Verdict

UNA MATATA is well handicapped if building on a more encouraging run at Dundalk and is worth chancing. 2024-winner Alex Belardo can go well returning to Down Royal and looks a player, while Send Harry is another to consider having bounced back to form when second in front of the selection at Dundalk.
