Races SRP Down Royal - IRE

Not raced for four months. Appeared just once last time in and finished seventh in a bumper (3319m) at Punchestown, beaten 49 lengths. Has ability but tested this line-up.

Returns for new trainer today. One of the primary contenders.

Mixing the disciplines recently. Unplaced two back on the flat then filled a minor prize last start in a maiden hurdle (3218m) at Leopardstown, beaten 8 lengths. Finds a suitable assignment and can return to winning form.

Disappointed when ninth in a maiden hurdle (3218m) at Thurles first-up from a spell. Others make more appeal.

Not seen since finishing ninth over 1609m on the flat at Dundalk All Weather 11 days ago. Lining up over the jumps for the first time. Looks tested this line-up.

Returns from a spell. Closed the last campaign with a minor placing in a maiden hurdle (3218m) at Naas, beaten 14 lengths. Definite winning chance.

Had just two runs last campaign and went to the paddock after finishing sixth in a maiden hurdle (3319m) at Limerick.

Gelding by Fascinating Rock out of Codger's Gift. Tough test at his first appearance so prefer to see.

Well held last start in a maiden hurdle (4123m) at Ayr finishing fifth and beaten 17 lengths. Strong finish latest and looks a key chance again.

Made up plenty of ground with a fast finishing fourth at Naas on debut over 3218m. Appears to be a gelding with upside and rates a top chance.

Opened the campaign with a respectable third in a point to point (4828m) at Turtulla P2p then last start missed the placings in a maiden hurdle (3218m) at Leopardstown over two weeks ago. Won't find this easy.

Back from a 65-day break. Finished off last campaign when 15th in a maiden hurdle (3319m) at Punchestown, beaten 60 lengths. Rates a minor hope only this line-up.

Was very good when returning from a 318-day layoff most recently, beaten 2.75 lengths into second in a maiden hurdle (4123m) at Thurles. That run was the first for the Willie Mullins stable. Strips fitter and is again a top chance.

Back from a 67-day break. Finished off last campaign when eighth in a maiden hurdle (3218m) at Naas, beaten 27 lengths. Expected to go very well.

Eased out of the race on debut two starts back. Followed that up with a 11th in a maiden hurdle (3218m) at Fairyhouse last time out. Harder assignment today.

Finished fourth and never threatened last start in a hurdle (3218m) at Fairyhouse when beaten 11 lengths. Strong run latest and can measure up this time.

Doesn't win out of turn, the latest effort a ninth when beaten 38 lengths in a maiden hurdle (3218m) at Leopardstown. Confidence low and improvement needed to feature.

Lightly-raced five-year-old who was unplaced on debut then clocked-in tenth in a maiden hurdle (3218m) at Fairyhouse last time out. This looks a stern test.

Six-year-old who has had 18 attempts and yet to break through. Found the going hard again in a maiden hurdle (3419m) at this track when beaten 67 lengths at very long odds. Needs easier.

Resuming after having just one career start. Kicked off career in a hurdle at Cork back in October 12, and was safely held when fourth and beaten 9 lengths. Better for the experience but others have better credentials.

Five-year-old gelding who has been sent out long odds in recent runs, and has performed accordingly. Likely to go around at long odds again and others appear better placed.

Yet to find the frame in two career runs, the latest finishing 20th in a bumper (3319m) at Punchestown before a break. May have improved but appears tested in this line up.

Will start at long odds here after two average efforts of late. Looking to others.
