11/4
Once-raced winner over hurdles. First run since leaving John Joseph Murphy when winning 13-runner juvenile hurdle at Ballinrobe (16.5f, good) on NH debut 18 days ago, suited by emphasis on speed. Well in the mix.

Forecasts

Cinammon Coco (6/5), Hopes Are High (11/4), Combs (7/2), Something Noble (4/1), Jr Mahon (11/2), Your Call (50/1), Masego (66/1), National Voice (66/1)

16:50 Down Royal - 29 August 2025 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

CINAMMON COCO shaped well when third in a Ballinrobe juvenile recently and looks the way to go here unless Gordon Elliott's hurdling newcomer Combs proves well above average. Hopes Are High and Something Noble can also have a say in this fairly useful contest.
