UK Horse Racing Tips: Downpatrick

BATTS ROCK has performed with credit on each of his six hurdling starts, making the frame the last twice, and this appears to be an ideal opportunity for the six-year-old to get off the mark in this sphere. Ificudiwud failed to fire last time out at Wexford but it is far too soon to be writing him off, while Killinkere and Hewick are others who could go well.
Prediction : 1st Batts Rock 2nd Ificudiwud 3rd Killinkere

DYNAMIC ALLEN was a decisive winner over the extended 2m1f here recently and a 7lb rise in the ratings may not be enough to stop her from taking this contest as well. Everlastingpromise displayed some promise in maiden hurdles and he should not be underestimated on his handicap debut, with Monition the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Dynamic Allen 2nd Everlastingpromise 3rd Monition

Classic Concorde looked set to play a key role when falling two out at Ballinrobe, and has to be respected off the same mark. However, preference is for THATBEATSBANAGHER, who was an encouraging third over fences earlier this month and now switches back to hurdles off a 7lb lower mark. Noel Kelly's trio of Mash Potato, Oscar Light and Bracka Lily are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Thatbeatsbanagher 2nd Classic Concorde 3rd Mash Potato

PAYNGO was still in the mix when a final-fence faller at Kilbeggan towards the end of last month and warrants plenty of respect if able to produce a clear round in a contest that looks very winnable on paper. Pat's Pearl was placed on her recent outing here over timber and is capable of making an impact over the larger obstacles. Others to note include Top Of The Charts and Pegase Amour.
Prediction : 1st Payngo 2nd Pats Pearl 3rd Top Of The Charts

BLUE TEMPLAR arrives in excellent form having won twice over the banks course at the Punchestown Festival and has to be of considerable interest on his return to the handicap ranks and regulation fences. Shanklys Dawn scored at Tramore last week and can be competitive again, despite a 5lb rise. Canadian Steel's second over C&D earlier in the month puts him in the mix as well.
Prediction : 1st Blue Templar 2nd Shanklys Dawn 3rd Canadian Steel

MY OAKCLAHOME (first) got the better of Crutches Lad (third) over course and distance a fortnight ago, and there seems to be no reason why that form should be reversed. The winner is fancied to thrive throughout the summer months and can confirm his superiority. Danjaman warmed up for this when second between the flags 13 days ago, and Pyrios is also noted under the guidance of Barry O'Neill.
Prediction : 1st My Oakclahome 2nd Crutches Lad 3rd Pyrios

GLOBAL SOCIETY was conceding plenty of weight to the winner when runner-up on debut and could now make amends for Gordon Elliott. He is nicely bred and handled a decent surface at Down Royal, so shouldn't have any issues with conditions here. Belper Rose finished fourth in a competitive Punchestown Festival bumper, while Tecumseh Sherman was a clear second behind a smart prospect at Roscommon and is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Global Society 2nd Belper Rose 3rd Tecumseh Sherman
