Downpatrick Race 5 - Cosy Group Beginners Chase
Two-time hurdle winning KILLEEMORE LAD (4) arrives in good condition after consecutive seconds tackling the larger obstacles at Roscommon and Tramore. Ticks plenty of boxes raised in distance. Major player. JABBAR (2) is a multi-code winner who makes plenty of appeal on chasing debut with ground conditions to suit. Holds serious claims if strong in the market. ROBBIES ROCK (5) formerly won when hurdling and on the flat. Open to plenty of improvement providing only his second chase start. Looks a leading contender. HERJA (7) found the frame twice from five fences outings. Climbs in trip and brings solid place credentials.

Comes off a 34 day let-up. Last start finished second of 20 runners at Galway on July 28 over 3621m, 2.5 len behind Tell Us This carrying 68.5kg at $17. Run before finished sixth of 7 runners at Hexham on June 21 over 3118m, 16 len behind Conquer The Breeze with 67.5kg at $9. Has the ability to be in the finish. Certainly worth including.
