10/8/25 Downpatrick

 Saturday's winner came at Kilbeggan where Reverend Hubert led early and despite being challenged 2 out the 11/8 shot went clear approaching the last comfortably beating Jabbar by 11 lengths. Over at The Curragh Babouche was 7th in a race won by Bucanero Fuerte who beat My Mate Alfie by 1 1/4 lengths while in the other contest Gstaad was a non-runner. 

 On Sunday there are 7 races at Downpatrick with 2 standing out. 

2.47: Randox Rated Hurdle. 

4: Catena Zapata: A useful horse who's latest win came on the flat at Killarney last month. He travelled strongly from halfway leading a furlong out going clear and comfortably coming home by 6 lengths. His debut for a new yard can be discounted and he can take this on hurdles return. 

3.52: WTW Willis Mares Handicap Hurdle. 

5: Maxios Prime: An improving horse who won at Fairyhouse in February. She was a good second when last seen on this course 56 days ago where she made good headway taking 2nd entering the straight, she kept on well but couldn't reach the winner. She can continue her good handicap form here and pick up a 2nd career win.
