Our View on the Down Royal Card
Three races worth a view, scored on market position, official ratings, recent form and yard form. Our reasoning is shown so you can disagree with it.
Cite Florale is the strongest case on the card at 7/4. The yard is in form, and that tends to matter more than any single line of form.
Admiral Will Brown makes more sense each-way at 5/1.
Skerry Hill is the strongest case on the card at 1/11. Recent form reads well against these. In a 17-runner field, take the each-way terms seriously.
S T Hamo makes more sense each-way at 7/1. Recent form reads well against these. In a 17-runner field, take the each-way terms seriously.
Radiator Springs is the strongest case on the card at 10/3. The yard is in form, and that tends to matter more than any single line of form. In a 18-runner field, take the each-way terms seriously.
Ben Hur makes more sense each-way at 11/4. Recent form reads well against these. In a 18-runner field, take the each-way terms seriously.

The three shortest prices across 7 races on this card.
Chance shown is the market's own probability with the bookmakers' margin stripped out — what the prices imply, not our forecast.
-
1Skerry Hill 1/11 best, SBK
59% chance. The market makes it odds-on in a 17-runner field. 7 bookmakers within a tick of each other — a tight, settled market.
-
2Kenough 2/3 best, bet365
44% chance. Clear favourite of 8.
-
3Uncle Pad 2/3 best, SBK
39% chance. Shortest price on the card, though 16 runners leaves it odds-against. 7 of the 16 have never run, so the price reflects pedigree and stable talk rather than form.
A short price is the market's opinion, not a forecast of a winner. Favourites win roughly a third of British races. 18+ · GambleAware.org
