23/6/23 Down Royal & Limerick

 My poor recent form continued at Leopardstown on Thursday where the best came from Aird who was 5th, the 3/1 shot led early but sat 3rd at halfway. She was 4th a furlong out but made no impression inside the final furlong, upfront Sugaree won beating Alalcance by 3 lengths. In the 5.10 Akkadian Emperor was 7th in a race won by Sea Singer who beat Port Louis by a nose.

 A Friday double header sees seven races at both Down Royal and Limerick with two features.

Down Royal 7.10: His Majesty's Plate.

1: Taipan: A useful horse who has had a good year so far winning his last two including at Listowel 19 days ago. He led from halfway there asserting himself a furlong out and easily coming home by 5 1/2 lengths. His yard is having a good recent spell and he can complete the hat-trick here. 

Limerick 7.20: Tally Ho Stud Irish EBF Martin Molony Stakes.

1: Layfayette: Was a decent 4th behind Luxembourg in the Group 1 Tattersalls Gold Cup at The Curragh when last seen 26 days ago despite not being ideally placed. He has the best form on show here and should capitalise on this drop down in grade to pick up an 8th career win.
