DOWN ROYAL FORM GUIDE

Win: LAND LOVER

Results

Next Best: Dark Enigma

An open-looking handicap to kick things off, in which LAND LOVER shades the verdict. With the blinkers back on and more aggressive tactics adopted, he ran out a comfortable winner over 6f at Sligo and remains open to improvement on just his fourth start for the shrewd Denis Hogan stable. He could be challenged for the lead again by Dark Enigma, who was third behind the selection at Sligo and demands respect under Shane Foley. Charles Atlas is one of a few more with claims.

DOWN ROYAL FORM GUIDE

Win: KAILASA

Next Best: Betula

Betula was a fine fourth behind Ylang Ylang on debut, which may have earned her a tilt at a Group 2. She came up short there, and was only fifth back in maiden company on her final run at two, but this isn’t nearly as competitive. Even so, she is passed over in favour of KAILASA, who has race fitness on her side after offering plenty of encouragement at the Curragh and Limerick. Better is predicted from Labhaoise on her return.

DOWN ROYAL FORM GUIDE

Next Best: Pandion Power

MORE PROFIT wasn’t disgraced on her handicap debut when finishing sixth after being pitched in against older horses at Naas. The drop back in trip is unlikely to be an inconvenience to Gavin Cromwell’s filly and she appeals as having more to offer Pandion Power arguably produced his best effort to date when second at Gowran earlier in the month and he commands plenty of respect, while others likely to enter the reckoning include Special Angel and Poppadom.

DOWN ROYAL FORM GUIDE

Countess Of Tyrone

FALCON EIGHT seemed to show that plenty of his old zest remains with a creditable effort in the Chester Cup and Dermot Weld’s grand veteran may have too much class for his rivals at this level. Countess Of Tyrone improved significantly for going up in trip at Gowran Park and a further rise to 2m could eke out more improvement in this unexposed daughter of Australia. Unbeaten in two starts on the level, Party Central is another to consider, along with The Very Man.

DOWN ROYAL FORM GUIDE

Win: ZARIYGANN Next Best: Samui

ZARIYGANN looks to have the strongest claims after running on into third at Sligo, although he will need to start rolling slightly earlier to get to the front where it matters. That was a much improved effort and gives him every chance on his second start of the season. Useful hurdler Samui could be interesting if he has the speed for this trip on his Flat debut. Killarney second Free Flow and Churchwarden, who was highly tried as a juvenile hurdler, are others worthy of serious consideration.

DOWN ROYAL FORM GUIDE

Win: STEP TO SOMEWHERE Next Best: Sportingsilvermine

Sportingsilvermine almost sprung a surprise in a Cork handicap and the application of cheekpieces may not need to inspire too much improvement. Latin also drops out of handicap company, while Gleaning has to be respected for her powerhouse yard. Punta Coco is in with a shout, but STEP TO SOMEWHERE is open to the most progression and is fancied to build on her debut fifth in a decent Dundalk maiden.
