15:35 Down Royal — Race Preview & Tips
We head to Down Royal for the 15:35 Hurdle, where the smart money is firmly on **Cozone** to deliver. This Matthew J. Smith-trained gelding, with James Smith in the plate, comes into this contest off the back of a dominant victory last time out, a performance that truly marked him down as one to follow.
That win was no fluke; it was the culmination of a rapidly improving form line, showcasing clear progression from 9th, to 8th, and then that impressive first. Crucially, Cozone stands head and shoulders above the rest on official ratings, boasting a clear top-mark of OR 100. This class edge, combined with his evident upward trajectory, makes the prohibitive odds entirely understandable.
He looks a banker on paper and should be tough to beat here, confirming his superiority over this opposition. For those seeking a bit more value in the frame, look no further than **Duce Bigalow**. This one has shown glimpses of ability that suggest he could sneak into an each-way spot at a much more appealing price.
