14:15 Downpatrick Maiden Hurdle 17f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	2 1st (2) (5/6 +79%) Impero	0.833333 5/6(+79%)	(2) Impero 5/6, 11/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time in this code, fared better than previously over hurdles on first run since leaving Michael G. Cleary when good second of 15 in handicap at Listowel (18f, soft) 16 days ago. Every chance of going one better. Will find this company easier and must be respected; handles any ground.
2	10 2nd (10) (5/1 -43%) Whispering Hopes	5 5/1(-43%)	(10) Whispering Hopes 5/1, Fair maiden on the Flat. 40/1, made an encouraging start to life over hurdles when fourth of 18 in maiden at Gowran (16f, good to soft) last week. 1 of 2 for the yard and should go close. Half-sister to 2m hurdle winner and caught the eye on her hurdling debut at Gowran; player.
3	6 3rd (6) (2/1 -33%) In The Trenches	2 2/1(-33%)	(6) In The Trenches 2/1, Remained in form when third of 16 in maiden hurdle (13/8) at Roscommon (15.6f, soft) 11 days ago, doing too much too soon. Now 0-11 over hurdles and beaten favourite on 5 of his last 7 starts but he's a strong contender all the same. Beaten fav five times; looks sure to run his race again but he's risky for win purposes.
4	8 4th (8) (80/1 -60%) Ravelli	80 80/1(-60%)	(8) Ravelli 80/1, Showed a bit in a Flat maiden for G. M. Lyons but was well held sent hurdling after 14 months off at Downpatrick in August. Well held back on the level since and can only be watched. Struggled here on his hurdling debut; well beaten back on the Flat at Navan last month.
5th	4 5th (4) (50/1 -52%) Hangry	50 50/1(-52%)	(4) Hangry 50/1, Fair maiden on the Flat up to 13f but got no further than the first on hurdling bow after 5 months off at Gowran (16f, good to soft) last week. Unseated his rider at the first on his hurdling debut at Gowran last week; best watched.
6th	5 6th (5) (18/1 -50%) Hijo De La Luna	18 18/1(-50%)	(5) Hijo De La Luna 18/1, 15/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, third of 11 in handicap at Down Royal (7.1f, soft) 11 days ago. Went with little promise sent hurdling on penultimate start so best watched. Now 0-15 on the Flat; made little impact on sole hurdling start here last month.
7th	7 7th (7) (150/1 -200%) Purrrfect Timing	150 150/1(-200%)	(7) Purrrfect Timing 150/1, Well held in 3 maiden events on Flat. Best watched on hurdles bow. Impossible to recommend on his hurdling debut on what he's shown to date.

BOSTON BEACH displayed improvement last month and is less exposed than his main rivals. Out of a Listed-placed dam, he was beaten long distances on his initial two hurdle runs, but showed more last time. In The Trenches can run well but has been a beaten favourite on his last four starts and was soundly beaten at Roscommon recently. Impero achieved a Flat rating of 84 last year and ran well on handicap hurdle debut at Listowel last month.

IMPERO fared better than previously over hurdles on first start for this yard when runner-up at Listowel last month and provided the cheekpieces have the same effect second time, Cian Collins' 5-y-o gets the nod at the expense of In The Trenches, who has been a beaten favourite on 5 of his last 7 starts but remains a strong contender. Gordon Elliott's pair Whispering Hopes and Boston Beach can fight out third.

WHISPERING HOPES made eyecatching late headway when fourth at Gowran on her hurdling debut and should come on for it

14:15 Downpatrick Maiden Hurdle 17f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:50 Downpatrick Handicap Hurdle 17f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (7/2 -338%) Hey Sunshine	3.5 7/2(-338%)	(1) Hey Sunshine 7/2, Promising sort. Won 14-runner maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan (16f, good to soft, 11/4) on hurdles bow 35 days ago, staying on well. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Solid claims with further progress likely. Strong at the finish on Kilbeggan hurdles debut win; longer trip here likely to suit.
2	4 2nd (4) (10/11 +67%) Tell Nobody Nothin	0.909091 10/11(+67%)	(4) Tell Nobody Nothin 10/11, Twice-raced winner over hurdles. Won 10-runner maiden at this course (17.8f, good to soft) 21 days ago, going clear. Makes handicap hurdle debut. May well do better. Recent C&D maiden winner with likely more to offer with more fluent jumping; player.
3	2 3rd (2) (5/1 +29%) Disco Dancer	5 5/1(+29%)	(2) Disco Dancer 5/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Below-form fourth of 5 in novice hurdle at Listowel (20f, soft, 10/1) 13 days ago. Bounce back needed. Not a great strike-rate hurdling; vulnerable back in a handicap.
4	3 4th (3) (8/1 -14%) Tell Me This	8 8/1(-14%)	(3) Tell Me This 8/1, Winner in hurdle at Ballinrobe in August. Eleventh of 16 in handicap hurdle (11/2) at Ballinrobe (22f, good) 28 days ago. Down in trip. Has work to do. Didn't appear to stay 2m6f on latest; back in trip and not one to rule out on handicap bow.
5th	5 5th (5) (14/1 +44%) Mercury Mission	14 14/1(+44%)	(5) Mercury Mission 14/1, 11/1, thirteenth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (20.4f, good) 85 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Michael John O'Connor. Recent form not encouraging but recent change of yard could spark a revival.
6	6 \|U\| (6) (16/1 +20%) Rockview Roman	16 16/1(+20%)	(6) Rockview Roman 16/1, Last of 15 in Flat handicap at Galway (12f, good, 16/1) 31 days ago but had been in reasonable form over hurdles prior to that. 0-7 hurdling; drop back in trip could suit and cheekpieces now tried.

HEY SUNSHINE carries topweight but won well on her recent hurdles debut. While the form of that Kilbeggan win is not outstanding, she won readily and should be competitive from her initial handicap rating. Tell Nobody Nothin won over C&D last month but faces a slightly stiffer task now. Disco Dancer holds Tell Me This on their prior meeting at this course over a similar distance in June, although each appears to be in the handicapper's grip.

There should be more to come from last month's Kilbeggan maiden winner HEY SUNSHINE, who can make a successful handicap debut at the expense of recent course scorer Tell Nobody Nothin.

Although needing to be more fluent, recent C&D maiden winner TELL NOBODY NOTHIN can follow up here

14:50 Downpatrick Handicap Hurdle 17f PREDICTION SIMULATION

15:20 Downpatrick Handicap Hurdle 17f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (9/4 -29%) Portnacoo	2.25 9/4(-29%)	(1) Portnacoo 9/4, Upwardly mobile from a low base in recent weeks, following up his victory over 22f here with another comfortable success over 17.8f back here 3 weeks ago. Of interest again in hat-trick bid despite career-high mark to contend with. Ran out a comfortable winner over C&D last month; has another 9lb rise but he's thriving.
2	2 2nd (2) (9/1 -170%) Breagagh	9 9/1(-170%)	(2) Breagagh 9/1, Remains a maiden after 20 NH runs but he was a good second when last seen in this sphere at Wexford (17.2f) in May. Entitled to be sharper for a spin on the Flat at Navan (14f) in August and he's fancied to be thereabouts. Beaten a neck when 2nd on last hurdles start at Wexford in May; should be thereabouts.
3	6 3rd (6) (50/1 +0%) Nakassama	50 50/1(+0%)	(6) Nakassama 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 33/1, thirteenth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Roscommon (15.6f, soft) 11 days ago, tailed off before 4 out. Others arrive with much more pressing claims. Tailed off in handicaps at Perth and Roscommon lately; hard to fancy at the moment.
4	8 4th (8) (13/2 +54%) Fire Coral	6.5 13/2(+54%)	(8) Fire Coral 13/2, Below form eighth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Roscommon (20.3f, soft, 17/2) 11 days ago, weakening when headed approaching 3 out. Drop in trip could help but others hold more compelling claims. Dual-purpose maiden has run well in handicaps of late before disappointing at Roscommon.
5th	3 5th (3) (7/2 +42%) Sandyman	3.5 7/2(+42%)	(3) Sandyman 7/2, Back on track with a tongue strap refitted when respectable fifth of 14 in handicap hurdle (9/1) at Gowran (16f, good to soft) 7 days ago. Has caught the eye on occasions in this sphere and one to note, particularly if strong in the betting. Strong in the betting when a beaten favourite over C&D in August and September; respected.
6th	7 6th (7) (5/1 +64%) Chancer Dancer	5 5/1(+64%)	(7) Chancer Dancer 5/1, Remains a maiden after 16 NH runs. Blinkered for 1st time, below form seventh of 12 in handicap hurdle (5/1) at Fairyhouse (16f, good) 4 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Good run over 2m when fourth at Perth last month but failed to back that up at Fairyhouse.
7th	4 7th (4) (15/2 -114%) Three Platoon	7.5 15/2(-114%)	(4) Three Platoon 15/2, Showed ability over hurdles in 2022 and he comes here in rude health from the Flat, comfortably landing back-to-back Newcastle handicaps (10.2f) in recent weeks. Intriguing contender from the Rebecca Menzies yard. Visor replaces blinkers. 0-5 over hurdles and all three career wins have been on the AW; in good form, though.

Hat-trick chasing PORTACOO has shown much improved form in recent months and can defy his latest 9lb penalty. He showed promise on debut for his current trainer at Sligo in August and having won twice at today's course since, is clearly well suited by a sound surface and these surroundings. English runner Three Platoon has won his last two Flat starts and while he returns to hurdling with a lowly rating of 90, hasn't run in a National Hunt race since a failed steeplechase attempt in September 2023. Sandyman has been running satisfactorily enough recently while 48-race maiden Breagagh was narrowly touched off at Wexford in May and should improve following a recent Flat run.

PORTNACOO arrives here on an upward curve following back-to-back course handicaps in recent months and he's narrowly selected to defy the handicapper again and complete the hat-trick. Sandyman leaves the impression he has a bigger effort in his locker and is feared, along with Reebecca Menzies' Three Platoon, who returns to hurdling following a successful stint on the Flat of late.

PORTNACOO has gone up 18lb since August. He's going to have to improve again but can bring up the hat-trick under Darragh O'Keeffe

15:20 Downpatrick Handicap Hurdle 17f PREDICTION SIMULATION

15:55 Downpatrick Maiden Hurdle 22f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	4 1st (4) (2/5 +20%) Prends Garde A Toi	0.4 2/5(+20%)	(4) Prends Garde A Toi 2/5, Twice-raced maiden. Fourth of 12 in bumper (6/1) at Leopardstown (16f, good to soft). Off 9 months. Makes hurdles debut. Significantly up in trip. Player for top yard. Bumper second looks as though this sort of stamina test will suit; likely major player.
2	1 2nd (1) (5/1 +64%) Augusta George	5 5/1(+64%)	(1) Augusta George 5/1, Winner in bumper here in August. Eighth of 16 in novice hurdle (16/1) at Kilbeggan (19f, good to soft) 35 days ago. Won bumper here but fair bit to find on hurdling evidence so far.
3	6 3rd (6) (13/2 -44%) Marie's March	6.5 13/2(-44%)	(6) Marie's March 13/2, Promising type. Fifth of 14 in novice hurdle (25/1) at Kilbeggan (16f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 35 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Big shout. Jumped slowly at Kilbeggan; represents top yard so has to be respected.
4	2 4th (2) (125/1 -25%) Fellowshall	125 125/1(-25%)	(2) Fellowshall 125/1, Twice-raced maiden. 125/1, unseated rider 2nd in novice hurdle at this C&D (good) 154 days ago. Hooded for 1st time. Early casualty both starts; hooded now but hard to have any confidence in.
5th	5 5th (5) (28/1 +15%) Zillionaire	28 28/1(+15%)	(5) Zillionaire 28/1, Once-raced maiden. Seventh of 15 in bumper (16/1) at Kilbeggan (20f, good to soft) on NH debut 35 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Too keen and paid the price on recent bumper debut; switches to hurdles and best watched.

Gigginstown haven't enjoyed any luck with their very recent maiden hurdlers but PRENDS GARDE A TOI might rectify than, in a weak race. Point-to-point-placed before selling for E155,000, he chased home a subsequent triple bumper winner in November and again ran well in a St Stephen's Day bumper, when last seen. He should improve from today's run but nonetheless won't need to be at his best to win. English runner My Friend Yeats ran well at Cartmel in July, when conceding 7lb to the currently 110-rated winner but disappointed at Sedgefield 10 days ago. Well-bred Marie's March represents Willie Mullins but showed previous little at Kilbeggan while Augusta George won an ordinary August course bumper but disappointed recently.

MARIE'S MARCH is fancied to build on her Kilbeggan debut fifth now stepping up in trip so gets the vote from Gordon Elliott's newcomer Prends Garde A Toi who showed some fairly useful form in bumpers. My Friend Yeats also has the form to have a say.

A weak-looking maiden in which PRENDS GARDE A TOI (nap) could be hard to beat if avoiding serious error on hurdles debut

15:55 Downpatrick Maiden Hurdle 22f PREDICTION SIMULATION

16:30 Downpatrick Handicap Hurdle 22f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	9 1st (9) (16/1 -113%) Jimli's Cave	16 16/1(-113%)	(9) Jimli's Cave 16/1, Respectable seventh of 19 in handicap hurdle (12/1) at Down Royal (24f, good) 42 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Has a chance if near his best but he might find this trip on the sharp side; blinkers.
2	5 2nd (5) (11/2 -57%) Mrs Biddle	5.5 11/2(-57%)	(5) Mrs Biddle 11/2, Good third of 16 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (21.4f, good, 9/1) 23 days ago. Expected to be bang there. Third at Tramore last month; another bold show likely; she wouldn't want rain.
3	13 3rd (13) (5/1 -67%) You Some Girl	5 5/1(-67%)	(13) You Some Girl 5/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Creditable third of 7 in handicap hurdle at Hexham (20.1f, good, 5/2) 7 days ago. Merits consideration. Good effort from 4lb out of the weights when third at Hexham; intriguing British raider.
4	4 4th (4) (12/1 +0%) Il Silenzio	12 12/1(+0%)	(4) Il Silenzio 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 11/1 and tongue strap/cheekpieces on for 1st time, good seventh of 17 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (19.4f, good) 125 days ago. More is needed here though. Mild encouragement in first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces on his seasonal debut in June.
5th	2 5th (2) (8/1 +43%) Gaye Winnie	8 8/1(+43%)	(2) Gaye Winnie 8/1, Course winner. 17/2, pulled up in handicap hurdle at this C&D (good) 61 days ago, tailing off some way out. Can make presence felt if back on her A-game. Wasn't without support when pulled up over C&D in August; plenty to prove after that.
6th	6 6th (6) (8/1 +20%) Bishbashbosh	8 8/1(+20%)	(6) Bishbashbosh 8/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Third of 8 in novice hurdle at Down Royal (16.9f, good, 33/1) 42 days ago. Up in trip. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Open to improvement. Fascinating runner making her handicap debut up in trip with Darragh O'Keeffe booked.
7th	11 7th (11) (7/1 +13%) Georgia Celena	7 7/1(+13%)	(11) Georgia Celena 7/1, 6/1, creditable fifth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (24f, good to soft) 63 days ago. In the picture. Improved since sent handicapping on better ground; lightly raced and enters the reckoning.
8th	7 8th (7) (7/1 +0%) Fassbender	7 7/1(+0%)	(7) Fassbender 7/1, C&D winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. Creditable third of 15 in handicap hurdle (20/1) at Roscommon (20.3f, soft) 11 days ago. Needs considering. Record of 2-39 over hurdles, both wins at this track; 15lb below last winning mark; claims.
9th	10 9th (10) (80/1 -60%) Renard De Noir	80 80/1(-60%)	(10) Renard De Noir 80/1, Below form tenth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Roscommon (15.6f, soft, 100/1) 11 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Tough to assess at present. Beaten out of sight in three starts for new yard; can only be watched for now.
1	1 \|F\| (1) (11/2 +54%) Schiehallion	5.5 11/2(+54%)	(1) Schiehallion 11/2, Respectable seventh of 14 in novice hurdle (9/1) at Tramore (21.4f, good) 23 days ago. Others more persuasive. Pulled up at Wexford in July and poor in a Tramore maiden hurdle latest; best watched.
10th	3 10th (3) (16/1 -100%) Cullenwaine	16 16/1(-100%)	(3) Cullenwaine 16/1, C&D winner. Winner in hurdle here in June. Tenth of 11 in handicap chase (4/1) at Sligo (21.1f, good) 9 days ago, going in snatches. Switches from chase to hurdles. Blinkers on 1st time. Return to hurdling could suit; first-time blinkers and goes on any ground; respected.
12	12 \|PU\| (12) (50/1 +0%) Getaway Erin	50 50/1(+0%)	(12) Getaway Erin 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 80/1, thirteenth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (22f, soft) 180 days ago. Didn't jump well when well beaten on handicap debut and no better at Down Royal; avoid.

MRS BIDDLE is an 11-race maiden but has been running well in handicaps recently and should again compete from her rating. She finished second over today's course-and-distance in July – when beating Georgia Celena and Cullenwaine into fourth and fifth respectively, and again showed nice ability in finishing third at Tramore last month. Cullenwaine was himself a C&D winner in June and while he has disappointed over fences recently, reverts to hurdling wearing first-time blinkers, which could help. Dual course winner Fassbender hasn't scored since July 2022 but ran well at Roscommon 11 days ago while You Some Girl has been running satisfactorily in similar British races and has a light weight.

A few with chances but MRS BIDDLE looks the way to go here on the back of her good Tramore third. Bishbashbosh appeals as a likely improver now going handicapping so is next on the list ahead of Fassbender and Georgia Celena.

BISHBASHBOSH wasn't given a hard time when a never-nearer third behind Yokkell at Down Royal in August and she's a fascinating runner

16:30 Downpatrick Handicap Hurdle 22f PREDICTION SIMULATION

17:05 Downpatrick Maiden Chase 20f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	2 1st (2) (11/4 +21%) Boomslang	2.75 11/4(+21%)	(2) Boomslang 11/4, Fair hurdler. Winner at Cartmel in June. 13/2, good second of 7 in handicap hurdle at Sedgefield (19.8f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Much respected on his chase debut. Runner-up over 2m4f at Sedgefield this month; player if he takes to chasing.
2	1 2nd (1) (13/2 +35%) Andys Flame	6.5 13/2(+35%)	(1) Andys Flame 13/2, Fair hurdler. 3/1, below form fourth of 9 in handicap hurdle at this course (21.8f, good) 46 days ago. Makes chase debut. Possibilities. Tame efforts over hurdles since return in July; switch to chasing needs to spark a revival.
3	9 3rd (9) (11/2 -38%) Hardy Diamond	5.5 11/2(-38%)	(9) Hardy Diamond 11/2, Fair winner at 19f over hurdles. 28/1, good seventh of 18 in handicap hurdle at Gowran (20.2f, good to soft) 7 days ago. Likely player on her first go over fences now. Wasn't disgraced on handicap debut at Gowran; potential improver sent chasing.
4	7 4th (7) (4/1 +47%) Mister Wilson	4 4/1(+47%)	(7) Mister Wilson 4/1, Fair chaser. Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 12/1, creditable third of 8 in claiming hurdle at Clonmel (19.9f, good) 8 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. The form pick. 0-9 over fences but placed four times; his experience over fences should count for a lot.
5th	10 5th (10) (13/2 -86%) Red Ball Of Fire	6.5 13/2(-86%)	(10) Red Ball Of Fire 13/2, Fairly useful winner at 18f over hurdles. Fair fifth of 8 in handicap chase at Sligo (17.6f, good, 11/1) 9 days ago. Enters calculations. Close fourth behind Prairie Dancer over C&D in August; each-way contender.
6th	6 6th (6) (40/1 -100%) Mephisto	40 40/1(-100%)	(6) Mephisto 40/1, Modest hurdler. Fair winner at 16f on flat. 40/1, well held when fell 2 out in novice chase at Sligo (21.1f, good) on debut over fences 9 days ago. Fell on chasing bow at Sligo this month; plenty to find with some these on hurdle ratings.
7th	3 7th (3) (28/1 -75%) Eco Pete	28 28/1(-75%)	(3) Eco Pete 28/1, Fair hurdler. Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. Last of 11 in novice chase (22/1) at this course (17.8f, good to soft) on debut over fences 21 days ago. Tailed off last on chasing debut here over 2m2f last month; difficult to fancy.
8th	8 8th (8) (9/1 -13%) Poets Cottage	9 9/1(-13%)	(8) Poets Cottage 9/1, Fair hurdler. 7/1, below form fifth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Listowel (16f, soft) 15 days ago. Makes chase debut. Back up in trip. Looks up against it on his chasing debut and would want soft conditions.
9th	5 9th (5) (8/1 +0%) High City Roller	8 8/1(+0%)	(5) High City Roller 8/1, Fair hurdler. 7/1, fourth of 7 in novice hurdle at Clonmel (19.9f, good) 8 days ago. Makes chase debut. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. No forlorn hope. Remote fourth at Clonmel last week; cheekpieces added to tongue-tie on his chasing debut.
4	4 \|F\| (4) (16/1 -33%) Gino Drummer Boy	16 16/1(-33%)	(4) Gino Drummer Boy 16/1, Fair hurdler. Respectable fourth of 8 in claiming hurdle at Clonmel (19.9f, good, 6/1) 8 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Remains a maiden after 19 NH runs. Modest run at Clonmel last week; needs to find more on his chasing debut.

RED BALL OF FIRE hasn't won since July 2023 but has been running well and is ideally suited by race conditions. A Sligo regular, she now drops in class having run well in two recent chases and - notably, possesses the top allowed hurdles' rating of 109 while her 7lb mares' allowance is allied to her rider's 5lb claim. Kilbeggan maiden hurdle winner Hardy Diamomd also has a mares' allowance and having run reasonably well over hurdles at Gowran last week, should compete on chase debut, as she has prior point-to-point experience. Mister Wilson is flattered by his 116 chase rating and was soundly beaten in a recent claiming hurdle. English runner Boomslang has recent form but debuts over fences.

HARDY DIAMOND has some fair form over hurdles to her name and is taken to make a winning start in this sphere for her top yard. Mister Wilson rates the pick of those with chasing experience and is next on the list ahead of Red Ball of Fire and Boomslang.

One horse who won't lack chasing experience is MISTER WILSON and that should give him the edge over his rivals

17:05 Downpatrick Maiden Chase 20f PREDICTION SIMULATION

17:35 Downpatrick Handicap Chase 24f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	6 1st (6) (4/1 +43%) Edgewell	4 4/1(+43%)	(6) Edgewell 4/1, Promising sort. 9/1 and visored for 1st time, shaped better than the result when sixth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Kelso (18.1f, good) 23 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Cheekpieces back on. Likely to improve over fences. Hasn't shown significant improvement in handicap chases on good ground this year.
2	1 2nd (1) (9/2 -13%) Mullaghmore Wave	4.5 9/2(-13%)	(1) Mullaghmore Wave 9/2, Third of 9 in handicap chase (12/1) at this course (23.5f, good to soft) 21 days ago, clear of rest. Should give it a good go from the same mark. Much better effort when third over C&D last month, doing best work at the finish.
3	8 3rd (8) (11/1 +21%) Rudy Catrail	11 11/1(+21%)	(8) Rudy Catrail 11/1, Sixth of 11 in handicap chase (10/1) at Tramore (22.8f, good) 23 days ago. Front-runner blazed a trail when trying to make all at Tramore but he folded late.

GREENWAY MACHINE continues to defy his 12 years with consistently useful performances and might follow up last year's success in this race. Ideally suited by conditions, he has recently run well in his two Tramore handicap chases and having finished ahead of today's rivals Ocodango Boy (which finished fourth), Rudy Catrail (sixth) in September, is today reunited with a 7lb claimer who lightens his load. Ocodango Boy was himself an unlucky course-and-distance loser in June when exiting at the second-last fence and while he has been slightly frustrating, is nonetheless dependable in the grade. Edgewell represents the English-based race sponsors and while his recent form is uninspiring, he steps up to his longest-distance race to date, which could help.

EDGEWELL has been shaping up quite well in British handicaps and representing the race sponsors, a very bold bid seems forthcoming. Agirlcalledchloe and Mullaghmore Wave are a couple of potential threats.

GREENWAY MACHINE won this race last year and the in-form 12yo could be hard to stop in his tracks again at the weights
