15:10 Down Royal - 17 March 2023 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

A competitive race. L ANAMOUR appeals as one who should have more to offer now moving into handicaps and gets the vote for the Stuart Crawford team. Last-time-out scorers Ottoman Style and Luimneach can give him most to think about.
