Tell bidding for another win at Down Royal
Tellthemnuttin in full flow

Tellthemnuttin will attempt to claim back-to-back victories over hurdles when she reports for duty at Down Royal.
The six-year-old mare, trained by Willie Codd and owned by the Heads Or Harps Syndicate, was a fine winner over three miles at Wexford on May 6 when she bounded four lengths clear of High Nellie.
Tellthemnuttin has been raised 6lb, but Codd is expecting another big show in the 20,000 euro Workpal Handicap Hurdle over an extended three miles.
The County Wexford handler said: "She's been a great servant for us and the syndicate that leads her can't believe their luck.
"It's hard enough winning one race with a horse, but Tellthemnuttin has won five in the last year.
"We picked this race out after she won at Wexford and it looks a lovely opportunity for her.
"She'll be fine on the ground and over that trip, so you'd be hopeful she'll be bang there.
"Dylan (Robinson) gets on really well with her and is full value for his 5lb claim.
"We'll hopefully try to look for some black type somewhere along the line, but she's in grand form and this will be a great pot to win."
On current form Tellthemnuttin looks the one to beat in the seven-runner affair, with Whizzzey Rascal set to carry top weight for the Gordon Elliott team.
James Nash is double-handed with the long-absent Cardinal Palace and Waterville Rock while Sheamus Presenting Mahler and Face Value have plenty to find.
