Almost everything that could have gone wrong did so for VALSORPRESA when well supported at Down Royal. A slipped saddle and interference when challenging didn't help and he did well to finish less than six lengths off the winner. Edge Of My Seat has some decent form but appears to be going backwards while Johnny M was beaten 28 lengths into third at Wexford. Dual Flat winner Blackcastle Storm is worth a market check while Il Silenzio and Mo Chruinne should also be noted for support in a poor opener.
