12/1
On a hat-trick after wins at Tipperary and Ballinrobe in July but a 17 lb rise means another big career best will be needed to keep the winning run going.

Eastern Legend (5/2), Rapparee Champ (5/1), Rodney Bay (11/2), Pachmena (6/1), Brogue (8/1), Out On Friday (10/1), No Hassle (12/1), Luminous Light (14/1), La Dame Blanche (16/1), Herculaneum (16/1), Harvest Bow (40/1), Rene Artois (125/1)

17:20 Down Royal - 25 September 2023 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

Joseph O'Brien's RAPPAREE CHAMP appeals as one who can go on to better things in handicaps and gets the nod in an interesting finale. Luminous Light has been in good form under both codes and is second choice ahead of last week's Listowel winner Eastern Legend.
