Down Royal Race 6 - C&C White Maiden Hunters Chase
CATALANI (1) comes off a 2nd at Tramore over 4370m, beaten 17L, and also placed 3rd at Fairyhouse earlier in the season, making him a key chance in this field. FOCUS POINT (4) was runner-up at Down Royal two starts back and has twice placed at this track, but needs to rebound from a distant 10th at Cork last start. COLVIN (3) has not placed in seven starts but did finish 4th at Down Royal last year. CHATEAU ELAN (2) has yet to place from five runs and resumes after a long break. Catalani (1) and Focus Point (4) look the main hopes based on recent placings.
