Downpatrick Race 1 - Randox Mdn Hurdle
This looks a good opportunity for the Gordon Elliott-trained EURO AGENT (2) to open his account after following up back-to-back placings at the track with a solid third at Gowran Park seven-days-ago under Jack Kennedy. Bold bid anticipated. SANTA PAULA (7) is probably best judged on her 4L third of eleven effort three runs ago at Kilbeggan. Claims if able to match that form. Watch the betting for clues. ORDERLY CONDUCT (5) makes appeal after finding the frame in jumpers flats at Sligo and this venue latest. In the mix on hurdling debut. CAP BERNAT (1) needs to show more dropping in distance but holds each-way chances.

Third-up today. First-up finished fourth of 9 runners at this track on August 31 over 3621m, 29 len behind Eben Zaabeel with 75.5kg at $26. Second-up finished sixth of 15 runners at Navan on September 19 over 4224m, 20 len behind Emerald Enigma with 75.5kg at $67. Not going well enough. Looks safely held on recent form.

Third-up today. Resuming finished second of 9 starters at this track on August 31 over 3621m, 1.75 len behind Eben Zaabeel with 75.5kg at $2.90. Second run from a spell finished third of 17 runners at Gowran Park on October 2 over 4023m, 6 len behind Gillane with 75.5kg at $5.50. Has been racing well. Overdue for a maiden success and can open winning account this time.

Recent form hard to fault. Last start finished third of 12 runners at this track on September 18 over 3621m, 5 len behind Ifuknowuknow carrying 75.5kg at $8. The start before that; finished third of 8 starters at Sligo on August 19 over 3721m, 4.5 len behind Conor'salwaysright carrying 71kg at $2.80. Well-placed to take this out.

Third race start today. At big odds at debut, finished seventh of 13 starters at Navan on September 19 over 3218m, 10 len behind Double Helix carrying 68kg at $67. Last start finished eighth of 10 runners at Fairyhouse on October 5 over 4023m, 41 len behind Princess Aveen with 67.5kg at $29. Find this unsuitable. Not likely to threaten here.
