Down Royal Race 1 - Irish Stallion Farms Ebf Mdn Hurdle
WITH NOLIMIT (6) Resuming after spell of 26 weeks. Was all too good winning by 1 3/4L last run at Punchestown and good career start. Won't be far away during the run. Good chance in this event. THE STAGS (3) First time at the races 5yo by Westerner for trainer Gordon Elliott. Watch the betting. WATER MILL (5) 5yo by Poet's Word racing as a debutant for Gordon Elliott. Watch betting. MASTER LOCKSLEY (2) Ran 4th last time in a hurdle at Gowran Park but having second race start. Likely to settle back in the field. Chance for exotics punters.

Started $26.00 and finished 4th last time in a hurdle at Gowran Park but having second career run. Does take a while to get into stride. Looking to place betting and exotics.

Started $151.00 and not up to scratch when 9th last start in a hurdle at Fairyhouse but going over more ground. The large claim from Erin Dunseath helps. Slim possibilty.

First up from a 26 week spell. Finished on top by 1 3/4L last run at Punchestown and solid career start. Should muster plenty of early toe. Rising in distance. Will go close today.

Resuming after a break. At $26.00 average performance when 11th last start at the track but having second race start. Harry Sexton provides some weight relief. Needs significant improvement.

First run back after a break. Started at $51.00 and ran 6th last time in a hurdle at Bellewstown. The large claim from Finn Tegetmeier should help. Few more classier types in this race.

Started at $151.00 and ordinary performance when 7th last run in a hurdle at Fairyhouse. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Still a maiden after 9 starts. Too much luck needed to come into contention.

First up after a break. Didn't finish in a hurdle at Downpatrick but fitter for debut run. This looks a tough assignment.
