UK Horse Racing Tips: Down Royal

Joseph O'Brien has a couple of interesting newcomers in Ellipsism and Wayfarer and the market may provide the best guide to their chances, while the fact that Henry De Bromhead and Gigginstown are persisting with Generalisation suggests he could be better than he's shown so far. Batts Rock has shown plenty of promise so far over timber and has claims, but he was behind CALICOJACK when they met at Fairyhouse last time and Noel Meade's improving hurdler could be the one to side with.
Prediction : 1st Calicojack 2nd Batts Rock 3rd Ellipsism

OROMO won impressively at Perth last month following a decent effort in defeat at Musselburgh in March and connections have found their in-form gelding another good opening. He can strike again at the main expense of James Boru, who has won twice between the flags and wasn't disgraced when fifth at Perth 12 days ago. Hussle Up is a player on his Thurles effort two starts ago and Sillogue Pio is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Oromo 2nd James Boru 3rd Hussle Up

Plenty of these have claims but none more so than DAYBREAK BOY, whose latest effort in the Martin Pipe at Cheltenham can be forgiven. Prior to that he had easily beaten Count Simon by nine lengths at Clonmel and he could take plenty of beating today. The consistent Ravenhill is an obvious threat despite arriving here off a 249-day break, while Sizing Rome completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Daybreak Boy 2nd Ravenhill 3rd Sizing Rome

FARCLAS lost his way over hurdles last term but the 2018 Triumph winner possesses plenty of class. If the switch to fences can revive him, Gordon Elliott's charge will take plenty of beating. Fellow chase debutant Tigris River, the 2017 Galway Hurdle hero, is considered the main danger, as Pegase Amour is a maiden under Rules and Cliff House needs to improve on his previous form over the larger obstacles in order to figure.
Prediction : 1st Farclas 2nd Tigris River 3rd Cliff House

Gordon Elliott has a strong hand and providing his VEINARD produces a clear round of jumping, he could return to the winner's enclosure off a mark only 1lb higher than when successful at Ayr in February. Stablemate Dakota Moirette is waiting in the wings in first-time blinkers, with the pick of his recent form a second at the Dublin Racing Festival. Tisamystery was disappointing in that contest, but could easily bounce back having impressed when scoring before that.
Prediction : 1st Veinard 2nd Tisamystery 3rd Dakota Moirette

COMPLETE SIZING remains unbeaten after four starts between the flags and could prove hard to stop now in this sphere for Jim Dreaper and Jamie Codd. The seven-year-old has the right sort of profile to make an impact in this sphere and receives a tentative vote to strike. Chosen Dream was only eight lengths behind the classy Ucello Conti at Fairyhouse two weeks ago, while Winged Leader has form in the book behind the likes of Kruzhlinin and Burning Ambition.
Prediction : 1st Complete Sizing 2nd Chosen Dream 3rd Winged Leader

Noel Meade landed this contest last year and had a bumper winner at Punchestown last week, so it wouldn't be a huge surprise to see TRUMP LEGEND land the spoils on debut for the County Meath-based handler. He is related to plenty of nice types on the Flat and could have the pace for this. Gordon Elliott runs the Cheveley Park-owned Felino De Bersy, who takes the eye on pedigree, and Global Society, who has Jamie Codd on board. Both warrant the utmost respect.
Prediction : 1st Trump Legend 2nd Felino De Bersy 3rd Global Society
