Thursday's winner at Clonmel was Expound. The 15/8 favourite led early asserting himself from 1 1/2 furlongs out, despite drifting slightly to the left in the closing stages he held on to beat Moonlit Mist by 1/2 a length. In the other race Jabbar was 2nd, the 7/2 shot was 4th at halfway sitting 3rd 1 1/2 furlongs out, he kept on close to home taking 2nd on the line, En Or won by 2 1/2 lengths.
There are 8 races at Down Royal and 7 at Kilbeggan on Friday with 2 main events.
Down Royal 3.15: Irish EBF Median Sires Series Maiden.
3: Lightning Bear: A good-looking horse who was a promising 3rd on debut at Cork 3 weeks ago. He made progress from 2 out and had every chance in 4th entering the final furlong, he kept on at the same pace taking 3rd in the closing stages. He wears cheekpieces for the first time here and with more to come can open his account.
Kilbeggan 4.35: Pat Doyle Memorial Handicap Hurdle.
10: Presenting Lad: A horse with a decent record who has picked up 2 wins from 6 runs this season his last was at Tramore 22 days ago. He led from 3 out but was passed soon after sitting 2nd at the last, he rallied leading again close to home and winning by a neck. He switches back to hurdles here and should complete a hat-trick.
