Down Royal
Fri 28th Aug

Formscan By John O'Riordan - This looks a good opportunity for the Gordon Elliott-trained WACKESTONE(5) to register a first career win. Lightly raced on the Flat, the son of Australia was placed in two decent juvenile maiden hurdles over the winter. Although failing to build on that initial promise in subsequent starts, this looks an ordinary contest and on the balance of his form, he holds strong claims. Runner-up in a Curragh maiden when last seen in September, Santa Domingo catches the eye on his stable/hurdling debut for trainer John McConnell. Hidden Empire will need to improve but shaped with a degree of promise when mid division in a Roscommon bumper on his recent debut.
