17:05 Downpatrick Maiden Hurdle 22f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

BIG STAGE started off the year by running fifth behind subsequent Champion Bumper hero Jasmin De Vaux at Naas and has acquitted himself well over hurdles since, finishing third at Punchestown before occupying the runner-up berth at Cork and back at Naas. He probably won't need to raise his game in order to take this lesser event, although Nouvotic has kept good company and Kalanisi Flash has performed with credit at this venue before. Give jumping newcomer Remember'hesmine plenty of thought too.

Likely to develop into a match between BIG STAGE and Nouvotic with the former's speed tiling the scales his way.

Providing he handles the quicker ground BIG STAGE (nap) looks the one to beat, the longer trip likely to suit

17:35 Downpatrick Handicap Hurdle 22f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

Kilbrin Rocco sprung a surprise here, on the same card that Son Of Hypnos struck over fences. The latter is 7lb lower than his revised chase mark, while Politicise is also 7lb below his rating in that sphere after just getting up over the bigger obstacles at Down Royal. C'EST QUELQU'UN is another out to capitalise on a comparatively lenient timber figure and although the wheels have come off since he shared the spoils here back in September, he is too well treated to ignore.

This looks a strong race for the grade with KILBRIN ROCCO fancied to build on his much-improved display over 19f here a fortnight ago and go in again. Son of Hypnos and Politicise arrive on the back of wins over fences and are just a couple of potential threats.

Recent chase winners Son Of Hypnos and Politicise demand respect but preference is for another returning chaser C'EST QUELQU'UN

18:10 Downpatrick Maiden Hurdle 19f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

Garde La Peche didn't look likely to ever repay the 170,000 pounds shelled out for her when down the field at Limerick over Christmas, but there was a lot more to like about her subsequent Naas third. GOING LIVE wasn't much cheaper, costing 150,000 pounds after winning between the flags at Lingstown. Gordon Elliott has given him some time to adjust to his new surroundings and that can pay dividends. Step Out will find this much easier than the Grade 2 bumper he contested at Aintree, and Gone For Tea shouldn't be far away either.

GOING LIVE changed hands for £150,000 after his point win and having transferred to the Gordon Elliott yard, hopes must be high that he'll make a successful hurdles debut. Garde la Peche and Gone For Tea look the main threats.

Gone For Tea sets the standard but may have to again settle for second behind points' winner GOING LIVE

18:45 Downpatrick Handicap Hurdle 18f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

Gordon Elliott and Danny Gilligan teamed up to win this race 12 months ago and that pair appear to have another big chance with DOCTOR NIGHTINGALE this time around. Although facing much better ground conditions than when opening her account on heavy at Limerick, she has run well on quick enough surfaces in the past and makes plenty of appeal on only her second handicap start. Whotookthebiscuit cuts back in trip after disappointing at Punchestown and it's worth noting that Rachael Blackmore rides her for the first time, while Redwood Queen and Magic Olinger are others to keep an eye on.

Gordon Elliott's DOCTOR NIGHTINGALE improved to win a juvenile last month and might be able to follow up back in handicap company. Get Down To It shaped better than the result on her Punchestown handicap debut and is second choice ahead of Magic Olinger, another who leaves the impression he's got bigger performances in him.

Very few appeal here so it could pay to side with recent Limerick maiden winner DOCTOR NIGHTINGALE back in handicap company

19:20 Downpatrick Handicap Chase 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

O'Faolains Glory and Seasett both make their chasing debuts following solid placed efforts over timber and they must enter calculations, but ERIGMOOR's previous fencing experience might prove the difference. He wasn't devoid of promise during his time with Stuart Edmunds in England and there was much to like about his opening effort for the Gordon Elliott stable when third at Tramore last month. Any improvement would make him tough to beat, while Flashthelights' latest third over hurdles here gives him a squeak.

ERIGMOOR made a positive start for the Gordon Elliott yard at Tramore recently and can build on that promise now. Seasett and O'Faolains Glory have been in good form over hurdles recently and may provide the main opposition if taking to this new discipline.

Having put in an improved chasing effort on debut for Gordon Elliott at Tramore, ERIGMOOR can take this with just a little improvement

19:55 Downpatrick Handicap Chase 24f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

Lady Kate showed a likeable attitude when scoring over an extended 2m7f at Tipperary last month and she should make a bold bid to follow up despite a 6lb rise. That said, TANGENTAL was an early faller when sent off a warm order in the aforementioned Tipperary contest and, providing he brushes up in the jumping department this time around, a big run could be on the cards. Faith Loving sports cheekpieces for the first time and an improved display would come as no surprise.

LADY KATE quickly got back on the up when off the mark at Tipperary and she can continue her positive start in handicaps. Welsh Saint is potentially on a handy mark if his latest run is taken at face value so is next best ahead of Tangental.

TANGENTAL remains well-handicapped in this sphere and can make amends for falling last time once his jumping holds up.

20:30 Downpatrick NH Flat Race 18f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

Point-to-point winner OCEAN BREW made a pleasing start when finishing runner-up on her Rules debut at Cork last month, and she gets the vote to go one place better with that experience under her belt. Ellen Kelly is making her debut for the all-conquering Willie Mullins stable and she commands attention, while Sansrisk has the ability to play a hand in a race of this nature and she completes the shortlist.

Point-winner OCEAN BREW shaped with promise when runner-up at Cork over Easter and looks up to winning one of these. Ellen Kelly is an obvious threat given her stable, while Wild Mandate was progressive in the early part of last season.

SANSRISK has run creditably in several bumpers and maiden hurdles, so could make the breakthrough today over this longer trip

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.
