Analysis

2.10 Down Royal

Denise Foster has a pretty useful hurdler in the form of Pike County, who caught my eye after 11 weeks off when seventh of 28 in a 2m4f handicap at Leopardstown (soft) 28 days ago, making late headway and not being knocked about. Indeed, I would say that was a pretty easy race the selection was given and I expect the gelding to be more competitive today.

3.20 Leicester

The German horse, Zuckerberg, is yet to win in this country and trainer Jennie Candish must be tearing her hair out trying to find the opportunity for him as he constantly runs decent races without getting his head in front. Indeed, he has been placed in 50% (7/14) chases and won just once. Hopefully, he’ll finally get his head in front today.
