Downpatrick Race 1 - Randox Maiden Hurdle
LE QUESTIONNAIRE (7) sets the standard after a clear 2nd at Tramore over 3291m on good ground, and looks suited stepping up in trip. MR MASTER MAC (1) brings solid maiden form, including a Sligo win over 3702m on good and a recent Tramore 3rd, and is a key chance. TOLKA ROW (10) was 8th of 17 at Clonmel over 3928m, beaten 13.95L, and can improve with that debut run under the belt. BROHATNA (3) wasn’t far away when 5th here over 4389m two weeks ago and stays on the radar.
