Down Royal

Tomorrow, Hurdle2m

KALYPSO'CHANCE was sent off favourite for a Champion Bumper that has produced multiple winners and this looks a good opportunity to make a successful start over hurdles. Stepdance was progressive on the Flat this summer and is improving over hurdles, she may prove next best, while Jony R looks capable of hitting the frame again if settling better on reappearance.

    Verdict
    British point winner looked an exciting prospect when making it 2-2 in a listed bumper at Navan. Beaten favourite when ninth in a Champion Bumper that has produced plenty of winners and clearly wasn't himself at Punchestown in April. The one to beat on hurdles debut.

    Verdict
    €150,000 3-y-o, Doctor Dino gelding. Dam, French hurdle/chase winner up to 2¾m, closely related to useful French hurdler/chaser (2m-19f winner) Jazz In Montreux. Interesting newcomer but likely to be the yard second-string.

    Verdict
    Progressive when landing a Flat hat-trick this summer and built on promising hurdle debut when fifth of 16 in novice hurdle at Thurles (15.8f, good to soft) 16 days ago. That form has been franked and she's likely to improve again.

    Verdict
    Useful on Flat (stays 1½m), won listed event at Merano (Italy) in 2024 for previous connections. Given a considerate introduction to hurdles at Naas in April and should be fit following two (below-par) outings on the Flat. Hood on for hurdle return and likely to be capable of better at some stage.

    Verdict
    Listed placed in Germany last year but only a fair performer on Flat for current yard (stays 16.5f). Ran better than for a while when fifth of 12 in handicap at Thurles (16.3f, good to soft) 23 days ago, for all he looked a tricky ride. Market should guide expectations on hurdle debut.

    Verdict
    €42,000 3-y-o, Mastercraftsman mare. Sister to a winner and half-sister to fair (temperamental) 1¼m-14.5f winner Can Can Girl. Last of 2 finishers on sole completed start in points, pulled up last time (Feb 2025). Wears tongue strap for Rules debut and likely competing for minor honours.

    Verdict
    Inexpensive purchase is bred more for speed than stamina in jumps terms but shaped in contrast when fifth of 9 in novice hurdle (10/1) at Sligo (20f, good to soft) on NH debut 8 days ago, struggled with the pace. Drop back in trip suggests he's being campaigned with handicaps in mind.

    Kalanisi mare. Sister to fairly useful hurdler Sassy Diva, stayed 2½m. Dam unraced half-sister to smart hurdler/fairly useful chaser (stays 2¾m) Dressedtothenines and useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 2½m) Pay The Piper. Makes some appeal on paper and worth a market check on debut.

    Modest handicapper on Flat (likely to stay 2m) and was tailed off in juvenile maiden at Naas on hurdling debut. Creditable effort sixth of 23 in handicap at Navan (14f, soft) 10 days ago but plenty to prove back in this sphere.
