14:00 Downpatrick Maiden Hurdle 22f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

TALK IN THE PARK had some useful form for Mags Mullins and was fourth in a valuable handicap at Navan in December. On his second outing for Ross O'Sullivan and after a three-month break, the six-year-old was runner-up in a competitive maiden at Ballinrobe and this looks a good opportunity at a venue where he was placed last year. Step Out was runner-up in a bumper at Ayr in March and has filled the same position in two starts over hurdles here. He is likely to contend again for his local yard. Ashlia Dancer was third over C&D on her penultimate start and returned from a 19-month layoff to finish a creditable second at Tramore.

TALK IN THE PARK isn't obviously capable of better but he ran right up to his best when second at Ballinrobe a fortnight ago and a repeat of that level may well suffice. Step Out is very likely to give his running again, with Backonthegoagain also of interest having won both starts in points.

The 114-rated TALK IN THE PARK has enough form to suggest that mark is fairly accurate and can step forward from his Ballinrobe second

14:32 Downpatrick Maiden Hurdle 19f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Runner-up in a Clonmel maiden in December, SIREKOFF may be good enough to land a weak contest. The Sholokhov gelding twice ran respectably last month, latterly in a Limerick claimer, and steps back up in trip. General Dynamics was a huge price when running well in a beginners' chase at Tipperary over a year ago. Now with a new yard, he would have a definite chance on that form, but has been off seven months. Aine's Lad has run respectably in both bumpers and is a half-brother to a useful hurdler/chaser in Britain. Divilskin had a fruitless spell with Paul Nicholls, but has regained the winning thread in point-to-points since rejoining his original trainer.

Although DIVILSKIN didn't take to hurdling for Paul Nicholls last autumn the fact he's won 2 points since joining Colin Bowe suggests that he could leave those previous hurdle efforts well behind now. Shark Hanlon's Sirekoff ran well in a claimer last time and may give the selection most to think about. Aine's Lad has hinted at ability in bumpers and could also figure if taking to hurdling.

The one to be on should be SIREKOFF, whose form would give him a chance in an ordinary maiden hurdle, let alone one of this quality

15:02 Downpatrick Handicap Hurdle 19f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

TIDEWAYS HERO beat geldings over this trip at Clonmel and is now 8lb higher and up in grade. She had been off for seven months prior to that breakthrough success and may be capable of further improvement. New Year Honours was in good form over hurdles last summer and chased home a smart horse on the all-weather in December. She had a spin in a charity race last month and may be able to resume progress in this discipline. One Night Standard shaped well in stronger maidens before easily justifying favouritism in a modest contest at Wexford. She has better ground and a shorter trip to deal with here, but could be on a fair mark for her handicap debut. Hidden Land has to make the shortlist given her liking for the track.

Last-time-out winners ONE NIGHT STANDARD and Tideways Hero are both open to further improvement for excellent yards, with minor preference for the former. Hidden Land is more exposed but is weighted to have a say.

The one to beat looks like TIDEWAYS HERO(nap) who might not be stopped by the 8lb penalty for her convincing win at Clonmel

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

MEDIA NARANJA made the frame in two handicaps last month, including a 24-runner contest at the Punchestown Festival, and there was little wrong with her latest run, which saw her chase home a well-treated stablemate in a conditions event at Killarney. The daughter of Yeats can resume winning ways. Run For Harry has improved for better ground this spring and got off the mark at Kilbeggan last month. He was game in front on that occasion and can contend again off a 5lb higher mark. Useful Flat performer Phoenix Cowboy performed well over a furlong further on handicap debut at Limerick. The mare who beat him went close next time and a 3lb rise doesn't look harsh.

MEDIA NARANJA has been going the right way in her 3 starts this season, beaten only by an already useful stablemate at Listowel on her latest outing, so she can continue her progress to get back to winning ways. Run For Harry opened his account at Kilbeggan last month and isn't taken lightly, with Phoenix Cowboy also in the mix.

A repeat of her Listowel run will make MEDIA NARANJA very hard to beat here despite giving weight all round

16:05 Downpatrick Maiden Hurdle 18f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Placed on handicap debut at Naas, RED GLORY went down by only a neck on good-ish ground at Tipperary last month and he may be able to go one better from a 3lb higher mark. Only A Dollar appreciated dropping back in trip when winning a 2m mares' maiden at Clonmel and was raised 7lb for that, while Rauzan got off the mark over half a mile further at Tramore and is also 7lb higher.

RED GLORY has improved with each start over hurdles, edged out only late in the day on the back of an 8-week break at Tipperary 32 days ago and, with further progress likely, he looks to hold sound claims of going one place better. Ossie's Lodge (fourth on the Flat at Fairyhouse on Friday) is shaping up well and he's a threat if lining up here. Seasett can do best of the remainder.

The one to beat is OSSIE'S LODGE who has come back in good form in the spring and has a race like this in him

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

The Paul Flynn-trained RIGHTFOLKSPLEASE can recover losses here having been a beaten favourite at Roscommon earlier in the week. Runner-up on that occasion, the six-year-old filled the same position on his penultimate start at Wexford and having done little wrong in either run, he can register a first career success. La Hacienda looks absolutely thrown in off a hurdles mark of 89, given that she is rated 1lb higher on the Flat. However, having failed to beat a single rival in two outings on the level since returning from a break, the Matthew Smith-trained mare has questions to answer. Another Bonnie holds claims if fit enough on her first start since last June.

RIGHTFOLKSPLEASE didn't entirely convince with his finishing effort but his latest second at Roscommon 6 days ago highlighted he's well up to defying this sort of mark and he could be the way to go. Handicap debutante Reel Her In, La Hacienda and Across The Ocean are others to consider, with the returning Another Bonnie also worth a second look on handicap bow.

Plenty will give Rightfolksplease another chance but stablemate LUCKY POLICY has hinted at ability and makes appeal at bigger odds

17:05 Downpatrick NH Flat Race 18f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Despite suffering an odds-on reversal on her racecourse debut, the Willie Mullins-trained SI SE PUEDE looks the one to beat. A full-sister to El Fabiolo, the five-year-old was beaten half a length at Tramore last month. However, with the winner going on to finish second in a winners' race next time, that form may not have been too bad. Gers Gigi has been placed on both starts to date, including behind a subsequent winner at Ballinrobe last time. The Gordon Elliott-trained mare will make the likely favourite work hard at the very least. Tramore third Broomfield Gale should be capable of getting involved for minor honours.

SI SE PUEDE failed to justify very short odds at Tramore on debut but she still shaped well and should make no mistake at the second attempt. Gers Gigi is the obvious danger and Broomfield Gale has solid place claims.

In all likelihood a match and GERS GIGI, who has shown solid form in competitive contests at Ballinrobe, is preferred to Si Se Puede

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.
