Down Royal Race 4 - Club Orange Beginners Chase
Gordon Elliott has three likely contenders with four-time hurdling winner STAFFORDSHIRE KNOT (7) leading the trio. Successful attempting a Navan G2 and placed in multiple black type races. Lightly-raced over fences and looks a major player if taking to the larger obstacles. IMPERO (4) boasts a fine record of five wins from ten starts since moving to the Cian Collins stable. Makes chasing debut returning from a nine-month hiatus. Key threat. CINAMMON ROLL (2) is two from five with hurdles and rates an obvious danger now sent chasing. Interesting first-up. SCALPNAGOON (6) looks open to plenty of improvement and might feature.

Useful type. Resumes off a 53 day letup. Last start pulled up at Cheltenham on March 12 over 4828m. Run before won by 2.5 len Navan in a G2 Boyne Hurdle on February 8 over 4425m in the wet defeating Better Days Ahead carrying 71kg at $2.10 in a jumps. Not such a happy tale when he failed to complete in a hurdle (4828m) at Cheltenham.
