Downpatrick Race 3 - Willwego.com Handicap Hurdle (0-100)
SOMEONE'S WISH (2) Fresh after spell of 35 weeks. Was nothing special when 10th last time at Dundalk but going up in distance. Should muster plenty of early toe. Will be competitive. BRINGSTY (6) On a short back up. Ran well when 3rd last time in a hurdle at Killarney. Should muster plenty of early speed. Has to be included. PARKGARVE (3) Backs up quickly. Failed to finish in a hurdle at Gowran Park. Should jump out and bowl along. Capable of forward showing and can be competitive. ASWELLASABENTLEY (4) Fresh today. Finished 4th last time in a hurdle at Kilbeggan. Likely to settle back in the field. This field suits.
