Ragmans Corner holds a clear edge over this competitive seventeen-runner field at Down Royal, sitting narrowly ahead of the chasing pack on our ratings and looking the most credible contender over this stamina-testing eighteen-furlong trip on good ground. Feud and Happy Jacky, both rated five pounds inferior, represent the chief dangers alongside Way Down South, who comes in a further seven pounds adrift and will need to find improvement to bridge that gap. The wide field adds an element of unpredictability, but Ragmans Corner's superior profile makes him a worthy call with high confidence. Ragmans Corner is our selection.
