DOWN ROYAL FORM GUIDE

Win: FAULTY

Next Best: Clonshire River

FAULTY returned from a 364-day break to finish 11 lengths ahead of Lightkeeper when just denied at Punchestown last month, which was a highly encouraging display. Noel Meade’s gelding sets the standard on the back of that effort and he could be the one to beat. As for the latter, he continues to get closer and it would be no surprise to see him on the premises once again. Of the remainder, Clonshire River appeals most following his runner-up display at Thurles last month.

DOWN ROYAL FORM GUIDE

Win: ROWDY ROMEO

Next Best: Billy Lee Swagger

ROWDY ROMEO was value for more than the winning margin when scoring over further at Thurles earlier in the month and dropping back in trip should hold no fears off a 6lb higher mark. The seven-year-old’s chief threats look to be Cave Court, who switches back to the smaller obstacles, as well as the narrow Gowran Park second Billy Lee Swagger. Completing the shortlist are the likes of Must Go Now, Paddy’s Milestone and West Away.

DOWN ROYAL FORM GUIDE

Win: SILENT FLIGHT

Next Best: Maimie’s Magic

SILENT FLIGHT was value for further when opening his account over this distance at Punchestown last time out and a 9lb rise may not be enough to prevent the gelding from completing a double. Fellow in-form rival Maimie’s Magic could emerge as the biggest danger if gaining an easy lead and the seven-year-old shouldn’t be taken lightly. The reappearing Subset also makes some appeal on this switch to hurdles.

THANKS TO OUR SPONSORS

Down Royal Racecourse would like to thank Bluegrass Horse Feed and Punchestown Full Circle Series for their generous sponsorship of today’s meeting.

DOWN ROYAL FORM GUIDE

Win: STOCKDALE

Next Best: Golden Nugget

Golden Nugget improved on her handicap debut effort to finish a much better seventh at Navan in December, and she could progress again to get closer off an unchanged mark. However, the vote goes to STOCKDALE, who was dropped 1lb for her fifth at Navan last month. The eight-year-old filled the runner-up berth on her penultimate start over 2m1f here and she could be the one to beat if running to a similar level. Perfect Arch wasn’t disgraced on his most recent outing at Fairyhouse and is capable of being in the mix.

This looks like an ideal opportunity for the talented CLASSIC GETAWAY to get back to winning ways, having been nabbed late on in a Grade 3 at Tramore on New Year’s Day. Going back up in trip at this track should suit following his Leopardstown no-show and he is preferred to stablemate Adamantly Chosen and last year’s winner Longhouse Poet, who looks to be taking this in again as a prep for the Grand National.

DOWN ROYAL FORM GUIDE

Win: NEVERADULLMOMENT

Results

Next Best: St Denis’s Well

The suspicion is that NEVERADULLMOMENT was slightly stretched by the step up to 3m when finishing fourth at Navan last month. This step down in trip may see him end up in the winner’s enclosure for his in-form stable. Joshua Webb has been running consistently well this season and, after an admirable second over 2m4f at Clonmel most recently, he can give the selection most to think about. The booking of Jack Kennedy aboard St Denis’s Well catches the eye and he completes the shortlist.

DOWN ROYAL FORM GUIDE

Win: GLOBAL ASSEMBLY

Next Best: Romeo Magico

Trainer David Christie has landed three of the previous four renewals of this contest and he is taken to enhance that record further with GLOBAL ASSEMBLY. The son of Kayf Tara wasn’t at his best last time out, when finishing a remote third at Thurles, but he had posted two solid efforts in this sphere prior and may improve not just for the addition of first-time blinkers, but also dropping back in trip. Romeo Magico, who was on target at Limerick over the festive period, is feared most, while Neo King might prove to be best of the remainder.

DOWN ROYAL FORM GUIDE

Win: AMANHA

Next Best: Half Past Tipsy

This represents the easiest task so far for AMANHA, who has had to contend with some smart sorts from the Willie Mullins stable on all three career outings. She has shaped well on each occasion, though, and the experience gained may be enough for her to see off costly newcomer Half Past Tipsy, who was a convincing winner of a point-to-point in November and begins life under Rules for leading connections. The well-bred Disco Dancer and Florance are capable of being in the mix as well.
