DOWN ROYAL FORM GUIDE

Win: EYE VAN Next Best: Sam Magee

EYE VAN, who was a good second in a Grade 3 novice hurdle at Clonmel in February, is hard to oppose back in maiden company and is presented with a solid opportunity to finally get a win registered in the form book. Sam Magee, an expensive recruit from the pointing scene, is highly respected on his hurdles debut, while Smooth Player looks the pick of Gordon Elliott’s three possible runners. Barometer and Ottizzini are others open to improvement and are others to consider.

DOWN ROYAL FORM GUIDE

It is hard to look past the Gordon Elliott-trained MEL MONROE, who made a pleasing start to her Rules career when finishing a good second in a Galway bumper in October. She won a point-to-point over 3m in March so could benefit from a slightly stiffer stamina test, but Mollys Glory has proven to be better than her latest run suggests and should not be taken lightly. Ifiwerearichman and Bleu D’enfer also warrant consideration.

DOWN ROYAL FORM GUIDE

Win: PRESENTING MEGHAN

Next Best: Bellaney Gem

Bellaney Gem has won off higher marks in the past and sports a first-timer visor here as she aims to get back to her best. She could go well if the headgear has the desired affect, while Fox Le Bel may prove popular in the betting, though his best recent form is over further than this. A chance is taken on C&D winner PRESENTING MEGHAN, who drops back in trip on her second start for new connections after weakening late on at Navan, and could do better for it off 3lb lower in the handicap.

DOWN ROYAL FORM GUIDE Win: CHAVEZ Next Best: Salmanino

An impressive winner at Ascot when last seen in March, CHAVEZ looks to have been found an ideal opportunity on his first start for the powerful Willie Mullins stable. The unexposed six-year-old may have too much for Salmanino, who is a key player on the back of a strong runner-up effort at Cork on his second chase start last month. Of the other newcomers to this sphere, Innovated and Pats Choice look capable of being in the shake-up.

Win: WALKING THE WALK Next Best: Know The Game

WALKING THE WALK came good at the fourth time of asking for Gordon Elliott, with the first-time blinkers doing the trick at Tramore. A 9lb hike in the ratings will make his life tougher, but there could be more to come. The lightly-raced Know The Game could go well if seeing out this longer distance and may prove the chief threat to the selection. Fellow last-time-out winner Highstreetfashion, Zagnzig and chase debutant Glenmalure Lodge are others to note.

DOWN ROYAL FORM GUIDE Win: THE STORYTELLER Next Best: Vaucelet

Vaucelet merits the utmost respect having chased home Billaway in the Champion Hunters Chase at Punchestown in April, but preference is for THE STORYTELLER. Gordon Elliott’s gelding was a Grade 1winner over this course and distance two years ago and his recent form between the flags has been very encouraging. Brain Power is another who is likely to go well, while Singing Banjo and Snow Falcon complete the shortlist.

DOWN ROYAL FORM GUIDE

Win: FAULTY

Next Best: Attaboyarchie

FAULTY ran with plenty of promise when runner-up to a leading fancy for the Champion Bumper here last month and he wouldn’t need to improve much on that display to go one better. Attaboyarchie has stepped forward considerably on his last couple of starts and his recent second at Fairyhouse gives him every chance of being in the mix. Lucky Lyreen is capable of better following his fourth here in May, while others for the shortlist include Boldog and Onehellofagetaway.
