2/1
Off the mark second time of asking in bumpers, winning over 2m4f at Kilbeggan in July (good), down in trip for hurdles bow but should go well for champion trainer/jockey.

4/1
Dual-bumper winner in March 2016, clearly had some issues since then and hard to gauge ability level now for first jumping test. Watch betting.

14/1
Bumper winner here last August, can be given a chance on the best of her maiden hurdle form but comes here off the back of a disappointing run at Cork last month.

Lightly-raced mare has been improving with each of her three starts over timber to date, hit the frame last month in 23-runner Cork maiden over this trip. Possibly more to come yet.

6/1
Bumper winner at Wexford in July (2m, yielding) and pleasing start over hurdles since at Tramore when second to odds-on winner from the Mullins yard. Drops back significantly in trip from that hurdles run now.

Horse silk

Filly was a modest winner on the Flat and a shock if she proves up to a winning start now changing code.

Slowly getting the hang of things in maiden hurdles, best effort last time at Sligo (2m, yielding) when under 2L second of seven. Could run into the place money.

7/2
Has become costly to follow, runner-up having gone off favourite on three most recent starts over variety of trips. Suspicion that 2m may be sharp enough after last effort at Cork.

Only modest efforts recorded in bumpers last year and off the track since tame showing on AW at Dundalk in November. First start for new yard.

Mare was completely tailed off in a bumper at Kilbeggan last week on rules debut, not easy to make any case for a turnaround with the hurdles in her path here and cheekpieces added.

66/1
Never a factor in sole hurdles outings at Downpatrick in May (2m, good) having gone off at 40/1, off since and uphill task ahead here seemingly.

Horse silk
50/1
Mare showed very little in two maiden hurdles when in the care of Gordon Elliott, she has now been off the track for 780 days and is not fancied for a winning return based on old form.

Beaten 22L in a maiden hurdle over this trip at Sligo on yielding ground 10 days ago, may be capable of better effort.

Sent off big prices for maiden hurdles at Limerick and Downpatrick this summer, without ever threatening to cause an upset. Back down in trip this time, others better placed.

Unplaced in seven starts over hurdles and has yet to threaten over a variety of trips, drops to the minimum again here but is easily bypassed.

15L third of 10 last month at Ballinrobe in 2m1½f maiden hurdle on yielding ground, will have to better the form to improve on finishing position on this fourth start over timber.

17:05 Down Royal - 1 September 2017 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

It's hard to get away from COURT ARTIST for her powerful connections, she got off the mark in good style in her second bumper outing and should have no worries dropping back in trip for this mission. Osco Mosco chassed home a stablemate of the selection on her jumps bow at Tramore and can get involved once more, while Delayed Eloquence should feature in the shake-up but has become accustomed to finishing second and is expensive to follow. Peggy's Acre can be given a chance of running into the minor money.
