while Ginnets Girl and Boujee appeal most of the remainder.
