With 10mm of rain forecast overnight there is a precautionary inspection at Down Royal at 7.30 on Thursday morning. If the track passes and racing is on then the main event will be the 3.00 when 9 begin the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Rated Novice Chase. Itsalonglongroad looked impressive when picking up his second win this season at Tramore 34 days ago coming home by 1 3/4 lengths. He has shown himself to be a useful chaser and is the one to beat here. Cavalry Master will look to bounce back after un seating his rider at the 6th when last seen at Limerick at the end of December,his last win was at Punchestown in November 2019 and if he can recreate that form and show how good he is over hurdles then he has a big chance. The other one to look at is Stansfield who is a fair chaser and showed that when he achieved his career best finish a creditable 3rd at Cork 33 days ago there is definitely more to come and he could spring a surprise here.
Big race prediction: 7: Itsalonglongroad.
