14:40 Downpatrick Maiden Hurdle 18f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	10 1st (10) (5.5/1 +45%) Me Wee Bonnie Lass	5.5 5.5/1(+45%)	(10) Me Wee Bonnie Lass 5.5/1, Doyen filly. Closely related to fairly useful hunter chaser Ask d'Man and half-sister to a winner on Flat in Italy. Dam unraced. Worth a precautionary market check in the betting for clues on debut. Newcomer from respected source, market strength likely significant.
2	1 2nd (1) (3/1 +33%) Bayonetta	3 3/1(+33%)	(1) Bayonetta 3/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, fourth of 7 in minor event hurdle at Down Royal (16.8f, good, 8/1) 41 days ago. Jumped badly left at Down Royal latest; cheekpieces now left off.
3	3 3rd (3) (1.88/1 +46%) Gaye Winnie	1.88 1.88/1(+46%)	(3) Gaye Winnie 1.88/1, Twice-raced maiden. 16/1, ran to a similar level as on debut when sixth of 20 in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (18.5f, heavy) in January. In good hands and progress not ruled out returning from 6 months off. Not disgraced in better maidens last winter; off 6 months but Elliott pick so respected.
4	4 4th (4) (6.5/1 -160%) Mote Park	6.5 6.5/1(-160%)	(4) Mote Park 6.5/1, Twice-raced maiden. 10/1, went backwards from debut when tenth of 11 in bumper at Tramore (16.2f, soft) in December. Feasible to think she can get back on track now hurdling returning from 7 months off. Tongue strap on 1st time. Bumper runs disappointing; tongue-tied for hurdles debut and can't be ruled out.
5th	6 5th (6) (7/1 +13%) Spice Diva	7 7/1(+13%)	(6) Spice Diva 7/1, Arcadio mare. Dam, unraced, closely related to top-class staying chaser (Grand National winner) Many Clouds. Off mark in points at fifth attempt (Apr 29) and well worth a check in the betting for clues ahead of Rules/hurdles bow. Won Moira mares' maiden point-to-point in April (yielding), fifth attempt.
6th	9 6th (9) (28/1 +72%) All Ways And Ever	28 28/1(+72%)	(9) All Ways And Ever 28/1, Little form in various company on Flat. 25/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 10 in claimer at Limerick (11.5f, good to firm) 29 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Poor Flat maiden, can only be watched on hurdling debut.
7th	7 7th (7) (250/1 -67%) Struell Duchess	250 250/1(-67%)	(7) Struell Duchess 250/1, Once-raced maiden. 100/1, pulled up in minor event hurdle at Down Royal (16.8f, good) on NH debut 41 days ago, pulled up when awkward 3 out. Pulled up after some moderate jumping on belated rules debut at Down Royal last month.
8th	2 8th (2) (22/1 -300%) Dina Leen	22 22/1(-300%)	(2) Dina Leen 22/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. Sixth of 9 in novice hurdle at Thurles (23.3f, good to soft, 7/1) on hurdles bow. Off 8 months. Down in trip. First run for yard after leaving W. P. Mullins. Underwhelming efforts on both starts for Willie Mullins last year; likely best watched.
9th	8 9th (8) (22/1 +67%) Sunshine Theatre	22 22/1(+67%)	(8) Sunshine Theatre 22/1, Pulled up sole start in points. Once-raced maiden under Rules. 33/1, ninth of 18 in novice hurdle at Listowel (16f, good) on NH debut 38 days ago, losing place from 3 out. Ran okay on last month's hurdles debut; loads more required here though.
5	5 \|RO\| (5) (14/1 -75%) Sea Aster	14 14/1(-75%)	(5) Sea Aster 14/1, Yeats mare. 12/1, seventh of 17 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (16.2f, good) on NH debut 33 days ago. May well do better. All the better for last month's debut run; market likely significant.

LTO Selection:

An each-way chance is taken on newcomer ME WEE BONNIE LASS. Gavin Cromwell's stable is firing in plenty of winners and this four-year-old filly is a half-sister to a very smart hunter chaser. Any market moves for her would be significant as the form of her rivals isn't insurmountable. Gordon Elliott runs two, with Jack Kennedy partnering Gaye Winnie. This Walk In The Park mare has finished sixth in a pair of big-field maidens at Punchestown and Fairyhouse. She is returning off a break at a track Elliott does ever so well at. Mote Park didn't cut much ice in two bumpers, but Willie Mullins sends her over hurdles on her return to action and she is likely to do much better. Spice Diva won a point-to-point in April and is another to consider on track debut.

Those with previous hurdles experience don't set a tall standard and it may pay to take a chance on MOTE PARK. She offered something on the first of her 2 starts in bumpers during the second half of last year and it would come as no surprise to see her make an impact now her attentions switch to hurdling. Gaye Winnie and Sea Aster head the dangers, with Spice Diva also worth a second look.

A chance is taken on Gordon Elliott's GAYE WINNIE, who showed some promise in stronger maidens last winter

14:40 Downpatrick Maiden Hurdle 18f PREDICTION SIMULATION

15:15 Downpatrick Maiden Hurdle 18f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	12 1st (12) (0.53/1 +65%) The Folkes Tiara	0.53 0.53/1(+65%)	(12) The Folkes Tiara 0.53/1, Fairly useful chaser who matched best form in this sphere when creditable second of 13 in novice hurdle (11/8) at Tramore (16.8f, good) 40 days ago. Looks the one to beat. Frustrating maiden but could have found a good opportunity here.
2	5 2nd (5) (5.5/1 -57%) Gino Drummer Boy	5.5 5.5/1(-57%)	(5) Gino Drummer Boy 5.5/1, Fair hurdler. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, bit below form fourth of 14 in novice hurdle at Kilbeggan (16f, good, 11/4) 24 days ago. Not out of things. Bit to find with Colonel Bellew on Kilbeggan run, earlier form makes him a definite player.
3	3 3rd (3) (22/1 -83%) Colonel Bellew	22 22/1(-83%)	(3) Colonel Bellew 22/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Tongue strap on for 1st time, excellent third of 14 in novice hurdle at Kilbeggan (16f, good, 12/1) 24 days ago. Claims if building on that. Kilbeggan run encouraging but will need to jump better to be a feature here.
4	1 4th (1) (14/1 -75%) Art Of Silence	14 14/1(-75%)	(1) Art Of Silence 14/1, Lightly-raced winner under NH rules. Ninth of 14 in handicap (10/1) at Leopardstown (15f, good) 28 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. 3/15 on last hurdle outing. Each-way claims. Bumper winner looks to have it to do here conceding weight.
5th	15 5th (15) (18/1 +45%) J'adore Chas	18 18/1(+45%)	(15) J'adore Chas 18/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 12 in novice hurdle at this course (21.3f, good, 18/1) 25 days ago. Others more persuasive. Took a backward step here last month over 2m6f; down in trip here with a bit to prove.
6th	9 6th (9) (100/1 +50%) Moneynabane	100 100/1(+50%)	(9) Moneynabane 100/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. Seventh of 9 in bumper (80/1) at this course (18.8f, good to soft) on bumper debut 26 days ago. Switches from bumpers to hurdles. Poor form in point-to-points and nothing yet to offer encouragement under rules.
7th	7 7th (7) (14/1 +44%) Liberty Flame	14 14/1(+44%)	(7) Liberty Flame 14/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 18/1, fifth of 10 in bumper at Punchestown (16f, good). Off 9 months. Makes hurdles debut. Definite ability in bumpers last year so not one to rule out on hurdles debut.
8th	10 8th (10) (7/1 -27%) Now Is The Hour	7 7/1(-27%)	(10) Now Is The Hour 7/1, €30,000 3-y-o, Westerner gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner Katahdin, stayed 2½m, and fair chaser Mister Bells, stays 3¼m. Won on point debut and runner-up next time. Interesting Rules debutant. Points' winner wants an ease so rain will help; respected if ground softens.
9th	11 9th (11) (125/1 -25%) Temptation Time	125 125/1(-25%)	(11) Temptation Time 125/1, Twice-raced maiden. Seventh of 11 in novice hurdle (100/1) at Sligo (17.6f, good) 30 days ago. Up against it. Beaten long way in both maidens; will be of more interest in handicaps in due course.
10th	14 10th (14) (66/1 -164%) Farrokh	66 66/1(-164%)	(14) Farrokh 66/1, Once-raced maiden. 15/2, tenth of 17 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (16.2f, good) on NH debut 33 days ago. Should progress. Novicey round of jumping when never featuring on Punchestown debut; 4yo may need more time.
11th	2 11th (2) (16/1 -60%) Irish Envoy	16 16/1(-60%)	(2) Irish Envoy 16/1, Promising type. Second of 17 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (16.2f, good, 25/1) 33 days ago. Should have more to offer. Punchestown second encouraging but more likely needed to play a leading role here.
12th	4 12th (4) (66/1 -230%) Farewellchancer	66 66/1(-230%)	(4) Farewellchancer 66/1, Notnowcato gelding, first foal, dam, unraced, closely related to fairly useful hurdler (2m-2½m winner) Native Sparkle and half-sister to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser (stayed 25f) Star To The North. Market check advised on debut. Debutant appears the lesser likely of the Elliott pair on jockey bookings.
13th	6 13th (6) (80/1 -142%) Instinct De Loup	80 80/1(-142%)	(6) Instinct De Loup 80/1, €8,000 3-y-o, Puit D'or gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to Grand National winner Mon Mome. Newcomer likely all the better for the experience.
14th	8 14th (8) (100/1 -52%) Mon Loulou	100 100/1(-52%)	(8) Mon Loulou 100/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. 125/1, eleventh of 16 in novice hurdle at Cork (24.8f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 68 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Ian Patrick Donoghue. Fair form in bumpers but tailed off on hurdles debut at Cork; best watched.

LTO Selection:

NOW IS THE HOUR has skipped recent engagements at Down Royal and Bellewstown, but remains of interest. He won his sole point-to-point by a whopping 30 lengths in January and has switched to Gavin Cromwell for his track career. The Folkes Tiara is proving expensive for punters having been a beaten favourite on his last four starts over hurdles. A third place in a Grade B handicap chase at Punchestown in April stands out, though, and there should be one of these in him. Gino Drummer Boy came from a long way back for a never-dangerous fourth in Kilbeggan. He is likely to be a contender. Irish Envoy and Colonel Bellew are in the mix for prize money.

THE FOLKES TIARA has proved consistent over both fences and hurdles and can gain a deserved first success here. Irish Envoy is feared most of those with experience whilst Now Is The Hour looks the pick of the newcomers.

Although a beaten favourite several times in maidens it could pay to persist with THE FOLKES TIARA (nap) in an ordinary maiden

15:15 Downpatrick Maiden Hurdle 18f PREDICTION SIMULATION

15:50 Downpatrick Handicap Hurdle 18f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	6 1st (6) (3.33/1 +76%) Thornleigh Frank	3.33 3.33/1(+76%)	(6) Thornleigh Frank 3.33/1, Creditable seventh of 15 in novice hurdle (10/1) at Ballinrobe (16.2f, good) 44 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Not discounted with more to offer. Beaten a fair way in three maidens; of limited appeal now entering handicaps.
2	7 2nd (7) (7/1 -40%) C'est Quelqu'un	7 7/1(-40%)	(7) C'est Quelqu'un 7/1, Fifth of 7 in handicap chase (5/1) at Leicester (22.7f, good) 135 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Down in trip. First run for yard after leaving Sean Curran. Not ruled out. GBP8,000 buy out of Sean Curran's; respected from top yard.
3	8 3rd (8) (28/1 +0%) Breagagh	28 28/1(+0%)	(8) Breagagh 28/1, Thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Down Royal (7f, good, 14/1) 20 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Below form on last hurdle outing so more is needed. Longstanding maiden under both codes and not easy to see him changing that here.
4	9 4th (9) (8/1 -7%) Kellie's Dream	8 8/1(-7%)	(9) Kellie's Dream 8/1, One win from 3 runs last season. Winner in hurdle at Wexford in September. Respectable seventh of 12 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (19.9f, good to soft, 5/1). Off 9 months but she's no forlorn hope. Returns from 10 months' absence here but runs well fresh so respected from an in-form yard.
5th	4 5th (4) (3.5/1 +13%) Clear The Clouds	3.5 3.5/1(+13%)	(4) Clear The Clouds 3.5/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, respectable fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle at this course (21.8f, good to soft, 9/2) 69 days ago. Considered. Player on the best of his form although wants it softer.
6th	12 6th (12) (25/1 +38%) Maxios Show	25 25/1(+38%)	(12) Maxios Show 25/1, Last of 15 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (15.8f, good to soft, 18/1) 51 days ago, dropping away quickly. Difficult ask. Record in handicaps dismal; professional takes over from amateur here but of little appeal.
7th	11 7th (11) (33/1 +50%) Ivane	33 33/1(+50%)	(11) Ivane 33/1, 80/1, eighth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Roscommon (16.2f, good to soft) 31 days ago, going in snatches. Others appeal more. Not progressing over hurdles, never sighted on handicap debut last time; opposable.
8th	5 8th (5) (33/1 +0%) Sula Warrior	33 33/1(+0%)	(5) Sula Warrior 33/1, Winner in hurdle at Perth in July. Pulled up in handicap hurdle (50/1) at Navan (21.7f, good), driven leaving back straight. Off 9 months with work to do. Perth maiden winner has struggled since; opposable.
9th	1 9th (1) (16/1 -78%) Sovereign Duke	16 16/1(-78%)	(1) Sovereign Duke 16/1, Respectable fifth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (21.6f, good, 11/1) 40 days ago. Shortlisted. Didn't stay 2m5f last time; drop in trip to suit but won't want much rain.
10th	13 10th (13) (8.5/1 -42%) Chancer Dancer	8.5 8.5/1(-42%)	(13) Chancer Dancer 8.5/1, Encouraging sixth of 10 in handicap hurdle (7/2) at Uttoxeter (19.9f, good to soft) 21 days ago, fading late on. On a lenient mark so she's interesting now back in trip. Limited maiden but trip/ground to suit so place claims.
11th	3 11th (3) (12/1 -50%) Ask The Leader	12 12/1(-50%)	(3) Ask The Leader 12/1, Course winner. In third and still going well when fell 3 out in handicap chase at Tipperary (19.5f, soft, 10/1) 9 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles and in the picture. Downpatrick specialist ideally wants a bit further but has to be respected.
12th	2 12th (2) (10/1 +29%) Trishknowsbest	10 10/1(+29%)	(2) Trishknowsbest 10/1, C&D winner. Unseated rider 2nd in handicap chase at Tipperary (17f, good to soft, 10/1) 70 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. First run for yard after leaving Ian Patrick Donoghue. Hood back on and not ruled out. C&D winner last year, needs to bounce back from 2 below-par runs in the spring; yard debut.
13th	10 13th (10) (7/1 -27%) Millies Dream	7 7/1(-27%)	(10) Millies Dream 7/1, Very good fourth of 14 in handicap hurdle (7/1) at Sligo (19.9f, good) 4 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Should have more to offer. Player. Sunday's Sligo fourth now has cheekpieces fitted; definite player.

LTO Selection:

C'EST QUELQU'UN can make an impact on his first start for Gordon Elliott. His form was hit-or-miss in Britain, but he was good enough to win a handicap hurdle and a handicap chase there. He doesn't look harshly treated on a mark of 92 for this contest and Elliott often does well with recruits from Britain. Sovereign Duke is back to the sort of trip he finished a close second over at Tipperary in May and should be involved. Clear The Clouds has been running over further but certainly has form which gives him a chance, while Ask The Leader has won three handicap hurdles at this track, which entitles her to respect.

CHANCER DANCER should benefit from this drop back in trip judged on her fading Uttoxeter sixth last time out and can capitalise on a handy-looking mark now at the chief expense of unexposed pair Millies Dream and Thornleigh Frank who look to have better days ahead of them.

No outstanding candidate and a chance is taken on the reappearing KELLIE'S DREAM from the in-form Andy Slattery yard

15:50 Downpatrick Handicap Hurdle 18f PREDICTION SIMULATION

16:25 Downpatrick Maiden Hurdle 22f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	3 1st (3) (1.1/1 +8%) Foxfire Glow	1.1 1.1/1(+8%)	(3) Foxfire Glow 1.1/1, Fair hurdler. 5/4, respectable third of 15 in novice hurdle at this course (18.8f, good) 25 days ago. Solid form claims. Frustrating maiden but sets a clear standard providing he stays this longer trip.
2	1 2nd (1) (3.33/1 -21%) Howaya C D And E	3.33 3.33/1(-21%)	(1) Howaya C D And E 3.33/1, Fair hurdler. Off 8 months before running-on second of 10 in novice hurdle at this course (18.8f, good to soft) 26 days ago, barely adequate test. Big shout now her stamina is drawn out more. Recent second here holds place claims again and won't mind rain.
3	5 3rd (5) (12/1 -20%) Kalko Blue	12 12/1(-20%)	(5) Kalko Blue 12/1, €11,000 3-y-o, Khalkevi gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser in France No Risk For You. Maiden pointer, unplaced last time (Apr 16). In good hands so not ruled out. Ordinary form in points', not an obvious one to make an immediate impact under rules.
4	6 4th (6) (1.75/1 +42%) Scorsese	1.75 1.75/1(+42%)	(6) Scorsese 1.75/1, €21,000 3-y-o. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/very smart chaser (winner around 2m) I'msingingtheblues. Got off mark in points at second attempt (Mar 5) so he needs considering. Points' winner; market likely good indicator on hurdles debut from respected source.
5th	8 5th (8) (40/1 -150%) Another Nightmare	40 40/1(-150%)	(8) Another Nightmare 40/1, Mahler mare. Dam, showed nothing in bumpers, half-sister to Champion Hurdle winner (stayed 2½m) Rooster Booster. Maiden pointer, third last time (May 21). Considered. Placed in points'; may need this hurdles debut.
6th	7 6th (7) (150/1 -50%) Struell Duke	150 150/1(-50%)	(7) Struell Duke 150/1, September Storm gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to ungenuine but fairly useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 3m) Tullyraine. Failed to complete all 3 starts in points in 2021. Maiden pointer absent for guts of two years and can only be watched on belated rules debut.
7th	2 7th (2) (50/1 +0%) Fisichella	50 50/1(+0%)	(2) Fisichella 50/1, Once-raced maiden. 28/1, eighth of 11 in bumper at Listowel (20f, good) on NH debut 38 days ago. Also pulled up sole start in points (Nov 2022). Makes hurdles debut with more to do. Too keen when well held on last month's hurdles debut at Listowel; can only be watched.
8th	4 8th (4) (80/1 -60%) Hees Dynamite	80 80/1(-60%)	(4) Hees Dynamite 80/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 150/1, seventh of 14 in novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (16.2f, good) 44 days ago. Significantly up in trip with more required. Signs of ability in three runs over hurdles but should do better in handicaps.

LTO Selection:

Perhaps a further step up in trip can see FOXFIRE GLOW make the breakthrough. The five-year-old was a beaten favourite in third on his last outing here, but that represented his best performance to date when upped in trip to an extended 2m2f. He now gets to tackle an extended 2m5f. There won't be any stamina issues for Scorsese, who makes his track debut after landing a point-to-point in March. Howaya C D And E has been placed five times over hurdles and is well in the hunt for more prize money. Another Nightmare and Kalko Blue could be best of the remainder.

HOWAYA C D AND E should prove well suited by this return to further having taken second late on over 2m3f here last time and she can edge out Foxfire Glow, who holds the edge on form but wasn't at his very best when runner-up here last month. Hurdling newcomer Scorsese brings winning point form and needs considering too.

Another ordinary maiden in which FOXFIRE GLOW sets the standard, albeit on form over shorter trips

17:00 Downpatrick Maiden Hurdle 22f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	4 1st (4) (2.25/1 -13%) Gortmillish	2.25 2.25/1(-13%)	(4) Gortmillish 2.25/1, Lightly-raced winner under NH rules. Made light of 20-month absence when landing odds in 7-runner novice hurdle at Perth (16.2f, good) 19 days ago, keeping on well. Significantly up in trip. Open to progress. Returned from a long absence to win a Perth maiden hurdle; up in trip but should stay.
2	3 2nd (3) (1.5/1 +50%) Charlie Luciano	1.5 1.5/1(+50%)	(3) Charlie Luciano 1.5/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Course winner. Career best when winning 7-runner minor event hurdle (5/2) at Bellewstown (16.8f, good) 5 days ago, outbattling runner-up. Up in trip. On the upgrade recently. Three hurdle wins this year, including over 2m2f here and at Bellewstown last week.
3	1 3rd (1) (4.5/1 +18%) Lisnamult Lad	4.5 4.5/1(+18%)	(1) Lisnamult Lad 4.5/1, Thrice-raced winner under NH rules. Won 11-runner novice hurdle at Sligo (17.6f, good, 10/1) on hurdles bow 30 days ago, suited by emphasis on stamina. Up in trip. May well do better. Got off the mark when winning a Sligo maiden on hurdling debut; has to improve up in trip.
4	6 4th (6) (200/1 -33%) Crecerelle	200 200/1(-33%)	(6) Crecerelle 200/1, Poor chaser. 40/1, tenth of 12 in handicap hurdle at this course (17.3f, good) 25 days ago. Up in trip. Regressive maiden is utterly out of his depth in this company even getting weight.
5th	5 5th (5) (3.33/1 +17%) Lady Of The Vale	3.33 3.33/1(+17%)	(5) Lady Of The Vale 3.33/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Latest win in hurdle at Tipperary in May. Second of 4 in novice hurdle (7/1) at Roscommon (20.7f, good to soft) 31 days ago. Thriving and should give another good account. Won a Tipperary maiden over 2m; decent runs over that trip and 2m4f since; chance.

LTO Selection:

A competitive rated novice hurdle. Gordon Elliott's GORTMILLISH had notable form behind very useful horses in a bumper and a maiden hurdle before hacking up by 12 lengths in a Perth maiden hurdle last month. He is taken to enjoy this step up in trip. Charlie Luciano isn't easily passed over. He has won his last three hurdle races, including on his penultimate start at this track. He was tough in winning at Bellewstown on Saturday and is definitely a player if fresh enough after that run. He is also tackling this trip for the first time. Elliott's Stuzzikini was beaten a fair way into second over an extended 3m at Kilbeggan and could appreciate this distance. Lady Of The Vale and Lisnamult Lad cannot be ruled out either.

GORTMILLISH should have more to offer now stepping up in trip and is narrowly preferred to Andrew Slattery's Lady of The Vale, who has done very well in recent months. The selection's stablemate Stuzzikini and last week's Bellewstown scorer Charlie Luciano are others unlikely to be far away.

With Jack Kennedy aboard, GORTMILLISH looks the Elliott number one and this point' winner can improve from his comeback win.

Info	Form	Odds
1	7 1st (7) (4/1 -14%) Ceanndana	4 4/1(-14%)	(7) Ceanndana 4/1, 4/1, creditable third of 13 in handicap hurdle at Sligo (20f, good to soft) 30 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Maiden was third on return at Sligo; best on good ground and should go well.
2	5 2nd (5) (2.75/1 +50%) Nuttorridge	2.75 2.75/1(+50%)	(5) Nuttorridge 2.75/1, C&D winner. Creditable fourth of 15 in handicap hurdle at this course (21.3f, good to soft, 8/1) on reappearance 26 days ago, closing all way to line. Expected to be bang there. Winner over hurdles and fences here; should have improved from comeback and a solid chance.
3	2 3rd (2) (3.5/1 -27%) Winnie Woodnutt	3.5 3.5/1(-27%)	(2) Winnie Woodnutt 3.5/1, Won handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan in April. Second of 15 in handicap chase (13/8) at Limerick (19.7f, good to soft) on debut over fences 49 days ago. Big player. Won over hurdles and decent chase effort since; up 9lb but should be competitive.
4	10 4th (10) (14/1 +44%) Mr Social	14 14/1(+44%)	(10) Mr Social 14/1, 12/1, bit below form eighth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Roscommon (16.2f, good to soft) 31 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Little promise in maidens or two handicaps, so has to improve plenty from comeback.
5th	4 5th (4) (7/1 +36%) Roman Parish	7 7/1(+36%)	(4) Roman Parish 7/1, Creditable fourth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (24.4f, good, 25/1) 24 days ago. Good efforts at Clonmel (2m3f) and Kilbeggan (3m); this trip should be ideal and a chance.
6th	12 6th (12) (125/1 -279%) Corrigaleen	125 125/1(-279%)	(12) Corrigaleen 125/1, Remains a maiden after 16 NH runs. Pulled up in handicap hurdle at this course (21.4f, soft, 12/1), pulled up before last. Off 13 months. Maiden after 16 starts has been well beaten off this mark when last seen and best watched.
7th	11 7th (11) (11/1 -22%) Silverstrand	11 11/1(-22%)	(11) Silverstrand 11/1, Eleventh of 16 in handicap hurdle (9/2) at Kilbeggan (24.4f, good) 24 days ago but had been a good third at Ballinrobe prior to that. Could bounce back. Two good runs earlier this season but tailed-off at Kilbeggan and questions to answer.
8th	9 8th (9) (80/1 -100%) Janverlil	80 80/1(-100%)	(9) Janverlil 80/1, 33/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, twelfth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (24.4f, good) 24 days ago. Little promise in maidens or on recent handicap debut and difficult to make a case for.
9th	15 9th (15) (100/1 -100%) Zagnzig	100 100/1(-100%)	(15) Zagnzig 100/1, One win from 52 NH runs. Thirty five runs since last win in 2018. Pulled up in handicap chase at this course (19.2f, good to soft, 22/1) 69 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Veteran has been pulled-up over hurdles and fences lately and not easy to make a case for.
3	3 \|F\| (3) (7.5/1 -67%) Cool Croi	7.5 7.5/1(-67%)	(3) Cool Croi 7.5/1, Sixth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Perth (23.9f, good, 10/3) 19 days ago, folding. Not taken lightly for top stable. Disappointing at Perth last time following a good run there; has a squeak if bouncing back.
14	14 \|F\| (14) (25/1 +24%) Kanors Girl	25 25/1(+24%)	(14) Kanors Girl 25/1, Eleventh of 15 in handicap hurdle at this course (21.3f, good to soft, 14/1) 26 days ago. Has been regressive in handicaps and well beaten at Limerick plus over C&D latest.

11th	8 11th (8) (33/1 +34%) Presenting Beeper	33 33/1(+34%)	(8) Presenting Beeper 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 66/1, tenth of 12 in handicap hurdle at this course (17.4f, good to soft) 69 days ago. Up in trip. Beaten a long way on handicap debut over 2m2f here in May; needs loads of improvement.

6	6 \|PU\| (6) (16/1 -14%) Our Jervis	16 16/1(-14%)	(6) Our Jervis 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tongue strap on for 1st time cheekpieces on for 1st time, fifth of 15 in handicap hurdle (25/1) at this course (21.3f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Best run came over C&D last time; cheekpieces worn then removed; can be involved.

LTO Selection:

NUTTORRIDGE made up plenty of ground in the latter stages over a similar trip at this track in June to finish fourth. He enjoys the undulations in Downpatrick, having won over hurdles and fences at this venue. His trainer Mark McNiff is beginning to hit form, with two winners in the last week. Winnie Woodnutt was a ready winner when last seen over hurdles at Kilbeggan in April. She has been performing very consistently for some time now. Ceanndana has been placed in three of his last six hurdle races, which gives him a shot. Cool Croi and Silverstrand represent powerful stables and will be eyeing a cheque.

NUTTORRIDGE made an encouraging return from 8 months off when fourth here last month and is given a chance to build on that promise. Winnie Woodnutt followed her win over hurdles this spring with a chase second from this mark at Limerick and is second choice ahead of Ceanndana and Gordon Elliott's Cool Croi.

With the forecast Good ground in his favour, CEANNDANA should be able to build upon his Sligo return and get off the mark.

1	3 1st (3) (150/1 -436%) Feast	150 150/1(-436%)	(3) Feast 150/1, Fair in bumpers for Fergal O'Brien but absent since making a discouraging start over hurdles for that yard in spring of last year. Others preferred making a belated return for new yard.
2	2 2nd (2) (7/1 +0%) Fathom Two	7 7/1(+0%)	(2) Fathom Two 7/1, Twice-raced maiden. 12/1, first run since leaving Sean McParlan when third of 9 in bumper at this C&D (good to soft) 26 days ago. Needs to step up further on that if he's to open his account here.
3	4 3rd (4) (16/1 +68%) Mister Vic	16 16/1(+68%)	(4) Mister Vic 16/1, Twice-raced maiden. Ninth of 13 in bumper (100/1) at Sligo (18f, soft). Off 8 months. First run for yard after leaving Mervyn Torrens.
4	5 4th (5) (0.91/1 +39%) New Sheriff	0.91 0.91/1(+39%)	(5) New Sheriff 0.91/1, Lawman gelding who confirmed debut promise on back of 12 months off when second in 9-runner C&D bumper 26 days ago. A repeat here should see him thereabouts.
5th	8 5th (8) (3/1 -117%) Air Drop	3 3/1(-117%)	(8) Air Drop 3/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. Second of 7 in bumper (4/1) at this course (17.3f, good) on bumper debut 25 days ago. Rates a likely player here with a repeat.
6th	7 6th (7) (22/1 +33%) Wholly Boley	22 22/1(+33%)	(7) Wholly Boley 22/1, Twice-raced maiden. 16/1, fifth of 9 in bumper at this C&D (good to soft) 26 days ago, weakening from 3f out. Can only be watched here.
7th	6 7th (6) (14/1 +30%) Thief Of The Night	14 14/1(+30%)	(6) Thief Of The Night 14/1, €13,000 3-y-o, Mahler gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 29f) Delusionofgrandeur (by Mahler). Made frame once from 3 starts in points, unplaced latest (Oct 2022). Wears tongue strap.
8th	9 8th (9) (8.5/1 -6%) Ballerina Boxer	8.5 8.5/1(-6%)	(9) Ballerina Boxer 8.5/1, Third sole start in points. Once-raced maiden under Rules. 11/2, tenth of 15 in bumper at Thurles (16.3f, good to soft) on NH debut 140 days ago, ridden approaching straight and soon beaten.
9th	1 9th (1) (33/1 -50%) Castlebawn North	33 33/1(-50%)	(1) Castlebawn North 33/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. Switches from hurdles to bumpers. First run for yard after leaving W. P. Mullins. Hood on 1st time.

LTO Selection:

AIR DROP was no match for a wide-margin winner of a bumper at this track last month, but could get her turn now. Her trainer Gordon Elliott has a good record in this race. New Sheriff and Fathom Two finished second and third respectively in another bumper at this track. They were both beaten fair distances, but New Sheriff was 14 lengths in front of Fathom Two. John McConnell's Ballerina Boxer attracted plenty of support for her first bumper in Thurles, but finished 10th. She is likely to do much better here. McConnell and Alex Harvey teamed up with a winner in Bellewstown on Saturday.

AIR DROP matched the form of her hurdling debut effort when runner-up in a bumper here 25 days ago and with the likelihood of better to come, she can come out on top. New Sheriff rates the chief danger.

Both New Sheriff and AIR DROP have shown similar levels of form. Preference is for the latter, receiving the 7lb mares' allowance.

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.
