UK Horse Racing Tips: Downpatrick

ORDER OF THE DANCE got hampered and shuffled back on his last outing at Ballinrobe and it looks fair to draw a line through that run. He had been placed twice previously, including a solid run to finish second off this mark at Clonmel. There looks to be a race in him off his current rating, and going a bit further now may help. Look Dont Touch ran well off a 1lb lower mark when fourth at a big price at Punchestown last month and he is entitled to play a big part here. Portarlington didn't run badly in claiming company last time and is on a competitive enough mark.
Prediction : 1st Order Of The Dance 2nd Look Dont Touch 3rd Portarlington

PERSIAN DAUGHTER looks to have been found a nice opportunity here. The Westerner mare was no match for a decent sort in Avondale at Bellewstown recently, but it was still a solid effort and she had a couple of horses with decent marks behind. This looks an easier task. Portetta has been knocking on the door and it was a good run to finish second at Tipperary on her penultimate outing. She seems like the obvious danger. Clongorey showed some promise last year and is another who has to be considered.
Prediction : 1st Persian Daughter 2nd Portetta 3rd Clongorey

KAMIKAZ DU PLESSIS opened his account in good style at Wexford and this looks like a nice race in which to bag a follow-up win. The Karaktar gelding ran well on his racecourse bow when going down by half a length to Net Boy in Ballinrobe and the step up in trip helped last time. Kilbuny Supersonic was impressive when also scoring at Wexford on her last start. There is a bit of a question over what she beat, but she couldn't have done it any easier. Derryville wasn't disgraced in a mares' event at Kilbeggan last month and is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Kamikaz Du Plessis 2nd Kilbuny Supersonic 3rd Derryville

Course form here is always a plus and SIGHTS UNSEEN can strike back at the venue. She was a good winner over this trip here back in May and ran a solid race to finish third over fences at Tramore a week later. After a little break and off just 5lb higher, she has to have a big shout. Rose Of Kalanisi was a game winner when landing a gamble over in Kelso back in April and looks an obvious danger. Tiny Angel, fourth behind the selection here in May, could be one for a place.
Prediction : 1st Sights Unseen 2nd Rose Of Kalanisi 3rd Tiny Angel

Ivan Ryan will be keen to click into gear as soon as possible in the conditional ranks, and in DIVILABOTHER he has a mount that gives him every chance of making the breakthrough. Under Caragh Monaghan last time, the grey finished off with a real rattle, failing by just half a length to reel back Rose Boum at Punchestown. The seven-year-old Markaz gelding is now taken to belatedly shed his maiden tag. Fool Me Once has to strongly enter the reckoning after finding just Game On his superior at this venue back in May, while the unexposed Jarvis Brook cannot be ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Divilabother 2nd Fool Me Once 3rd Jarvis Brook

A mare-in-form like MISS GITANA is difficult to ignore. Granted, her win at Tramore last week was achieved on the level, but the Nathaniel youngster has already displayed a reasonable level of ability as a hurdler. The former Sir Mark Prescott inmate has got placed course form too, after a third behind subsequent winners Queenofthelodge and Billie Frechette in May. That reads really well in the context of this event and, though she'll need to brush her jumping up, an always to the fore approach from Kevin Sexton could prove successful. Gerald Quinn is two-handed. After her Perth second placing Tamlaght Eyes looks interesting, while Evies Court shouldn't be too far away either.
Prediction : 1st Miss Gitana 2nd Tamlaght Eyes 3rd Evies Court

It's not difficult to imagine CLOSUTTON being a useful type. The Shantou mare hails from a family that has served Willie and Patrick Mullins really well over the years and is an own-sister to Airlie Beach, a Grade 1-winning hurdler and also successful at Listed level on the Flat. The Mullins team know where they stand with Walks The Talk given that she finished third to their Liadawn here last month, and the point-to-point winner may now be aided by the addition of a hood. Another that started in that sphere, Passing Diamond is not to be underestimated.
Prediction : 1st Closutton 2nd Walks The Talk 3rd Passing Diamond
