THE major prize at Down Royal today is the Grade 1 JNwine.com Champion Chase, but there’s no solid reason top be overly optimistic about finding the winner so let’s concentrate, for the moment, on the Grade 2 ladbrokes.com Chase.

This holds promise of a cracking duel between Forpadydeplasterer and Herecomesthetruth, with the former readily preferred.

The less rain that falls the better for Tom Cooper’s charge, who handles heavy ground, but is more effective on a decent surface.
