13:55 Downpatrick Maiden Hurdle 18f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

There was definite promise in CLONGOREY's keeping-on fourth on debut in a fillies' maiden hurdle at Wexford just under three weeks ago. The runner-up in that contest has since been good enough to land a maiden hurdle in Tramore. In The Trenches is proving expensive to follow in being placed in his last five races over flights. There should be one of these in him, though. Chart Topper is sent hurdling by Willie Mullins after a couple of third places in bumpers and could get in the mix. John McConnell's Ravelli is a recruit from the Flat that is well worth a market check, while his stablemate Our Shane has been doing well in point-to-points.

CHART TOPPER has run to a fairly useful level in bumpers and could be number 1 on his hurdles debut. The consistent In The Trenches might have to settle for another placing, while Clongorey can improve on her Wexford debut fourth.

With a record of four seconds from eight hurdle starts, IN THE TRENCHES is potentially vulnerable but this is a good opportunity

14:30 Downpatrick Handicap Hurdle 18f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

ST DENIS'S WELL reverts back to hurdling on a mark some 29lb lower than his chase rating. He actually won in a higher grade over flights at Navan last November, so has prospects. Ragmans Corner was all the rage in the market for a handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe this month and was just caught close home. He is up 3lb, but remains in the same 80-95 grade, so is likely to be popular with punters again. Mr Sundancer showed marked improvement for third in Wexford and is another gunning for a cheque. A mistake at the last did Sandyman no favours over C&D this month. His challenge soon petered out, but a better result could be forthcoming.

SANDYMAN shaped much better than the bare result on just his second start in handicaps when fifth over C&D 2 weeks ago, upsides when bad mistake last. Remaining open to improvement, he gets the nod to confirm the promise of that run. There is strength in opposition though, with Ragmans Corner and St Denis's Well others fancied to be firmly in the mix.

Winner of three races over fences, ST DENIS'S WELL gets the vote off a mark 29lb below his chase mark

15:05 Downpatrick Maiden Hurdle 22f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

This looks a good opportunity for INTENSE APPROACH to make the breakthrough over hurdles. He has two bumpers banked, but has accumulated unwanted letters beside his name when falling in Wexford and Bellewstown and being pulled up at Kelso. He took a big step forward in this discipline, though, when second over C&D this month. Stormbreaker is the potential fly in the ointment. James Fanshawe saddled him to win twice on the Flat in Britain and he wasn't unbacked on his debut for Willie Mullins on the level in Galway. He was unplaced and is swiftly sent over hurdles, and will know his job. Jeu De Pic and Eco Pete have both shown enough to have a say here.

INTENSE APPROACH ran well on his first completed start over hurdles in a C&D novice 2 weeks ago and with the likelihood of more to come, he's of interest in his bid to go one place better. Hurdles debutant Stormbreaker needs considering for the powerful Willie Mullins' yard. Eco Pete can do best of the remainder.

Stormbreaker will be popular but INTENSE APPROACH is preferred after running his best race yet over hurdles here last time.

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

TANKARDSTOWN DIVA appeals back at this sort of trip. She made up plenty of ground for fifth over an extended 2m in Galway that was probably sharp enough for her. Prior to that, she won over a staying trip at Down Royal and was placed in Bellewstown. Class-dropper Andys Flame won on his sole previous visit to Downpatrick, so is a significant threat. Quite Incredible won over C&D in May and, although his next two efforts have been underwhelming, he gets a first-time visor and a better performance could be on the way. Pettigo reserves her best performances for this track and has been placed on both visits.

TANKARDSTOWN DIVA shaped well, particularly with a view to stepping back up in trip, when fifth in a big-field handicap at Galway (16.6f) 4 weeks ago and, remaining the type to do better still in handicaps, she makes a good deal of appeal here. My Policy and Pettigo can emerge as the lead threats, along with Andys Flame.

Considering that 2m might have been expected to be too short, TANKARDSTOWN DIVA (nap) ran well at Galway. She will be hard to beat now

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

PRAIRIE DANCER could be dangerous if able to dictate in this small field. This talented hurdler has had three spins over the bigger obstacles and has to bounce back from a below-par run at Kilbeggan last month, but that is feasible. On his penultimate start over fences, he was second to a ready winner in Tipperary who boosted the form in a very competitive novice chase at Killarney on Saturday. Watch The Weather should be heavily involved on the back of a couple of third places in beginners' chases at Wexford. There is surely more to come from Pacini in this discipline while Bukhill, who unseated at Tramore, isn't out of it.

Joseph O'Brien's PRAIRIE DANCER is taken to shrug off a below-par run at Kilbeggan and prove too strong for Watch The Weather.

This will probably concern PRAIRIE DANCER and Watch The Weather, who are the pick on the best of their hurdle and chase form.

Rated much lower over fences compared to her hurdles mark of 128, DESERT HEATHER could prove hard to beat. The eight-year-old was fourth in a Listed contest when sent off favourite on her penultimate start and she clearly didn't enjoy very testing conditions when last seen at Clonmel in December. Successful at Kilbeggan in July, Aliunde is sure to have plenty of supporters, while dual course winner Robin De Roost is another to consider.

ALIUNDE had a bit in hand at Ballinrobe a fortnight ago and an 8 lb rise doesn't look enough to stop Mark McNiff's charge. Calahill ran well at Cartmel last time and is second choice ahead of Desert Heather, who progressed into a useful hurdler for Declan Queally and has scope from her much lower chase mark if new trainer Rodger Sweeney has her primed after 8 months off.

The mare DESERT HEATHER has achieved little in three previous runs over regulation fences but she's thrown in on her hurdling form.

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

WINDING RIVER clearly enjoys his trips to Downpatrick and has yet to finish outside the first three in five visits to the venue. A runner-up on three of his last four starts, he can go well once again. The hat-trick seeking Presenting Lad is sure to prove popular once again. Faux Fur was narrowly behind Presenting Lad at Tramore and is likely to give a good account of herself, while Galway winner Son Of Hypnos is another with claims.

The versatile SON OF HYPNOS may be able to land a second course chase win. Gordon Elliott handicap chase newcomer Faux Fur is an obvious threat under Jack Kennedy, with Winding River next on the list.

Competitive. WINDING RIVER deserves a break over fences and he might get one now returning to the scene of both his hurdle wins.
