Should improve. Well-related, fair third at Bellewstown, plenty of room for improvement in his jumping.
2	8 2nd (8) (3/1 -33%) Newtown Rambler	3 3/1(-33%)	(8) Newtown Rambler 3/1, Snow Sky gelding. Half-brother to top-class chaser Corach Rambler. Runner-up on first of 2 starts in points, pulled up last time (May 12). One for shortlist on debut given connections. Wears tongue strap. Half-brother to Grand National winner Corach Rambler, second in a point, hood/tongue-tie.
3	5 3rd (5) (33/1 -83%) International Lady	33 33/1(-83%)	(5) International Lady 33/1, Regressive and increasingly temperamental (refused to race last time) on the Flat who exceeded expectations with that backdrop in mind when seventh of 14 at Kilbeggan (16f, good) on hurdling debut 28 days ago. 2-32 on Flat, plenty of improvement needed from last month's hurdling debut at Kilbeggan.
4	6 4th (6) (16/1 -33%) Comeonarchie	16 16/1(-33%)	(6) Comeonarchie 16/1, Modest in bumpers and was in need of the experience sent hurdling when last of 8 in maiden at Bellewstown (20.5f, good) 23 days ago. Ordinary bumper form, needs to jump more tidily than on his first attempt at Bellewstown.
5th	9 5th (9) (33/1 +0%) Hijo De La Luna	33 33/1(+0%)	(9) Hijo De La Luna 33/1, Fair maiden on the Flat (stays 1¼m), struggling for form. 14-race maiden on the Flat, placed only once, ordinary form over 1m2f on last two starts.
6th	3 6th (3) (8/11 -9%) Omniscient	0.727273 8/11(-9%)	(3) Omniscient 8/11, Useful winner at 12f on Flat and fairly useful form at best over hurdles. Sets the standard. Looks the clear pick of these runners based on a Naas third and Punchestown second.
7th	4 7th (4) (50/1 -67%) The Mpex Kid	50 50/1(-67%)	(4) The Mpex Kid 50/1, Fair Flat winner but down the field in 2 maiden hurdles. Four-time Flat winner, well below his best on his last three starts, weak hurdles form.
8th	1 8th (1) (80/1 -60%) Bringsty	80 80/1(-60%)	(1) Bringsty 80/1, Fair on Flat but has shown little all 3 outings over hurdles. Four-time winner on Flat, three hurdle runs this season provide no encouragement.
9th	11 9th (11) (50/1 -25%) Wishes And Dreams	50 50/1(-25%)	(11) Wishes And Dreams 50/1, Modest maiden on the Flat who was well held on Down Royal hurdling debut in April. Placed three times on AW at Dundalk, tailed off on hurdling debut at Down Royal in April.

OMNISCIENT looks a likely sort for Gordon Elliott and Jack Kennedy who have a strong record at this racetrack. This five-year-old gelding has been placed in two of his four maiden hurdles and winners have come out of the race that he finished fourth in at Punchestown in June. Tell Nobody Nothin showed ability in third on debut at Bellewstown and is entitled to improve from that outing. Newtown Rambler is a point-to-point graduate who starts out on his track career for Henry de Bromhead. He could have a role to play at the business end.

Henry de Bromhead has his team in cracking order at present so winning-pointer NEWTOWN RAMBLER has to be of obvious interest on his Rules debut, especially as standard-setter Omniscient is starting to look expensive to follow. Tell Nobody Nothin made an encouraging start to his career at Bellewstown in April and is also feared with improvement on the cards.

If forgiven a weak finishing effort when fourth at Punchestown in June, OMNISCIENT has good credentials for a race of this standard.

14:45 Downpatrick Handicap Hurdle 18f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	8 1st (8) (7/1 +36%) Only One Plan	7 7/1(+36%)	(8) Only One Plan 7/1, One win from 22 NH runs. 12/1, fifteenth of 20 in handicap hurdle at Galway (16.7f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Others more persuasive. Chased home the well-handicapped Petrol Head here in June, doubts raised by last two runs.
2	5 2nd (5) (10/3 -33%) Mary	3.333333 10/3(-33%)	(5) Mary 10/3, Career best when winning 15-runner handicap hurdle (7/2) at Stratford (16.3f, good) 24 days ago, always holding on. Can give a good account. Seemed to appreciate quick ground when making all for Stratford win last month.
3	7 3rd (7) (10/3 +0%) Bayou Belle	3.333333 10/3(+0%)	(7) Bayou Belle 10/3, Creditable second of 13 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (16.9f, good to soft, 5/1) 21 days ago. Expected to be bang there. 0-12 over hurdles but has to be taken seriously following three successive seconds.

6th	2 6th (2) (20/1 -43%) Gladiatorial	20 20/1(-43%)	(2) Gladiatorial 20/1, Course winner. Twenty one runs since last win in 2021. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, ninth of 10 in handicap hurdle (16/1) at this C&D (good) 97 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Won over 2m6f at this venue in 2021, second in this event last year, moderate recent form.
7th	10 7th (10) (16/1 -129%) Pepperpots	16 16/1(-129%)	(10) Pepperpots 16/1, Winner in bumper here in May. Below form sixth of 14 in maiden hurdle (28/1) at Kilbeggan (16f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Potential improver in handicaps. 100-1 course bumper winner in May on good ground, balance of form is unconvincing.
8th	4 8th (4) (33/1 -83%) Darkened	33 33/1(-83%)	(4) Darkened 33/1, Good sixth of 15 in claiming hurdle at Roscommon (20.6f, good to soft, 50/1) 74 days ago. 3-23 over hurdles but rarely at his best since two seasons ago, Dundalk winner last winter.
9th	6 9th (6) (11/2 +8%) The Vegas Raider	5.5 11/2(+8%)	(6) The Vegas Raider 11/2, Winner in hurdle at Ballinrobe in August. Respectable eleventh of 20 in handicap hurdle at Galway (16.7f, good to soft, 10/1) 11 days ago. Won at Ballinrobe after C&D second to Steps In The Sand, down the field at Galway latest.
10th	1 10th (1) (16/1 +36%) Point Gellibrand	16 16/1(+36%)	(1) Point Gellibrand 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden over hurdles. Fairly useful winner at 10f on flat. 16/1 and blinkered for 1st time, sixth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Cartmel (22.1f, heavy) 25 days ago. Respectable efforts in maiden hurdles here in April/May, hard to fancy on subsequent form.
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (12/1 -118%) Kilbride Hill	12 12/1(-118%)	(9) Kilbride Hill 12/1, 1 win from 3 runs this season. Respectable fifth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Sligo (17.4f, soft, 13/2) 30 days ago. Sligo win was achieved despite some untidy jumping, similar flaws apparent last time.

STEPS IN THE SAND won over C&D in July and has to be respected with that form franked. In all probability, the longer distance probably found her out when she was fourth on her latest visit to Downpatrick. British-raider Mary looks set to go off at the front and those tactics worked well in Stratford last month. Her trainer, Ian Williams, enjoyed a successful raid at Laytown on Monday. Bayou Belle arrives in a consistent vein of form and has been placed in her last four races over flights including at this venue in January. She is another threat.

BAYOU BELLE has been knocking at the door at Wexford in recent months and can deservedly get her head back in front. Steps In The Sand has thrived under both codes this summer and is second choice ahead of Mary, a winner at Stratford last month.

This looks quite open. STEPS IN THE SAND, a C&D winner who ran well on the Flat last time, is arguably the most appealing.

PORTNACOO routed the opposition over further at this track in August and, although he got a hike from the handicapper, would be the one to beat if in the same kind of form. That was just his second run since switching to Harry Smyth and this is a big drop in class from that 80-109 handicap hurdle. Init Together was runner-up over C&D last month and another solid shift is on the cards. Sandyman was a beaten favourite in fifth when last seen over C&D, but has the ability to get involved. Finn Russell didn't make an impact in three hurdle races in Britain last year, but gets in here off bottom weight and has been in decent nick on the Flat.

SANDYMAN was bang there until clouting the final flight here last time and it's surely only a matter of time before he's winning a handicap hurdle for John McConnell. Init Together, last-time-out course scorer Portnacoo and British raider Finn Russell may give him most to think about.

Preference is for SANDYMAN. He ran well here in August 2023, he should strip fitter for his comeback run and his jockey takes off 5lb

15:20 Downpatrick Handicap Hurdle 18f PREDICTION SIMULATION

15:55 Downpatrick Maiden Hurdle 22f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	5 1st (5) (10/1 -43%) That's About Right	10 10/1(-43%)	(5) That's About Right 10/1, Fair hurdler. C&D winner. 2 wins from 4 runs this season, latest at Wexford in August. 6/1, only fifth of 6 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (19f, soft) 16 days ago. Backed up C&D win in May with Wexford success last month, progress seems to have stalled.
2	3 2nd (3) (16/5 -42%) Dinoland	3.2 16/5(-42%)	(3) Dinoland 16/5, Made it 2 wins from his last 3 starts in 19-runner handicap hurdle at Down Royal (24f, good) 21 days ago, kept up to work. Expected to be thereabouts with a repeat. Made it two wins from last three runs with a fine win in a 3m Down Royal handicap hurdle.
3	1 3rd (1) (11/2 -120%) Cloonainra	5.5 11/2(-120%)	(1) Cloonainra 11/2, Made a winning start to her career under Rules in 13-runner maiden hurdle at Sligo (17.8f, soft) 43 days ago. Up in trip. Open to improvement. Point winner, wide-margin maiden hurdle winner at Sligo, first time on good ground now.
4	2 4th (2) (15/2 -7%) Rowdy Romeo	7.5 15/2(-7%)	(2) Rowdy Romeo 15/2, Winner at Thurles in March but ran below form at Punchestown on final outing. Needs to get back on track. Decent placed form in maidens before handicap hurdle success in March, lacks a recent run.
5th	6 5th (6) (11/1 +21%) Love Like This	11 11/1(+21%)	(6) Love Like This 11/1, Fair hurdler. Seventh of 11 in handicap hurdle (25/1) at Ballinrobe (22f, good) 7 days ago. Notched two seconds at Sligo last month, unplaced in a handicap at Ballinrobe last week.
4	4 \|U\| (4) (11/8 +27%) Boston Jury	1.375 11/8(+27%)	(4) Boston Jury 11/8, Progressed again to get off the mark in 13-runner maiden hurdle at Down Royal (20f, good, 7/2) 21 days ago. More to come and has leading claims. Beat a well-fancied rival over 2m4f at Down Royal, further progress is on the cards.

Point-to-point winner Cloonainra impressed on her debut under rules as she sailed in by nine lengths in a maiden hurdle at Sligo for John McConnell. That said, all her form is on much slower ground. BOSTON JURY got off the mark on his third outing in a maiden hurdle at Down Royal. He was the subject of good support that day and looks to have some scope for improvement. Dinoland, a stablemate of Cloonainra, won over 3m at Down Royal and also has winning form over a similar trip to this one from Cartmel. He is a player. That's About Right has found life tougher off his revised mark, while Rowdy Romeo is returning from a break.

BOSTON JURY is progressing nicely so he's taken to follow up from Down Royal. Dinoland is considered the main threat ahead of Bangor-scorer Cloonainra.

The four-year-old BOSTON JURY is potentially the most progressive of these and may add to his recent Down Royal maiden win

16:30 Downpatrick Maiden Chase 18f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	10 1st (10) (11/1 -22%) Someone's Wish	11 11/1(-22%)	(10) Someone's Wish 11/1, Fair hurdler. Good sixth of 17 in handicap (11/1) at Navan (10.2f, good) 13 days ago. Makes chase debut. Respectable on last hurdle run. Ran well here over hurdles in June and with a top yard so can't be discounted, chase debut.
2	4 2nd (4) (7/1 -40%) Tuckmill	7 7/1(-40%)	(4) Tuckmill 7/1, Fair hurdler. 1 win from 2 runs this season. Career best when winning 10-runner handicap hurdle at Wexford (16.7f, good to soft, 8/1) 42 days ago. Makes chase debut. Respected. Won handicap hurdle off 94 last time, in good heart and can't be discounted on chase debut.
3	11 3rd (11) (10/3 +5%) Katakana	3.333333 10/3(+5%)	(11) Katakana 10/3, Modest hurdler. 14/1, good seventh of 18 in handicap hurdle at Tipperary (16f, good to soft) 78 days ago. Makes chase debut. Yard in good form. The choice of Blackmore, bred for chasing, gets weight from her rivals, interesting.
4	9 4th (9) (33/1 +18%) Halla Paroiste	33 33/1(+18%)	(9) Halla Paroiste 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Seventeenth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Tipperary (16f, good to soft, 50/1) 78 days ago. Makes chase debut. Ability in maiden hurdles, not an obvious candidate for chasing on pedigree, watch.
5th	8 5th (8) (10/1 +38%) My Policy	10 10/1(+38%)	(8) My Policy 10/1, Fair hurdler. 4/1, bit below form second of 9 in handicap hurdle at this course (21.8f, good) 25 days ago. Makes chase debut. Chasing debutante, has course form over hurdles, ground suits, could outrun likely odds.
6th	3 6th (3) (16/1 -220%) Sea Road Fill	16 16/1(-220%)	(3) Sea Road Fill 16/1, Modest chaser. 80/1, fifth of 7 in novice chase at Galway (18.2f, good) 52 days ago. Big chance if that run doesn't flatter him. 0-3 over fences, best efforts came on softer ground, jumping must improve for him to win.
7th	1 7th (1) (5/1 -50%) Due Course	5 5/1(-50%)	(1) Due Course 5/1, Modest hurdler. 4/1, career best when winning 16-runner handicap hurdle at Bellewstown (17.2f, good) 23 days ago. Going the right way and has a background in points, so definite player on chase bow. Won a handicap hurdle off 90 last time out, likes good ground and he makes the shortlist.
8th	5 8th (5) (12/1 -71%) Warm In Gorey	12 12/1(-71%)	(5) Warm In Gorey 12/1, Fair hurdler. Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 13/2, seventh of 9 in handicap chase at Killarney (17f, soft) 29 days ago. Course winner over hurdles, decent effort in beginners' chase here in May, leading claims.
9th	7 9th (7) (5/1 -43%) Bobbi Gin Tree	5 5/1(-43%)	(7) Bobbi Gin Tree 5/1, Fair hurdler. 6/1, running well fell in handicap hurdle at Wexford (20.4f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Makes chase debut. One to consider. Fell latest hurdling start, related to chase winners and top yard, chance if jumps well.
10th	6 10th (6) (125/1 -25%) What's Lariat Now	125 125/1(-25%)	(6) What's Lariat Now 125/1, Modest hurdler. 50/1, bit below form eleventh of 19 in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (24f, good) 21 days ago.

Connections mentioned chasing for DUE COURSE after he obliged over flights in Bellewstown last month and they get their wish in this beginners' chase. The six-year-old gelding appreciates good ground and this trip is ideal for him. Tuckmill is another hurdle winner sent over fences and he has to be respected, particularly as his trainer commented after that handicap hurdle victory in Wexford that he is a chaser in the making. Sea Road Fill faced a tough task in a beginners' chase at the Galway Festival and did as well as could be expected in fifth. Bobbi Gin Tree wasn't beaten in third when she fell at the penultimate hurdle in Wexford. She banked a runner-up spot at Sligo in July and could make her presence felt over the bigger obstacles.

DUE COURSE scored readily in a handicap hurdle last time and appeals as the sort to make a better chaser, so he gets the nod over fellow chasing debutant Bobbi Gin Tree. Sea Road Fill is the better of the pair with chasing experience.

A course winner over hurdles, WARM IN GOREY has had plenty of runs over fences and he could make that experience count.

Unseated rider in handicap hurdle (11/1) at Ballinrobe (22f, good) 7 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Has to be taken seriously.

5th	5 5th (5) (14/1 -17%) Room To Roam	14 14/1(-17%)	(5) Room To Roam 14/1, Two wins from 49 NH runs. Bit below form fourth of 12 in handicap chase at Tramore (22f, good to soft, 14/1) 33 days ago. Won at Sligo a year ago off 102, ground and trip fine but may need help from the assessor.
6th	4 6th (4) (12/1 -200%) Reddys Island	12 12/1(-200%)	(4) Reddys Island 12/1, 4/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Galway (22.4f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Had excuses for latest effort and isn't easily discounted. Pulled up over hurdles on return from a break at Galway (clinically abnormal), needs rain.
7th	6 7th (6) (7/1 +7%) Eagle Terrace	7 7/1(+7%)	(6) Eagle Terrace 7/1, Respectable 13¾ lengths fifth of 11 to Hand Over Fist in handicap chase at Kilbeggan (24.9f, good to soft, 13/2) 41 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time over jumps. Not dismissed. Two-time winner on soft-heavy over fences, blinkers return, rain would enhance his chance.
2	2 \|F\| (2) (5/1 -122%) Hand Over Fist	5 5/1(-122%)	(2) Hand Over Fist 5/1, Promising sort. Fair winner at 24f over hurdles. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning 11-runner handicap chase at Kilbeggan (24.9f, good to soft, 12/1) 41 days ago, always holding on. Capable of following up. Up 8lb after beating in-form rival at Kilbeggan, cheekpieces retained, thereabouts again.
8	8 \|PU\| (8) (5/1 -25%) Woodie Wango	5 5/1(-25%)	(8) Woodie Wango 5/1, Fourth of 15 in handicap chase (10/1) at Ballinrobe (23.4f, good to soft) on debut over fences 7 days ago, faring best of those held up. One to consider. Promise in first handicap chase, trip and ground fine, interesting off the same mark here.

HAND OVER FIST really enjoyed a staying trip when successful for the first time over fences in Kilbeggan. The first-time cheekpieces that were deployed are retained for this assignment. He won twice over hurdles and there should be more to come in this discipline. Winding River didn't perform on his last visit here, but that was the first time he finished out of the first three on six visits to Downpatrick. He has competed in higher grades and has to be respected in first-time blinkers. Room To Roam has plenty of experience to call upon and knows how to pick up prize money. There is no doubt that Tullyveery Lad has the ability to get involved, but he has failed to complete the course in two of his last three races.

HAND OVER FIST reacted well to first-time cheekpieces when successful at Kilbeggan last time and, with the scope for better still, he gets the nod over Tullyveery Lad, who remains with potential in this sphere. Woodie Wango is also worthy of consideration.

Preference is for WOODIE WANGO. Trip and ground look ideal for him and he shaped very nicely off this mark on his handicap chase debut.

Second of 11 in bumper (evens) at Down Royal (16.9f, good) on NH debut 21 days ago, going in snatches. Should improve and is liable to take all the beating.

Dempsey when third of 15 in bumper (100/1) at Kilbeggan (20f, good to soft) on bumper debut 14 days ago. Vastly improved on stable debut in first-time tongue-tie when third in a Kilbeggan bumper.
5th	6 5th (6) (12/1 -100%) San Franco	12 12/1(-100%)	(6) San Franco 12/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. 11/1, fell in novice hurdle at Roscommon (15.4f, soft) on hurdles bow 45 days ago. Switches from hurdles to bumpers. First of two bumper runs was promising, booked for second when falling in a maiden hurdle.
6th	1 6th (1) (40/1 -100%) Monroes Hollow	40 40/1(-100%)	(1) Monroes Hollow 40/1, Twice-raced maiden. 9/2, eighth of 12 in bumper at Bellewstown (17.2f, good) 23 days ago. Galway festival debut was encouraging, possible excuses at Bellewstown when too keen.
7th	2 7th (2) (66/1 -560%) People Pleaser	66 66/1(-560%)	(2) People Pleaser 66/1, Once-raced maiden. 10/1, fifth of 12 in bumper at Kilbeggan (16f, good to soft) on NH debut 28 days ago. May do better. Made a satisfactory debut in fifth at Kilbeggan last month. longer trip should help.
8th	3 8th (3) (13/2 -44%) Lord Ffrench	6.5 13/2(-44%)	(3) Lord Ffrench 13/2, Twice-raced maiden. 13/2, fourth of 13 in bumper at Roscommon (15.4f, soft) 45 days ago. Likely to be on the premises. Promise on debut at Cork, suffered interference when again shaping well at Roscommon.
9th	7 9th (7) (200/1 -506%) Lea Lass	200 200/1(-506%)	(7) Lea Lass 200/1, Once-raced maiden. Eleventh of 15 in bumper (11/1) at Tramore (16.4f, good to soft) on NH debut 35 days ago. Dropped away from half a mile out on debut at Tramore five weeks ago, unlikely to feature.

DIPPEDINMOONLIGHT was a wide-margin winner of her point-to-point which saw her sold for six figures. The daughter of Zarak then found one too good in her first bumper at Down Royal. The horse that beat her there is highly thought of, so there was plenty of merit in that racecourse bow and she was well backed to deliver. Diamond Tipp is a more than credible opponent as she has finished second in her last couple of bumpers at Tramore and Bellewstown, while Sam Curling's Lord Ffrench has a chance in light of his debut third at Cork in July.

DIPPEDINMOONLIGHT showed inexperience when runner-up at Down Royal three weeks ago but there was enough encouragement to think he can get off the mark at the second attempt. Diamond Tipp improved on her latest outing and looks the main danger, although Low Expectations is an intereseting newcomer.

Runner-up to a good yardstick at Down Royal in her first bumper, point winner DIPPEDINMOONLIGHT is tipped to go one place better.

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.
