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.
