25/8/25 Ballinrobe & Downpatrick

 Sunday's winner at Naas was Sky Majesty. The 1/1 favourite travelled well leading from 1 1/2 out. She stayed on strongly in the final furlong comfortably beating Vespertilio by 1 3/4 lengths. The days other pick Unbreakable Duke was 4th in a race won by Fresh Fade who beat Aqua Bear by a neck.

 A double header on Monday sees 8 races at Ballinrobe and 7 at Downpatrick with 2 highlights. 

Ballinrobe 5.13: Hollymount Nursing Home Handicap Hurdle. 

4: Shaboozee: A promising horse who picked up a career best win on this course 2 weeks ago. He led after the 3rd and despite a slight mistake at the last he stayed on well coming home by 2 3/4 lengths. There is definitely more to come and he should win again here.

Downpatrick 5.28: Drop, Lock & Leave Handicap Chase. 

9: Woodstream Lad: A fair horse who's last victory came here in July. He led at the 4th going clear on the run-in and easily winning by 14 lengths. He hasn't built on that since with two 3rd place finishes including at Wexford 19 days ago but returning here is in his favour and he can resume winning ways.
