Downpatrick

Having been caught further back than ideal, DEPALMA shaped with promise in a competitive Leopardstown novice handicap on Boxing Day, and he may be able to make a winning return in calmer waters. Goodie Girl was unlucky not to add to her hurdles tally on penultimate outing and can bounce back from a disappointing effort on softer ground, while Arcland looks an interesting newcomer for the Gavin Cromwell team.

    Verdict
    Ran creditably in a trio of Kilbeggan handicap hurdles prior to a disappointing effort for back on the Level on final outing for Harry Rogers. Reverts to hurdles with cheekpieces on for first time in this code. Interesting stable debutant for top yard.

    Verdict
    Justified support and confirmed promise of previous run when landing a 14-runner handicap hurdle (6/1) at Wexford (17f, good to soft) 6 days ago, travelled well and always holding on. Respected but has more on his plate in a stronger race off 5 lb higher.

    Verdict
    Lightly-raced type finished respectable ninth of 19 in a novice handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (16f, good) 148 days ago, caught further back than ideal in race that has thrown up some fairly useful types. That form reads well in this company and he's interesting if ready to roll on return.

    Verdict
    Lightly-raced winner over hurdles. Only second start in handicap company when 5/1, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap hurdle at this course (17.8f, good) 14 days ago. Could yet have more to offer over a slightly longer trip.

    Verdict
    Latest win in hurdle at Galway in July but finished last year with two disappointing efforts, most recent when 14/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Galway (16f, heavy). Has been given a break and no surprise to see him bounce back to form at a course where he's been successful previously.

    Verdict
    Course winner. Latest win in hurdle at Fairyhouse in October. Looked set to add to her tally when falling at Leopardstown in March. Latest 17/2, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (20f, soft) 33 days ago, unsuited by more testing conditions. Could bounce back quickly on better ground.

    Lightly-raced winner of a Downpatrick maiden (21.7f) on final run for Gordon Elliott in June 2022. Tongue strap on for handicap/stable debut and market should reveals expectations following significant absence.

    Verdict
    Couldn't match two previous efforts when seventh of 15 in handicap hurdle at Thurles (20.2f, good to soft) 175 days ago, wore first time tongue tie (now removed). Remains to be seen if she can rediscover her form following a break.

    Course winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. Fared little better than he has this season when 22/1, ninth of 14 in handicap hurdle at this course (21.8f, good to soft) 54 days ago. Best to look elsewhere.
