1	2 1st (2) (4/6 +47%) Intense Approach		0.666667 4/6(+47%)																															(2) Intense Approach 4/6, Two wins from 3 starts in bumpers. Failed to complete first 3 starts over hurdles but comes here on the back of a respectable second of 11 in novice hurdle (11/8) at this C&D (good) 15 days ago. He did complete here last time and gave a consistent rival plenty to think about.
2	4 2nd (4) (4/1 -233%) Stormbreaker		4 4/1(-233%)																															(4) Stormbreaker 4/1, Fairly useful and consistent on Flat (stays 2m) for James Fanshawe. Well-beaten on back of 22-month absence/for new yard when fourteenth of 17 in handicap at Galway (16.5f) 26 days ago but surprise where he not capable of better now hurdling with that run under his belt. Dual Flat winner; recent stable debut at Galway (Flat, well held) was after an absence.
3	3 3rd (3) (7/1 +42%) Sir Jimmy Mac		7 7/1(+42%)																															(3) Sir Jimmy Mac 7/1, Fairly useful winner at 17f in bumpers. Some promise in pair of hurdle runs for new yard, fourth of 14 in novice hurdle (12/1) at Wexford (16.7f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Still, handicaps may suit better on the back of this. Lightly raced 8yo; won his bumper here but looks vulnerable on hurdling achievements.
4	6 4th (6) (100/1 -203%) Jackady		100 100/1(-203%)																															(6) Jackady 100/1, €30,000 3-y-o, Voiladenuo gelding. Half-brother to fair French chaser Ange L'hermitage. Unplaced both completed starts in points (latest May 25). Hood reached for on debut. Hard to take too many positives out of his five runs in points; hood added for rules debut.
5th	7 5th (7) (8/1 -7%) Jeu De Pic		8 8/1(-7%)																															(7) Jeu De Pic 8/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Good fourth of 15 in novice hurdle at Roscommon (20.2f, soft, 6/1) 20 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Things are picking up after going down by about 4l in his last two maidens (at 2m4f).
6th	1 6th (1) (11/1 -10%) Eco Pete		11 11/1(-10%)																															(1) Eco Pete 11/1, Bumper winner. Fair maiden hurdler. 20/1, creditable fourth of 11 in novice hurdle at this C&D (good) 15 days ago, headed after last and no extra run-in. That was his first start for 4 months and he may be sharper here. Has ground to make up with Intense Approach on their recent encounter here.
5	5 |PU| (5) (150/1 -355%) Castlenagree		150 150/1(-355%)																															(5) Castlenagree 150/1, Well held in pair of bumpers during 2021/22 season and no impact in handful of starts between the flags thereafter. Best watched on return/now hurdling. Achieved little in two bumpers and a similar a similar tale in his four points.

This looks a good opportunity for INTENSE APPROACH to make the breakthrough over hurdles. He has two bumpers banked, but has accumulated unwanted letters beside his name when falling in Wexford and Bellewstown and being pulled up at Kelso. He took a big step forward in this discipline, though, when second over C&D this month. Stormbreaker is the potential fly in the ointment. James Fanshawe saddled him to win twice on the Flat in Britain and he wasn't unbacked on his debut for Willie Mullins on the level in Galway. He was unplaced and is swiftly sent over hurdles, and will know his job. Jeu De Pic and Eco Pete have both shown enough to have a say here.

INTENSE APPROACH ran well on his first completed start over hurdles in a C&D novice 2 weeks ago and with the likelihood of more to come, he's of interest in his bid to go one place better. Hurdles debutant Stormbreaker needs considering for the powerful Willie Mullins' yard. Eco Pete can do best of the remainder.

Stormbreaker will be popular but INTENSE APPROACH is preferred after running his best race yet over hurdles here last time.

1	9 1st (9) (15/2 +25%) Portnacoo		7.5 15/2(+25%)																															(9) Portnacoo 15/2, 10/1, first run since leaving Jamie Albert Sloan when respectable fifth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Sligo (20.6f, soft) 5 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Showed some ability on stable debut at Sligo last week, may improve enough to feature.
2	5 2nd (5) (4/1 +20%) My Policy		4 4/1(+20%)																															(5) My Policy 4/1, 25/1, creditable third of 8 in handicap hurdle at this C&D (good) 15 days ago, closing when not clear run approaching last. Remains relatively lightly raced and he's one to bear in mind. Has made the frame twice at this venue this season; met some trouble in running last time.
3	7 3rd (7) (10/3 -33%) Pettigo		3.333333 10/3(-33%)																															(7) Pettigo 10/3, Good third of 10 in handicap hurdle (7/2) at this course (17.8f, good) 15 days ago. One to consider judged on balance of his efforts since returning to action, now stepping back up in trip. Placed on both starts at this venue in recent months, capable of making her presence felt.
4	1 4th (1) (3/1 +65%) Andys Flame		3 3/1(+65%)																															(1) Andys Flame 3/1, Course winner who possibly needed the run after 9 months off when eighth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Bellewstown (24.5f, good to firm, 7/1) 51 days ago. Better showing can be expected from reduced mark. Course winner over 2m3f in March 2022, may have needed Bellewstown run after lengthy break.
4	6 4th (6) (9/1 +36%) Mustameet Secret		9 9/1(+36%)																															(6) Mustameet Secret 9/1, Pulled up in handicap hurdle (22/1) at Roscommon (24f, soft) 20 days ago, pulled up after 4 out. Best watched at present. Fair fourth at Cork in July, hard to be confident on the basis of her last two races.
6th	8 6th (8) (22/1 -10%) Dunleer Phoenix		22 22/1(-10%)																															(8) Dunleer Phoenix 22/1, Twelfth of 15 in handicap hurdle at this C&D (good, 18/1) 15 days ago, never involved following 11 months off. This should reveal more but his overall record is anything but solid. Moderate third at Bellewstown three starts back, weak overall lately, from a leading yard.
7th	10 7th (10) (14/1 -17%) Hob's Angel		14 14/1(-17%)																															(10) Hob's Angel 14/1, 200/1, fourteenth of 17 in novice hurdle at Navan (20f, good to soft) in September, always behind. Lengthy absence to overcome now handicapping for new yard and a lot more required if she's to figure. Some promise in bumpers in 2022, weak hurdles form, off for 12 months, change of stable.
8th	4 8th (4) (7/1 +50%) Circus Act		7 7/1(+50%)																															(4) Circus Act 7/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. Sixth of 7 in claiming hurdle at Sligo (17.8f, soft, 14/1) 18 days ago. Back up in trip. Only one win from 20 hurdles starts but placed six times, needs to improve on recent form.
9th	2 9th (2) (12/1 +40%) Quite Incredible		12 12/1(+40%)																															(2) Quite Incredible 12/1, Off the mark over C&D in May. However, disappointed both starts since, pulled up in handicap hurdle (25/1) at Roscommon (24f, soft) 20 days ago, tailed off when pulled up before 3 out. Visor replaces cheekpieces now. Has the merit of being a C&D winner but hard to be confident after Roscommon failure.

TANKARDSTOWN DIVA appeals back at this sort of trip. She made up plenty of ground for fifth over an extended 2m in Galway that was probably sharp enough for her. Prior to that, she won over a staying trip at Down Royal and was placed in Bellewstown. Class-dropper Andys Flame won on his sole previous visit to Downpatrick, so is a significant threat. Quite Incredible won over C&D in May and, although his next two efforts have been underwhelming, he gets a first-time visor and a better performance could be on the way. Pettigo reserves her best performances for this track and has been placed on both visits.

TANKARDSTOWN DIVA shaped well, particularly with a view to stepping back up in trip, when fifth in a big-field handicap at Galway (16.6f) 4 weeks ago and, remaining the type to do better still in handicaps, she makes a good deal of appeal here. My Policy and Pettigo can emerge as the lead threats, along with Andys Flame.

Considering that 2m might have been expected to be too short, TANKARDSTOWN DIVA (nap) ran well at Galway. She will be hard to beat now

1	2 1st (2) (15/8 -50%) Prairie Dancer		1.875 15/8(-50%)																															(2) Prairie Dancer 15/8, Useful sort. Below par when sixth of 11 in maiden chase (10/3) at Kilbeggan (25.4f, good to soft) 45 days ago but the one to beat if back to the form he showed when second at Tipperary in May. Multiple Flat/hurdle winner; 0-3 as a chaser but has posed an RPR of 129; no excuses here.
2	3 2nd (3) (6/4 +0%) Watch The Weather		1.5 6/4(+0%)																															(3) Watch The Weather 6/4, Fairly useful hurdler. Similar form when placed in a pair of Wexford maiden chases this summer. Should go well. Useful hurdler and a solid start over fences with thirds over this far at Wexford.
3	4 3rd (4) (7/1 +42%) Air Drop		7 7/1(+42%)																															(4) Air Drop 7/1, Fair hurdler. Fair winner at 17f over hurdles. 12/1, seventh of 11 in novice chase at Roscommon (16.5f, soft) on debut over fences 20 days ago. Might come on for that first outing in 9 months. Hurdle winner; 12-1 and beaten 25l on her switch to fences at Roscommon.
4	5 4th (5) (15/2 +38%) Red Ball Of Fire		7.5 15/2(+38%)																															(5) Red Ball Of Fire 15/2, Fairly useful hurdler. 8/1, ninth of 14 in handicap at Sligo (13.4f, soft) 19 days ago, unsuited by way race developed. Switches from Flat to chase. One chase run (unplaced); competitive hurdler but others superior in that discipline.
5th	6 5th (6) (18/1 -80%) Pacini		18 18/1(-80%)																															(6) Pacini 18/1, Fairly useful hurdler. 7/1, pulled up in novice chase at Roscommon (16.5f, soft) on debut over fences 20 days ago, tailing off over circuit out. Useful hurdler but hasn't progressed; didn't jump or travel when pulled up on chase debut.
1	1 |F| (1) (12/1 +0%) Bukhill		12 12/1(+0%)																															(1) Bukhill 12/1, Fair hurdler. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, held in fourth when unseated rider 2 out in novice at Tramore (15.6f, good, 15/2) on debut over fences 11 days ago. Back up in trip. Little on the Flat prior to chase debut at Tramore where he was held when unseating.

PRAIRIE DANCER could be dangerous if able to dictate in this small field. This talented hurdler has had three spins over the bigger obstacles and has to bounce back from a below-par run at Kilbeggan last month, but that is feasible. On his penultimate start over fences, he was second to a ready winner in Tipperary who boosted the form in a very competitive novice chase at Killarney on Saturday. Watch The Weather should be heavily involved on the back of a couple of third places in beginners' chases at Wexford. There is surely more to come from Pacini in this discipline while Bukhill, who unseated at Tramore, isn't out of it.

Joseph O'Brien's PRAIRIE DANCER is taken to shrug off a below-par run at Kilbeggan and prove too strong for Watch The Weather.

This will probably concern PRAIRIE DANCER and Watch The Weather, who are the pick on the best of their hurdle and chase form.

Down in trip. Can give a good account 3m1f looked too far on chase debut latest; running well and should feature.

One win from 31 NH runs. 8/1, respectable 11¾ lengths fourth of 13 to Aliunde in handicap chase at Kilbeggan (19.9f, good) 31 days ago.

Twenty runs since last win in 2022. 12/1, good third of 14 in handicap chase at Tipperary (17.3f, good to soft) 55 days ago. Placed last time at Tipperary but this exposed 11yo finds winning difficult.
5th	11 5th (11) (50/1 +0%) Fr Gilligansvoyge		50 50/1(+0%)																															(11) Fr Gilligansvoyge 50/1, One win from 54 NH runs. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 66/1, ninth of 13 in handicap chase at Tramore (21.8f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Record of 1-54 overall and 1-27 as a chaser; very opposable on recent exploits.
6th	5 6th (5) (11/2 -656%) Desert Heather		5.5 11/2(-656%)																															(5) Desert Heather 11/2, 9/4, second of 3 in minor event hurdle at Clonmel (24f, heavy), finishing tired. Switches from hurdles to chase. First run for yard after leaving Declan Queally. Makes handicap chase debut. Good bit to prove as a chaser but she's thrown in on her hurdle form.
7th	4 7th (4) (11/1 +45%) Moneynabane		11 11/1(+45%)																															(4) Moneynabane 11/1, Modest winner at 22f over hurdles.

Sixth of 14 in handicap chase (20/1) at Tramore (15.6f, good to soft) 8 days ago. Back up in trip. Booking of Stone-Walsh a plus. Longstanding maiden over hurdles and beaten more than 20l in his two handicap chases.

Rated much lower over fences compared to her hurdles mark of 128, DESERT HEATHER could prove hard to beat. The eight-year-old was fourth in a Listed contest when sent off favourite on her penultimate start and she clearly didn't enjoy very testing conditions when last seen at Clonmel in December. Successful at Kilbeggan in July, Aliunde is sure to have plenty of supporters, while dual course winner Robin De Roost is another to consider.

ALIUNDE had a bit in hand at Ballinrobe a fortnight ago and an 8 lb rise doesn't look enough to stop Mark McNiff's charge. Calahill ran well at Cartmel last time and is second choice ahead of Desert Heather, who progressed into a useful hurdler for Declan Queally and has scope from her much lower chase mark if new trainer Rodger Sweeney has her primed after 8 months off.

The mare DESERT HEATHER has achieved little in three previous runs over regulation fences but she's thrown in on her hurdling form.

Unseated rider in handicap chase at Tramore (15.6f, good to soft, 14/1) 8 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Having a disappointing year with the exception of his second at Wexford; others preferred.
2	8 2nd (8) (12/1 -20%) Sadies Diamond		12 12/1(-20%)																															(8) Sadies Diamond 12/1, 15/2, running creditably when fell in handicap chase at Wexford (16f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Would have been placed at best had she not fallen late on at Wexford; each-way claims.
3	3 3rd (3) (9/1 +10%) Ahead Of The Posse		9 9/1(+10%)																															(3) Ahead Of The Posse 9/1, Hooded for 1st time, creditable eighth of 15 in handicap chase at Wexford (25.3f, good to soft, 22/1) 19 days ago, going in snatches.

Recent Galway handicap hurdle winner who looks well-in on this return to chasing.

WINDING RIVER clearly enjoys his trips to Downpatrick and has yet to finish outside the first three in five visits to the venue. A runner-up on three of his last four starts, he can go well once again. The hat-trick seeking Presenting Lad is sure to prove popular once again. Faux Fur was narrowly behind Presenting Lad at Tramore and is likely to give a good account of herself, while Galway winner Son Of Hypnos is another with claims.

The versatile SON OF HYPNOS may be able to land a second course chase win. Gordon Elliott handicap chase newcomer Faux Fur is an obvious threat under Jack Kennedy, with Winding River next on the list.

Competitive. WINDING RIVER deserves a break over fences and he might get one now returning to the scene of both his hurdle wins.

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.
