6:29 Downpatrick Tips

Winner last time out two weeks ago over course and distance, winning by one and a quarter lengths. Prefers drying ground. Trained by C. A. McBratney and has Kevin Sexton in the saddle. Each-way chance.

This lightly-raced front-runner boasts a colossal speed and class figure advantage over his current handicap mark. He ran a massive race over this exact course and distance a fortnight ago, finishing a close third despite hanging badly left in the straight. He gets to dictate terms again here from the front off a highly exploitable rating. The market is undervaluing a horse whose underlying metrics suggest he is fundamentally better than this grade of opponent.

Anna Ruby Rose was coming off a long break when caught late on the run-in here by Gangster Granny last time. She is two pounds better off with that rival and could reverse the result here.

Despite being a maiden after 11 attempts under rules, she has had some good runs. This include runs elsewhere, she ran well last time out when 2nd at this track and her RPR over hurdles has since increased for each run.

This experienced 9-year-old shines at Downpatrick, where he secured a commendable third-place finish over this C&D in March. Now dropping to a competitive mark of 75, this reliable stamina specialist is set to pose a strong each-way challenge at attractive 28/1 odds on his preferred good-to-yielding ground.

Bayonetta offers good each-way value at the odds. The horse has shown enough ability in previous runs to suggest a competitive finish. With a decent pace setup, she could easily sneak into the places while still having an outside winning chance.
