Down Royal

Today, July 18, 2025Flat5f

HERO OF THE HOUR shared the spoils in this race last year and looks primed for another big run after a promising second at Bellewstown recently. Realtin Fantasy bounced back to form when a neck second at Tipperary with cheekpieces back on and remains on a workable mark. Lakota Lady shaped better than the result at Naas and may improve back at 5f.

    Best effort was third in a 5f Bellewstown handicap in April. Finished 5th of 15 in a 6f handicap at Naas (22/1) 13 days ago in first-time blinkers, shaped better than result having raced on unfavoured part of track. May be capable of better back at 5f with blinkers now removed.
