"There's nothing of Our Girl Salley's class lurking in this and Belle Brook really ought to be able add to her Thurles win earlier in the season".

Three selections for Downpatrick's feature meeting of the jumps season.

Belle Brook (14.45) looks banker material in a weak mares novice hurdle. Her recent placed efforts represent the strongest form on offer and, unlike her most realistic danger, Streamstown, she shouldn't be inconvenienced by the conditions.There's nothing of Our Girl Salley's class lurking in this and she really ought to be able add to her Thurles win earlier in the season.

Arctic Mick is likely to be a warm favourite for the Peter Meegan Memorial Handicap Hurdle after his easy win at Navan last week, but with some reservations about his ability to reproduce that form turned out quickly, it could pay to side with Breeze with Ease (15.15) each-way. A former course-and-distance winner, Breeze with Ease has been in good heart of late, third to Accordion to Paddy at Down Royal last time, and should place at worst in this.

Island Peak (16.15) has been shaping well in stronger hunters than this one of late and looks to hold strong claims of going one better than when chasing home Salsify at Clonmel. He again impressed with how well he travelled though the race when behind the impressive winner that day and doesn't look to have much to beat in what appears to be a weak hunter.

Recommendations

Back Belle Brook in the 14.45
Back Breeze With Ease win and place in the 15.15
Back Island Peak in the 16.15
