14:40 Downpatrick Maiden Hurdle 18f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

An each-way chance is taken on newcomer ME WEE BONNIE LASS. Gavin Cromwell's stable is firing in plenty of winners and this four-year-old filly is a half-sister to a very smart hunter chaser. Any market moves for her would be significant as the form of her rivals isn't insurmountable. Gordon Elliott runs two, with Jack Kennedy partnering Gaye Winnie. This Walk In The Park mare has finished sixth in a pair of big-field maidens at Punchestown and Fairyhouse. She is returning off a break at a track Elliott does ever so well at. Mote Park didn't cut much ice in two bumpers, but Willie Mullins sends her over hurdles on her return to action and she is likely to do much better. Spice Diva won a point-to-point in April and is another to consider on track debut.

Those with previous hurdles experience don't set a tall standard and it may pay to take a chance on MOTE PARK. She offered something on the first of her 2 starts in bumpers during the second half of last year and it would come as no surprise to see her make an impact now her attentions switch to hurdling. Gaye Winnie and Sea Aster head the dangers, with Spice Diva also worth a second look.

A chance is taken on Gordon Elliott's GAYE WINNIE, who showed some promise in stronger maidens last winter

15:15 Downpatrick Maiden Hurdle 18f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

NOW IS THE HOUR has skipped recent engagements at Down Royal and Bellewstown, but remains of interest. He won his sole point-to-point by a whopping 30 lengths in January and has switched to Gavin Cromwell for his track career. The Folkes Tiara is proving expensive for punters having been a beaten favourite on his last four starts over hurdles. A third place in a Grade B handicap chase at Punchestown in April stands out, though, and there should be one of these in him. Gino Drummer Boy came from a long way back for a never-dangerous fourth in Kilbeggan. He is likely to be a contender. Irish Envoy and Colonel Bellew are in the mix for prize money.

THE FOLKES TIARA has proved consistent over both fences and hurdles and can gain a deserved first success here. Irish Envoy is feared most of those with experience whilst Now Is The Hour looks the pick of the newcomers.

Although a beaten favourite several times in maidens it could pay to persist with THE FOLKES TIARA (nap) in an ordinary maiden

C'EST QUELQU'UN can make an impact on his first start for Gordon Elliott. His form was hit-or-miss in Britain, but he was good enough to win a handicap hurdle and a handicap chase there. He doesn't look harshly treated on a mark of 92 for this contest and Elliott often does well with recruits from Britain. Sovereign Duke is back to the sort of trip he finished a close second over at Tipperary in May and should be involved. Clear The Clouds has been running over further but certainly has form which gives him a chance, while Ask The Leader has won three handicap hurdles at this track, which entitles her to respect.

CHANCER DANCER should benefit from this drop back in trip judged on her fading Uttoxeter sixth last time out and can capitalise on a handy-looking mark now at the chief expense of unexposed pair Millies Dream and Thornleigh Frank who look to have better days ahead of them.

No outstanding candidate and a chance is taken on the reappearing KELLIE'S DREAM from the in-form Andy Slattery yard

Perhaps a further step up in trip can see FOXFIRE GLOW make the breakthrough. The five-year-old was a beaten favourite in third on his last outing here, but that represented his best performance to date when upped in trip to an extended 2m2f. He now gets to tackle an extended 2m5f. There won't be any stamina issues for Scorsese, who makes his track debut after landing a point-to-point in March. Howaya C D And E has been placed five times over hurdles and is well in the hunt for more prize money. Another Nightmare and Kalko Blue could be best of the remainder.

HOWAYA C D AND E should prove well suited by this return to further having taken second late on over 2m3f here last time and she can edge out Foxfire Glow, who holds the edge on form but wasn't at his very best when runner-up here last month. Hurdling newcomer Scorsese brings winning point form and needs considering too.

Another ordinary maiden in which FOXFIRE GLOW sets the standard, albeit on form over shorter trips

A competitive rated novice hurdle. Gordon Elliott's GORTMILLISH had notable form behind very useful horses in a bumper and a maiden hurdle before hacking up by 12 lengths in a Perth maiden hurdle last month. He is taken to enjoy this step up in trip. Charlie Luciano isn't easily passed over. He has won his last three hurdle races, including on his penultimate start at this track. He was tough in winning at Bellewstown on Saturday and is definitely a player if fresh enough after that run. He is also tackling this trip for the first time. Elliott's Stuzzikini was beaten a fair way into second over an extended 3m at Kilbeggan and could appreciate this distance. Lady Of The Vale and Lisnamult Lad cannot be ruled out either.

GORTMILLISH should have more to offer now stepping up in trip and is narrowly preferred to Andrew Slattery's Lady of The Vale, who has done very well in recent months. The selection's stablemate Stuzzikini and last week's Bellewstown scorer Charlie Luciano are others unlikely to be far away.

With Jack Kennedy aboard, GORTMILLISH looks the Elliott number one and this point' winner can improve from his comeback win.

NUTTORRIDGE made up plenty of ground in the latter stages over a similar trip at this track in June to finish fourth. He enjoys the undulations in Downpatrick, having won over hurdles and fences at this venue. His trainer Mark McNiff is beginning to hit form, with two winners in the last week. Winnie Woodnutt was a ready winner when last seen over hurdles at Kilbeggan in April. She has been performing very consistently for some time now. Ceanndana has been placed in three of his last six hurdle races, which gives him a shot. Cool Croi and Silverstrand represent powerful stables and will be eyeing a cheque.

NUTTORRIDGE made an encouraging return from 8 months off when fourth here last month and is given a chance to build on that promise. Winnie Woodnutt followed her win over hurdles this spring with a chase second from this mark at Limerick and is second choice ahead of Ceanndana and Gordon Elliott's Cool Croi.

With the forecast Good ground in his favour, CEANNDANA should be able to build upon his Sligo return and get off the mark.

AIR DROP was no match for a wide-margin winner of a bumper at this track last month, but could get her turn now. Her trainer Gordon Elliott has a good record in this race. New Sheriff and Fathom Two finished second and third respectively in another bumper at this track. They were both beaten fair distances, but New Sheriff was 14 lengths in front of Fathom Two. John McConnell's Ballerina Boxer attracted plenty of support for her first bumper in Thurles, but finished 10th. She is likely to do much better here. McConnell and Alex Harvey teamed up with a winner in Bellewstown on Saturday.

AIR DROP matched the form of her hurdling debut effort when runner-up in a bumper here 25 days ago and with the likelihood of better to come, she can come out on top. New Sheriff rates the chief danger.

Both New Sheriff and AIR DROP have shown similar levels of form. Preference is for the latter, receiving the 7lb mares' allowance.

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.
