Downpatrick Race 6 - Caherty Stables Beginners Chase
TRUE TESTIMONY (7) produced a decent fourth in a 4000m mares beginners chase at Clonmel. Maintains progressive record. Likely player. HEROES RISE (3) placed twice with hurdles before a good fourth attempting a 3800m handicap hurdle three weeks back at Naas. Shortlist making chase debut. STEP OUT (4) filled the same position over 4400m tackling a Kelso (UK) novices limited handicap chase at the start of the month. Enjoys this track. Interesting. DIGBY (2) could fill fourth spot.

Last run didn't finish the race at Naas on March 9 over 4023m. The start before that; didn't finish the race at Fairyhouse on February 5 over 3218m. Might find this a bit too tough.

Last run finished fifth in a small field at Down Royal on March 17 over 3922m, 35 len behind Lightkeeper with 73.5kg at $8.50. The start before that; finished 19th of 20 starters at Gowran Park on February 15 over 4023m, slow track; 115 len behind Bridie's Beau carrying 75.5kg at $51. Likely to find this too tough without big improvement.

Useful type. Last run finished fourth of 16 runners at Naas on March 9 over 3922m, slow track; 10 len behind Jump Allen with 67kg at $11. Before that finished third in a small field at Fairyhouse on January 16 over 4023m, slow track; 2.5 len behind Find A Fortune with 72.5kg at $2.10. Gets a chance to win. Can do a lot better - winning prospects.

Racing second-up today. Not raced for 49 days. First-up after three months finished fifth of 12 starters at Navan on February 9 over 4425m, 40 len behind Waittillitellyou carrying 74kg at $8. Previously second-up finished second in a small field at this track on October 11 over 3520m, 2.25 len behind Hey Sunshine with 71kg at $1.90. Needs to find a bit more to feature.

Freshened for 29 days.

The run before finished eighth of 11 starters at Naas on February 8 over 3118m, on slow going 13 len behind Duke Of Leggagh with 75kg at $13. Likely to play a major role.

Third-up today. First-up finished fifth of 11 starters at Fairyhouse on February 5 over 4224m, 24 len behind Zenta with 70kg at $23. Second-up finished fourth of 7 runners at Clonmel on February 27 over 4023m, in the wet; 11 len behind Paggane with 73kg at $21. Fitter now and making headway every start. Looks to be on the up and can take the next step.
