Down Royal Race 4 - Pepsico (Walkers Snacks) Mdn Hurdle
WACKESTONE (5) is yet to win in any of his ten starts on the track across both hurdles and the flat. His top trainer is in poor form with just one winner in recent weeks and now this gelding is fitted with first time blinkers. Questions to answer. SANTA DOMINGO (2) wears a tongue strap on stable and hurdle debut after finishing runner up at the Curragh back in September. Interesting runner for a yard who should be respected here. SEAMY APPLETART (3) has looked limited on both starts to date and is much more of a long term project. LISNADILL (7) wears a set of cheekpieces for the first time on hurdle debut.

At debut, raced on the pace prior to fading finished eighth of 13 starters at Roscommon on August 4 over 3118m, 17 len behind Lola O C carrying 71kg at $23. Open to good improvement. Best form stacks up nicely so worth another try.

Was at big odds at debut, finished ninth of 13 runners at Roscommon on August 4 over 3118m, 21 len behind Lola O C carrying 71kg at $29. Can improve on that effort. Further improved and shapes as a chance in this line-up.

Comes off a 30 day let-up. Last run finished 15th of 19 starters at Galway on July 29 over 3319m, 79 len behind Cock And Bull with 63.5kg at $41. Before that finished sixth of 16 starters at Bellewstown on July 4 over 3419m, 17 len behind Hopeful Hero with 70kg at $6.50. Gets a chance to win. Likely to figure on his return to jumping.

Second-up today. First-up after nine months ran last at Roscommon on August 4 over 3118m, 84 len behind Lola O C with 71kg at $81. Previously second-up finished seventh of 14 starters at Fairyhouse on November 4 over 3419m, 48 len behind Minella Yoga with 67.5kg at $19. Unlikely to play a major role today.
