Los Alamos (4/6), Tadhgs Girl (3/1), Gagas Horse (4/1), Laoch Liam (12/1), Betsy Boots (20/1), Corella Creek (20/1), Mr Dealer (25/1), Sinnerman (33/1), Mistercobar (33/1)

Verdict

A smashing little contest to round off the evening action at Down Royal with a number of these horses likely to have decent enough futures. Gagas Horse enjoyed the drop in trip when scoring at Limerick, but faces a difficult task giving weight to these rivals. The jockey bookings of Laoch Liam and Tadhgs Girl catch the eye, with the latter named filly posting an excellent debut effort at Clonmel a fortnight ago. However, the horse they all have to beat is the Joseph O'Brien trained Galileo gelding LOS ALAMOS who built upon a pleasing C&D debut (third) when hacking up by 11L at Punchestown on his next start.
  1. Los Alamos
  2. Tadhgs Girl
  3. Gagas Horse
