12:17 Down Royal - 10 November 2023 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

BETTER DAYS AHEAD didn't do himself justice in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham but this point winner remains a good hurdling prospect. The Busy Fool looked above average when making a winning debut in a Thurles bumper 3 weeks ago so must be respected, while point-winner Nas Na Riogh is worth a look in the betting.
