Down Royal Race 3

Pepsi Max Hurdle

Stake: $36,014

TIMELESS TREATY (3) delivered a 0.75L maiden hurdle success on debut and sole previous course visit. Fourth of fifteen at Fairyhouse last time and now steps up in distance. Strong chance off an unchanged mark. The consistent HE CAN'T DANCE (4) found the frame six times in a row before opening his account with a 13L success tackling the trip at Limerick. Main danger. HERJA (5) brings plenty of placed form and could be in the mix. KEVIN'S PRIDE (2) has not missed the frame in five maiden hurdle outings including a 0.75L Cork triumph. Adopts first-time cheekpieces holding sound prospects second-up.
