Downpatrick Race 1 - Tote Every Day's A Money Back Day Maiden Hurdle
HE CAN'T DANCE (1) has now gained five placings in all starts since going hurdling. Third of twenty one attempting a Listed handicap last time reads well in the context of this race. Headgear switched. Replicating that run will see him feature. GUNNERY SERGEANT (5) finished 6L second on latest outing at Fairyhouse (heavy) last month. That was his peak effort to date. Likely to challenge. Willie Mullins trains a pair of hurdle debutants in ROBERTJAMES (10) and SEABLOOM (11). Both will be popular and likely to know what's expected. KASHCHEI (6) seems to be getting the hang of things steadily. Might make the frame late.

Having second run back today. Fresh up after five months finished seventh of 14 starters at Naas on March 8 over 3822m, 29 len behind Healys Pub with 73kg at $81. Previously second-up made ground from midfield; finished 12th of 14 runners at York on May 14 over 2414m, 22 len behind Great Bedwyn with 59kg at $5.50. First up effort suggests unlikely to be winning.
