7	7 (7) (150/1 +0%) Fix It For Me	150 150/1(+0%)	(7) Fix It For Me 150/1, Down the field in bumper/maiden hurdle. Well beaten in a bumper and maiden hurdle so has loads to find.
10	10 (10) (150/1 +0%) Mountrivers Lass	150 150/1(+0%)	(10) Mountrivers Lass 150/1, Modest in bumpers and just poor form over hurdles. Some ability in bumpers and maiden hurdles but will be of more interest in handicaps.

4	3 4th (3) (7/2 -56%) Long Gone	3.5 7/2(-56%)	(3) Long Gone 7/2, Promising sort. 10/3 and hooded for 1st time, won 11-runner bumper at Limerick (16.4f, soft) on bumper debut 16 days ago, easily.

First run for yard after leaving Nina Walsh. Some promise in a Leopardstown bumper on heavy ground and of some interest for new yard.
6th	6 6th (6) (9/1 +25%) Bobbi Gin Tree	9 9/1(+25%)	(6) Bobbi Gin Tree 9/1, Left hurdling debut form behind when fifth of 16 in maiden (25/1) at Thurles (16.5f, good to soft), running on. Off 6 months. Should have more to offer. Best of two hurdle starts when beaten 9l at Thurles in November; can run well after break.

FEMME MAGNIFIQUE is one of four bumper winners in the line-up having scored at Thurles last December and has been quite highly tried since, including at Punchestown last month, where she had Sharp Object over three lengths behind. Disco Dancer won at Down Royal on St Patrick's Day and has shown promise since over hurdles, including when runner-up at Limerick last month. Long Gone confirmed the promise of her debut in a Wexford maiden hurdle when taking a Limerick bumper in impressive fashion, while Slim Marvel certainly won't lack for experience over hurdles. Tell Me This was let down by her jumping in point-to-points, but was a creditable third in a Leopardstown bumper last time.

LONG GONE shaped encouragingly when third on her hurdling debut at Wexford in April and, with improvement on the cards, gets the nod to follow up her recent bumper success. Femme Magnifique and Disco Dancer rate the principal threats.

Not beaten far in a Punchestown Grade 3 bumper last time, FEMME MAGNIFIQUE can continue that improvement into a hurdling career.

13:05 Downpatrick Maiden Hurdle 19f PREDICTION SIMULATION

13:40 Downpatrick Handicap Hurdle 18f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	2 1st (2) (4/1 +50%) Petrol Head	4 4/1(+50%)	(2) Petrol Head 4/1, In fine form when last seen, ready winner at Roscommon (15.4f) prior to a good second KIlbeggan (19f) in July 2022. Starts out for new yard now after a lengthy absence and the market may well prove the best guide. Dual hurdle winner is returning from a near two-year absence and is probably best watched.
2	9 2nd (9) (16/1 -14%) Only One Plan	16 16/1(-14%)	(9) Only One Plan 16/1, Winner at Roscommon (16.2f) 12 months ago and largely held form well thereafter. 22/1, offered little after 8 months off when tenth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (16.2f, soft) 30 days ago but feasible to expect a better showing with that under his belt. Consistent last year but was well beaten on return and might need to drop in the weights.
3	10 3rd (10) (6/1 -71%) Mater Matuta	6 6/1(-71%)	(10) Mater Matuta 6/1, Career best when winning 9-runner handicap chase at Tramore (15.5f, good to soft, 14/1) 15 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Looks competitive on form. Won over fences last time and rated 104 in that sphere; player if transferring that form.
4	8 4th (8) (6/1 +0%) Brownstone	6 6/1(+0%)	(8) Brownstone 6/1, Latest win in hurdle at Tramore in April. Creditable fifth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Sligo (20.7f, good to soft, 5/1) 4 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Won easily at Tramore and solid efforts in defeat twice since; go well but vulnerable.
5th	7 5th (7) (9/1 +36%) Boskill Borden	9 9/1(+36%)	(7) Boskill Borden 9/1, 20/1, respectable ninth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (19f, soft) 30 days ago, possibly needing the run after 8 months. Remains less exposed than most if he can build on that here. Won at Tramore last summer but well beaten twice since and has to do more.
6th	6 6th (6) (40/1 -186%) Just Jacob	40 40/1(-186%)	(6) Just Jacob 40/1, Fair winner at 10f on flat. 125/1, seventh of 9 in novice chase at Punchestown (16f, soft). Off 18 months. Switches from chase to hurdles but yard look to hold stronger claims with Tell Us This. Poor over fences when last seen and is returning from a long absence; best watched.
7th	3 7th (3) (9/1 +36%) Bigz Belief	9 9/1(+36%)	(3) Bigz Belief 9/1, 17/2, bit below form fifth of 15 in handicap hurdle at this course (18.8f, good to soft) 22 days ago, unable to sustain effort having not been ideally placed. Eased further in the weights ahead of this. Decent effort in a Clonmel claimer but below that level in a handicap here since.
8th	4 8th (4) (33/1 -32%) Swelltime	33 33/1(-32%)	(4) Swelltime 33/1, 20/1, last of 10 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (19f, soft) 16 days ago, ridden after 3 out and soon done with. Something to find on form. Dropping down the weights but was poor last time and not easy to fancy.
9th	1 9th (1) (16/1 -167%) Gladiatorial	16 16/1(-167%)	(1) Gladiatorial 16/1, Twenty runs since last win in 2021. 9/1, below form sixth of 12 in handicap chase at this course (23.7f, good) 36 days ago, every chance still 2 out before weakening. Better showing anticipated back down in trip/returned to timber. Two hurdle wins, incl' here; well beaten over fences lately but respected back hurdling.
10th	5 10th (5) (5/2 -33%) Tell Us This	2.5 5/2(-33%)	(5) Tell Us This 5/2, 2/1, creditable second of 16 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (16.3f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Remains low-mileage from a handicapping perspective and he looks the one to beat. Disqualified after winning at Down Royal and second at Ballinrobe since; needs more up 3lb.

TELL US THIS has progressed well since encountering good ground and got off the mark in a 20-runner handicap at Down Royal last month. The Gavin Cromwell-trained gelding subsequently beat all bar Herculaneum in another big-field event at Ballinrobe and may have been found a good opportunity to regain the winning thread, providing the forecast rain doesn't change ground conditions too much. Mater Matuta gained a fourth career win over fences at Tramore, and the dual-purpose mare is another suited by a decent surface. Brownstone also won at Tramore this spring and was far from disgraced in both outings since.

TELL US THIS brings the most compelling claims to the table on the back of a solid second at Ballinrobe 18 days ago and he looks the way to go stepping back up marginally in trip. Gladiatorial and Only One Plan are others to consider.

Having shown improved form over fences lately, MATER MATUTA should win this if transferring even some of that improvement back hurdling

16	16 (16) (18/1 -29%) Meadow Soprano	18 18/1(-29%)	(16) Meadow Soprano 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable sixth of 11 in novice hurdle (200/1) at Listowel (20.4f, good) 14 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. RESERVE. Tailed off in a maiden hurdle at Listowel last time; best watched for now; reserve.
2	2 (2) (20/1 -25%) Falvio	20 20/1(-25%)	(2) Falvio 20/1, Below form sixth of 11 in novice chase at this course (19.4f, good to soft, 28/1) 22 days ago, inadequate test. Switches from chase to hurdles. Low-key form over fences of late and struggling when last seen over timber.

That was a fine run and he has strong claims if continuing the good work. Career best nose defeat latest; up 3lb and stamina to prove but not ruled out.
2	13 2nd (13) (10/1 -43%) Pettigo	10 10/1(-43%)	(13) Pettigo 10/1, Off 19 months and 66/1, sixth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (21.4f, good) 39 days ago. Showed little in 2022, missed 2023 but ran okay when 6th last month.
3	6 3rd (6) (16/1 +20%) Dear Ryta	16 16/1(+20%)	(6) Dear Ryta 16/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, below form eleventh of 18 in handicap hurdle (18/1) at Listowel (23.4f, good) 14 days ago. Dual point winner; poor form under rules and tailed off on handicap debut a fortnight ago.

6th	11 6th (11) (28/1 +15%) Georgia Celena	28 28/1(+15%)	(11) Georgia Celena 28/1, Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (22f, soft, 100/1) 62 days ago, pulled up before 3 out. Shown very little in five runs so far and was pulled up on handicap debut latest.

8th	1 8th (1) (40/1 -186%) Mister Vic	40 40/1(-186%)	(1) Mister Vic 40/1, Thirteenth of 17 in novice hurdle at Clonmel (19f, soft, 100/1) 30 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Showed ability in a bumper here last year but tailed off on 4 runs for new yard; h'cap bow.
9th	4 9th (4) (4/1 +67%) Moneynabane	4 4/1(+67%)	(4) Moneynabane 4/1, C&D winner. 25/1, fourteenth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (17.2f, heavy) 144 days ago. Back up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Neill McCluskey. C&D winner in October but lost his way since and may need this on yard debut.
3	3 \|F\| (3) (9/2 +10%) Walk In Time	4.5 9/2(+10%)	(3) Walk In Time 9/2, Bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap hurdle (13/2) at Limerick (22f, soft) on return 16 days ago. Should be better for that and one to note. 3m winner last summer; low-key reappearance but came on from last year's return to win.

WALK IN TIME showed stamina is her forte when successful over three miles at Tipperary last summer on just her second handicap start. The Harry Kelly-trained mare couldn't find any extra in the straight on her reappearance at Limerick last month, but should benefit from that outing and has scope for further improvement. Cullenwaine filled the runner-up spot here last autumn and rates a threat having just lost out to Seasett at Limerick last month. Pettigo caught the eye when making late headway after a long lay-off at Ballinrobe, while Calahill reverts to Rules after winning a point-to-point last month.

Low-grade stuff and the betting could be revealing. CULLENWAINE not only produced a career best but did especially well under the circumstances when just failing at Limerick a fortnight ago and looks the way to go. Tick Along, who won over C&D on her return last season and Walk In Time are a couple of others to consider.

It may be worth taking a flyer with STRADBALLY VILLAGE who showed a bit more last time and may build on that run

Ian Donoghue is a trainer on the rise this year and O'FAOLAINS GLORY has played her part, winning both over hurdles and fences. The chase win came at this venue and the front-running mare remains on a lowly mark, with Joey Dunne good value for his 7lb claim. Aliunde enters calculations having been beaten less than a length over C&D last time, while Derby De Thaix, Cramers Valley and Kalsman are others to consider. Beau's Candle won two point-to-points last November and was second when reverting to hurdles at Punchestown earlier this year, but needs to bounce back after dropping away tamely at Ballinrobe.

O'FAOLAINS GLORY has been in good form over hurdles and fences lately and might be good for another win here. Aliunde was a good third on his C&D reappearance 3 weeks ago and is second choice ahead of Kalsman, who is feasibly treated if able to translate this spring's maiden form back to a handicap.

SPRINGBOARD showed more on h'cap debut last time and he may be able to build on that stepping up in trip.

Fitted with cheekpieces for the first time, it might be worth taking a chance on BENNY SILVER. Placed on numerous occasions when trained in the UK by Nigel Twiston-Davies, the six-year-old starts off for Ian Donoghue and could prove to be well treated off a mark of 88. Donoghue also saddles Attitash, who is not without his chance either. Recent Tramore runner-up Itsalonglongroad has never won over a trip as far as this, but still warrants respect as a dual course winner. Successful in first-time cheekpieces here last month, Quite Incredible is sure to have plenty of supporters in his bid to follow up, while others for the shortlist in this competitive heat are Ballinrobe winner Game And Glory and Declan Queally's Mick Charlie.

GAME AND GLORY is potentially on a good mark back over fences having scored off 1 lb higher over hurdles at Ballinrobe last time. Quite Incredible and Benny Silver head the dangers.

Recent hurdle winner, GAME AND GLORY, gets the vote with a lower chase mark to work with and she's unexposed in this sphere

A dual point-to-point winner, INTERSKY SUNSET might be able to take this weak affair. Successful over flights at Gowran in November, the Declan Queally-trained seven-year-old has been a bit disappointing since. She hinted at a return to form when a close third at Tramore on her most recent start and it'll come as no surprise if she manages to go a few places better now. Natural Breeze was a solid fifth on his debut over fences at Tramore recently and looks a leading contender, while On My Bike, who won on his penultimate start at Punchestown, is likely to have plenty of supporters with Conor Stone-Walsh aboard. Cocoplum and Stockdale represent local connections and both warrant respect, while Townhill Penny and Tullyveery Lad complete the line-up, with the former tried in blinkers for the first time.

A spin over hurdles will have blown away the cobwebs for TULLYVEERY LAD and she can put her chasing experience to the best possible use here. Stockdale didn't get very far on her chase bow and this will reveal more, with Cocuplum also of interest.

Having won over hurdles and ran respectably on chasing debut at Tramore on last two starts, NATURAL BREEZE can take this.

Good ¾-length second of 16 to Greenway Machine in handicap chase (20/1) at Tramore (21.8f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Should go well again if on his A-game. Went close last time but his chase record of 0-22 isn't encouraging and he's 2lb wrong.

GREENWAY MACHINE might be able to follow up his recent Tramore success in this competitive affair. The imposing 12-year-old beat Ennemi Public, Ocodango Boy and Tuff Days at the Co Waterford venue and they all reoppose now. A winner over C&D in October, the Helen Markham-trained selection will be ridden by Conor Smithers, who claims a valuable 7lb. Beaten three-parts of a length and 10 lengths respectively in that Tramore contest, Ennemi Public and Ocodango Boy are sure to have plenty of supporters, while the locally-trained Welsh Saint, who was second here on his penultimate start, is another leading hope. A dual course winner, Nuttorridge warrants respect, while others for the shortlist are Declan Queally's Centurion Steel and Wee Jerry, who starts off for the shrewd Ian Donoghue.

A tightly-knit handicap in which C&D winner OCEAN LEGACY is taken to bounce back from his late fall here last time when still going well. Veteran C&D scorer Greenway Machine could emerge as the main danger, although Ocodango Boy and Cousin Zeleznik can also have a say.

CENTURION STEEL took a major step back in the right direction last time and he's well treated if he can build on that

Both Willie Mullins and Gordon Elliott are represented here, but it might be worth taking them on with the Andy Slattery-trained EOIN'S CHARM. A son of Califet, his two efforts to date have come over hurdles at Ballinrobe, finishing a close fourth on debut after not getting a clear run in the closing stages. The five-year-old since fell at the last when disputing the lead at the Co Mayo venue and takes his chance in a bumper now. Starcrossed Lover is another switching from hurdles to a bumper. A fine second on debut at Punchestown, it'll come as no surprise if he manages to go a place better, with his trainer Colm Murphy responsible for two bumper winners in recent weeks. Lady Gooner is the Mullins representative and could be a different proposition encountering good ground for the first time. The Elliott-trained Beaufort Scale and John McConnell's Jackson Lamb are other leading hopes.

STARCROSSED produced an excellent effort when second under a positive ride in a novice at Punchestown on hurdling debut and, if he can translate that level of form to this sphere, he should be able to get the better of Lady Gooner, who improved last time. Eoin's Charm is also of interest based on his efforts over timber.

Having run a fine race to be second to a useful rival in a Punchestown maiden hurdle on debut, STARCROSSED LOVER(nap) should take this.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
