UK Horse Racing Tips: Down Royal

A MOMENT LIKE THIS is a beautifully-bred filly and made a pleasing debut at Leopardstown, where staying on well into fourth after a tardy start. She will almost certainly have learnt from that experience and can play a leading role here. Blanc De Noir improved for the addition of blinkers (worn again tonight) last time and he must enter calculations, while Amazing Show, Gan Teorainn and Betterdaysrcoming are others to keep an eye on.
Prediction : 1st A Moment Like This 2nd Blanc De Noir 3rd Amazing Show

Troy Top may try to take them along over this trip and could possibly hang on for a place, but preference is for C&D winner RED WASP, who represents the in-form Joseph O'Brien stable. She had no luck in running last time out when hampered, but may bounce back now off 2lb lower in the handicap. Navan third Fine Distraction is another for the shortlist, along with Bellewstown runner-up Kilonova, who seems to be progressing with experience.
Prediction : 1st Red Wasp 2nd Troy Top 3rd Fine Distraction

In this competitive contest the tentative vote goes to the Ger Lyons-trained filly HAZY MEHMORY, who gave a good account when second to an improving rival at Gowran Park last time out. The daughter of Mehmas can make the most of a handy allowance and gets the nod to shed the maiden tag at the fourth time of asking. Impero has been edging towards a first career win and rates the most immediate danger, while True Artist is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Hazy Mehmory 2nd Impero 3rd True Artist

JUYUSH has stepped forward on his last couple of starts, placing in competitive handicaps at Leopardstown and Naas, and the step up in trip appears likely to see the seven-year-old return to winning ways. Eighty Eight is better judged on his Gowran Park victory two starts ago having not had much luck in running at Roscommon. Zahee is another with the potential to benefit from going up in distance and he has to be considered along with Massaman.
Prediction : 1st Juyush 2nd Eighty Eight 3rd Zahee

Having won the previous two renewals of this contest, MASTER OF REALITY can taste more success back at this venue. The son of Frankel is the eldest in this field at the age of seven, but he can repel all challengers including Ever Present, who can go well despite an 11-month absence. Licence ought to make his presence felt eased in grade, while Perotan, who won on her racecourse debut at Bellewstown last July, is open to plenty of improvement and should not be dismissed.
Prediction : 1st Master Of Reality 2nd Ever Present 3rd Licence

ALL CLASS returned to winning ways over an extended 1m4f at Limerick earlier in the month and that form was boosted when the runner-up finished second again at Leopardstown last week. With that in mind, the seven-year-old could be hard to beat off just a 3lb higher mark. Storm Steps is an obvious threat having filled second place on his most recent outing, while Magi Gal and Five Zeros are others to note.
Prediction : 1st All Class 2nd Storm Steps 3rd Magi Gal

Handicap debutant Regally Blonde merits her place at the top of the ratings here after going close in a pair of maidens over 10 furlongs. She may be even better over this trip but ALICE DIAMOND ran well for third over shorter at Killarney last time and gets another chance off the same mark in this. Flash Of Dawn dropped in trip for his handicap debut and ran well, so could be capable off a 2lb higher mark providing he sees out this distance.
Prediction : 1st Alice Diamond 2nd Regally Blonde 3rd Flash Of Dawn
