Down Royal Race 7 - Bluegrass Resolve Cube Hunters Chase

CAUSE FOR COMMENT (3) may take some stopping among this company. Runner-up in a pair of novice hunter chases last spring (around 4700m) and returned to action with an easy victory between the flags last month. Strong credentials. BENWISKEN (2) won a point contest before finishing a tired third on rules debut at Thurles over 5000m. Retreats in distance which might suit. Worth giving another chance. DORA D'OR (7) is three wins and a second from four attempts in point to point races. Open to plenty of improvement now moving into a different sphere. SLEDGEHAMMER (6) got off the mark in points at the third try only ten days ago. Could go close. Something for the Multiples: FOCUS POINT (4)

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. First-up finished second of 7 runners at Turtulla P2p on January 11 over 4828m, on slow going 3.5 len behind Magic Tricks with 60kg. Second-up didn't finish the race at Tyrella P2p on January 24 over 4828m. Fought on last time. Likely to make amends for the last start mishap.

Resuming after nearly two years. Finished off last preparation winning by 3.5 len Ballingarry P2p May 25 2024 over 4828m defeating Midnight Maestro with 60kg. When resuming last campaign didn't finish the race at Aintree April 11 2024 over 4224m. Capable and looks a top-three chance.
