Down Royal

Tomorrow, May 5, 2025Chase3m2f

The veteran SMITTY BACALL belatedly opened his chase account when returning from a break over this C&D last month and he looks capable of defying a 7 lb rise in the weights. If Quest With Speed bounces back to his best he will be a big threat, while Sea Aster is also likely to play a part.

    Verdict
    Didn't need to improve to win 10-runner handicap chase at this C&D (good, 15/2) 22 days ago. More needed up 7 lb but recent winning form is at a premium in this contest, so he's a must for the shortlist.

    Verdict
    Fairly useful winner at 26f over hurdles. 7/1, pulled up in handicap chase at Fairyhouse (26f, soft) 100 days ago, tailed off when pulled up 5 out. Would have an each-way chance if back to something like his best.

    Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Sixth of 8 in handicap hurdle (11/2) at Limerick (21.3f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase and up in trip. Claims if he puts his best foot forward.
