Downpatrick Race 5 - J Murdoch Contracts Mdn Hurdle

Point winner THESILVERBRIDLE (8) made a pleasing start under rules when 2.75L second trying 4000m at Wexford seventeen days ago. A reproduction of that will see her go close. YOUNG DORAN (6) was on the racecourse for the first time when 6L second at Ballinrobe (4500m). Should have learned plenty from that introduction. Shortlist. MAGICAL SAL (7) showed something to work on when 4.25L away in second over course and distance last month. Confidence buoyed now. Can contend. LYGON LAD (3) returns from a lengthy spell on the side-lines for the Gordon Elliott stable. Indicated ability and likely to be well prepared.

Freshened for 30 days. Last start finished seventh of 14 runners at Cork on July 10 over 3520m, 40 len behind Hygge carrying 66.5kg at $301. Start before ran last at Tramore on May 29 over 3218m, 65 len behind One Day In May carrying 67kg at $126. Tough assignment here. Won't find this easy.
