Shanning can make trip to Down Royal worthwhile

Back for the winter season and it really begins to kick into gear from this point.

There are some great races on this afternoon’s card in Down Royal, where the Champion Chase is the feature, and a very good card tomorrow in Mallow, where the Cork Grand National is the highlight.

I have just one ride this afternoon at Down Royal, and that’s Shanning, in the two-mile handicap hurdle.
