Down Royal 19:24 - Price Boost

oddschecker Verdict

MASEGO was a winner over this distance at Leopardstown in May and went well again on his first start for trainer John McConnell when third over a furlong less at Bellewstown two weeks ago. The runner-up in that race went very close to winning at Limerick since. Numidia has finished well behind Masego twice already this season and enjoyed another winning turn over a longer distance at Bellewstown. He must come into the reckoning now. Top-weight Banna Three wasn't beaten all that far in a charity race at the Curragh late last month, his first start in over a year. Searcog went well on his seasonal reappearance at Leopardstown in April and he goes back up in distance for this.

Prediction: 1st Masego, 2nd Numidia, 3rd Searcog
