Down Royal Race 7 - Ampion Your Partner For Safety, Efficiency And Compliance Handicap
BEAR CREEK (5) caught the eye finishing strongly for third over 2300m at Limerick last time. Leading contender advancing in distance. TRUBSHAW (7) performed creditably placing second tackling 2900m at Bellewstown most recently. Capable of going one better. RANTING AND RAVEN (3) ran a solid third at Dundalk AW attempting 2400m on latest outing. One to consider. HIGHWAY SIXTY ONE (8) rates each-way.
