Down Royal Race 2 - Irish Stallion Farms Ebf Mdn
FORZA MAGICO (4) Threw down a serious challenge last start at Navan. Likely to get back. Strong hope. OTSANA (9) Came in 5th last time at Curragh. Should improve and was on debut last time. Has the speed to overcome the wide draw. Dropping back to a shorter trip. Must be considered. OSTERODE (8) Finished 5th last time at Dundalk. Capable of bouncing back. Can win. IN THE GLOAMING (2) Unsatisfactory performance when 18th last start at Galway but drops back to a suitable grade. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Will be dropping in distance. Has to be included.

Fresh from a break. Started at 500/1 and unimpressive effort when 8th last time at Sligo but has a good draw. Coming back in trip. Needs to improve.

Lacklustre showing when 18th last start at Galway but up against a less challenging field. Likely to be well placed early. Back to a shorter trip. Watch for a sign in the market.

Was 300/1 and clearly outclassed when 15th last time at Roscommon but will appreciate a good draw. Does take a while to get into stride. Best to watch and see.

Narrowly beaten last start at Navan. Prefers to settle towards the tail. Major player who should go very close.

Odds of 150/1 and finished 10th last start at Naas but having second race start. Down in distance. Very unlikely.

At 14/1 came in 5th last time at Curragh. Should improve and was a debutant last start. Has the necessary speed to overcome the wide draw. Will attract plenty of interest.

Odds of 300/1 and disappointing run when 11th last time at Galway and dropping in distance. Can't suggest backing.

Back from a break of 26 weeks. At 200/1 close up last start at Dundalk and back to a shorter distance. Gets back and needs luck. Pass at this stage.
