Forecasts

Pack Your Bags (7/4), Smoking Dixie (9/2), Kilderry Prince (5/1), Golanbrook (8/1), Ballybrowney Walk (10/1), Oisin James (12/1), Lettermacaward (12/1), Loch Luatha (14/1), Glacial Shadow (16/1), Bridies Boy (20/1), Enduring Love (20/1), Taboo (33/1)

Verdict

The J P McManus-owned PACK YOUR BAGS was a decisive winner of a Down Royal handicap chase over a similar trip last month winning by 8½L. The manner of the win from the Black Sam Bellamy gelding suggests the 10lb rise in the weights may not be enough to stop the nine-year-old in this contest. Smoking Dixie on debut for Gordon Elliott, Kilderry Prince and Ballybrowney Walk look capable of hitting the frame.
