Down Royal Race 7 - BOYLE Sports Daily Racing Rewards Handicap
MISTY COVE (4) made it third time lucky when shedding the maiden tag providing most recent appearance winning by 2L on handicap debut at Sligo after placing third at Kempton Park AW prior. May gain a double. HARMANI (9) managed to place three times from four career starts. Placed second losing out by 0.5L in latest attempting a handicap at Cork. Expected to challenge. PIERRE GROSSE (2) is starting to race consistently with three placings the last four outings including when second at Naas. Interesting now back among handicap company. SUTTON HOO (7) cannot be discounted following a head success contesting a Dundalk AW maiden.
