Downpatrick Race 2 - Denis Macauley Memorial Novice Hcp Hurdle
LYGON LAD (2) managed to keep on when getting off the mark proving a comfortable 1L winner under the in-form Jack Kennedy around this type of journey here last month. Further progress likely with that elusive first success now under his belt. Could go back-to-back. FACILE OCEAN (1) made all when delivering a commanding 14L maiden hurdle triumph at Kilbeggan. Failed to see out the longer trip next time at the same venue. Feared dropping back in distance. Three-time flat winner PAPAGEI (4) found the frame last time at Navan. Might be thereabouts again. MR CAULFIELD (3) looks one for the placings.

Recent form hard to fault. Freshened for 49 days. Last outing finished fourth of 9 starters at Kilbeggan on August 21 over 3822m, 5 len behind La Cote Fleurie with 73kg at $8. The run before won by 14 len Kilbeggan on August 8 over 3218m defeating First Ascent carrying 69.5kg at $3 in a hurdle. Likely to return to the strong form we saw two runs back.

Freshened for 32 days. Last run finished tenth of 20 runners at Galway on September 7 over 3218m, 48 len behind Firebrand carrying 72kg at $41. Run before didn't finish the race at this track on August 31 over 3621m. Worth a market check.

Last outing finished ninth of 16 starters at Roscommon on September 28 over 3118m, 32 len behind Inver Bay carrying 69.5kg at $11. The run before didn't finish the race at this track on August 9 over 4425m. Looks to have had his chances and offers little appeal.
