Luke Short was engaged in the 1.40 at Down Royal yesterday. CROWNS MAJOR beat a huge field in a Punchestown bumper in April and won a premier handicap on the Flat at the Galway Festival so can make a successful hurdling debut. Figurehead is progressing with every run and was beaten less than a length at Limerick while Showbusiness was always up with the pace at Gowran and only just failed to hold off the winner with Joven nine lengths behind. Mosala has been in excellent form on the Flat, landing a premier handicap at Leopardstown in the summer, and looks the main threat.
