Downpatrick

Untrustworthy sort who doesn't win much and struggled in a tougher race at Galway last month having run well over hurdles at Uttoxeter previously.

Given a chance by the handicapper back over fences and resumed winning ways in a change of headgear in 19f Wexford contest 3 weeks ago, looking third best turning in but staying on strongly to lead last. Can go well again up 5 lb.

Back to form in first-time blinkers when fifth in strong 16-runner handicap hurdle at Bellewstown (17f) 58 days ago. Hasn't looked anywhere near as good over fences.

Rejuvenated by the application of blinkers and return to front-running tactics when winning twice over 19.5f here in May/June. Produced a tame effort in hat-trick bid having been easy to back in much stronger race at Galway last month and this is much more his level.

Fair winning hurdler who has made a solid start over fences and could do better now handicapping in this sphere.

Hard to catch right nowadays but seems to go well at Tramore, pulling clear of the rest when second in weak 2m handicap chase there a fortnight ago. Fairly weighted if building on that in first-time blinkers.

On a hat-trick for trainer who has had a great month, following up his Wexford handicap chase win under this rider in Tramore handicap hurdle 3 weeks ago. Lots to like back over fences.
