2:37 Down Royal Tips

Gordon's record at this meeting is very good. Form behind The New Lion is solid and had won a G1, G2, and G3 last year in the build-up to that. 8/11 is generous.

My vote to take this Bottlegreen Class 1 Listed Hurdle will be going to the highly progressive gelded son of Raven's Pass & Owega Dale ( Dam's sire Refuse To Bend ) Casheldale Lad who who last seen at Listowel 35 days ago where winning a class 1 listed handicap hurdle race and holds very strong follow up claims here yard also saddles odds on favourite at the time of writing who also represents the same owners The Yellow Clay who is a very respectable contender however Casheldale Lad is the percentage call in my point of view arriving here in a much fitter state than his stable mate and seeing he is not yet the finished article with plenty more progress due on the cards and he is the most likely threat to the odds on favourite that possesses all the necessary credentials to take a race of this nature at a more valuable price jockey J C Gainford takes the ride and can give Gordon Elliott's inmate a promising ride here at Down Royal worth noting this yard won this last year and holds very strong claims of doing again this year big shout
