Down Royal

Today, January 21, 2025Chase3mGood Soft

READ TO RETURN has yet to add to his maiden chase success at Killarney back in October 2023 but he is appealing on the back of a solid recent effort over hurdles at Fairyhouse. The 8-y-o is preferred to Whateys Quest, who did the job well at Limerick and an 11 lb rise may not be enough to debar another bold show from him. Silver King is an each-way player with this step up in trip unikely to be a bad thing.

    Verdict
    Career best when winning 12-runner handicap chase (11/4) at Limerick (22.6f, soft) 23 days ago, pushed out. This is more demanding up 11 lb but he's of strong interest all the same.

    Verdict
    11/4, creditable second of 7 in handicap chase at Naas (16f, heavy) 16 days ago. Shade more will be needed if he's to open his account in this sphere but this new trip is well worth exploring and he's on a workable mark.

    Verdict
    4/1, respectable sixth of 10 in handicap chase at Navan (16f, good to soft) 37 days ago. Stable in good form but this 8-y-o may now be in the grip of the handicapper.

    Verdict
    Twelfth of 17 in handicap chase (17/2) at Leopardstown (24.4f, good to soft) 23 days ago. In good form prior to that and definite each-way chance if able to ounce back and keep jumping errors to a minimum. Yard also saddles Sea Aster.

    Verdict
    Latest win in chase at Clonmel in June. 3/1, pulled up in handicap chase at Perth (23.8f, good to soft) 134 days ago, struggling some way out. Possesses the required ability to play a leading role but improvement is needed in the jumping department.
