4:53 Downpatrick Tips

The model I run suggests Doyen Magic can win this one. This result has been driven by Doyen Magic having the joint highest RPR but an official ranking which puts him closer to middle order. This results in Doyen Magic going out carrying slightly less weight than the other market contenders around this 2m 3f round trip. Came first when last out 31 days ago and looks to build on that latest effort by getting over the line first again here. The model has issued a 'very low' stake indicator which translates to a 0.5pt bet on a scale of 0-4.

Person Of Interest is a 5-year-old gelding trained by John Joseph Hanlon and ridden by Paddy Hanlon. He has yet to win and is unexposed in the chasing sphere with just two attempts. On his penultimate start when sent off 6-4f, he posted a near career-best RPR of 105 over CD on good ground on his chasing debut, beaten 1/2 length by Well Loved in a tongue tie and first-time cheekpieces (retained today), finishing 14 lengths ahead of the rest. He had excuses on his last start when pulling up when sent off 100/30f over further 22.5f at Limerick, where he was badly hampered and lost his place four out. Today's drop in trip (placed over 2m 3f over hurdles earlier this year) back at Downpatrick could see him in a better light.

Twice a runner-up in maiden hurdles and finished a solid 3rd in a handicap last time. Now making chase debut on a lowly mark with top jockey on board.

With this one's yard having a winner yesterday, I'm backing both their runners each way today. This one makes his chase debut today, so could leave his hurdles form behind. Worth an each-way investment.
