Down Royal Race 7 - Wtw Willis Flat Race
PASSENGER (2) Did well when 3rd last start at Cork but facing a stronger group of contenders. Jockey Fred Maguire and trainer Dermot K Weld & Irland Weld are consistently competitive together. Should be in the finish. PREMIER DIVISION (6) Back from a 26 week break. Finished 2nd last run at Punchestown and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Shows good early pace. Will benefit with the weight drop. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value . IFUKNOWUKNOW (1) Was first to greet the judge when winning by 3/4L last start at Downpatrick. Likely to get back in the run. Deserves consideration. HILLY FILLY (8) Ran 7th last run at Punchestown but good career start. In top racing shape since coming back from a spell. Good prospects.

Ran 3rd last start at Cork but facing stiffer opposition. Jockey Fred Maguire and trainer Dermot K Weld & Irland Weld are an appealing combination. Has the ratings to win this.

Looked good when 2nd last run at Cork but facing a stronger grade. Should muster plenty of early speed. Showing great form this preparation. Large claim helps. Could feature here.

Back from a 26 week spell. Honest race when 2nd last run at Punchestown and showing consistent performance in races. Displays good tactical speed. Gets some weight relief. Has a good chance.

Resuming after a break. Jumped at $6.00 and performed below standard when 8th last time at Ballinrobe but was on debut last time. Carrying less weight this time. Not threatening these.

Nathaniel 4yo having first race appearance for trainer Derek Oconnor. The large claim from B M Coonan should help. Keep your eye on the market.
