26/8/24 Downpatrick & Ballinrobe

 A very poor Sunday at Naas saw No Return finish 7th in a race won by Rebel Diamond who beat Rion Rubette by a head while in the days Group 3 Nighteyes was 11th with Shandy taking the contest beating Firebird by a head.

 There are seven races at both Downpatrick and Ballinrobe on a busy Monday with 2 standing out. 

Downpatrick 4.15: C Russell Auto Sales Beginners Chase. 

2: Prairie Dancer: A useful horse who was a below form 6th at Kilbeggan when last seen 45 days ago. He disputed the lead going to the front before the 8th, he was passed 4 out and soon had no extra. That run can be overlooked and if he returns to the form that saw him finish 2nd at Tipperary in May then he is the one to beat here. 

Ballinrobe 5.10: Adare Manor Opportunity Maiden Hurdle. 

5: Mount Anglesby: A fair hurdler who was a good second on his first run for a new yard at Tramore 10 days ago. He led early but had dropped to 4th by Halfway, he improved moving into 2nd before the last keeping on at one pace. There is definitely more to come and he can go one better here.
