Won his maiden here last year and doubled his carer tally when scoring at Navan earlier this month. Should be competitive with his 5lb rise and Billy Lee is 1-1 on him.

Improved for front-running tactics to get off the mark at Fairyhouse last month over 6f. Failed to build on that only run since and now drops down to the minimum distance for the first time.

Has twice finished third here but still a maiden on turf and although happier back at this trip having tried 6f last time, others preferred for win purposes.

Proving a bit disappointing of late though undeniably well handicapped on best of his form such as a Haydock win a year ago off 12lb higher. The faster the ground the better.

Just the three runs, all at this trip, and showed a bit when 5L third at Bellewstown last time. Te runner up that day has since franked the form and opening mark for handicaps looks fair enough and now sports first time hood.

In cracking form at this time last year but not quite running up to that form this summer and midfield behind Early Call at Navan last time.

Three quick runs this month with the most recent of them on Wednesday and all three leave him with a bit to find. Hopes rest on a return to a track where he has finished second on both his previous visits.

Still a maiden after 14 goes and 6f experiment clearly didn't work last week. Place claims on best of his form but is proving expensive to follow.

She may be a veteran but the application of a visor seems to have transformed her this summer and comes here chasing a hat-trick following two under aggressive rides. Up another 5lb but clearly rejuvenated and commands plenty of respect.

Sole win was gained when coming over to Musselburgh in May. Not quite in the same form since and held by Sweetest Taboo on latest.

One win from 44 career starts is off-putting though her efforts of late have been encouraging though just needs to eke out some further improvement to double her tally.

Poor maiden who has yet to hit the frame on turf and makes little appeal from 6lb out of the weights.

Forecasts

Early Call (4/1), Pillar (6/1), Sweetest Taboo (15/2), Ty Rock Brandy (15/2), Teddy Boy (8/1), Gopsies Daughter (9/1), Guiding Star (10/1), She's My Dream (10/1), Bahlwan (14/1), Zippity (14/1), Hee Haw (14/1), Gala N Dandy (33/1)

18:05 Down Royal - 26 July 2019 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

In the form she has shown since the fitting of a visor, it may pay to stick with SWEETEST TABOO to complete the hat-trick in a tricky sprint. Early Call has won here in the past and comes here fresh from a recent win. Along with Zippity, they look the principal dangers.
  1. Sweetest Taboo
  2. Early Call
  3. Zippity
