Drumlister set for quick double

Arthur Moore’s Drumlister rates the nap in the Win An Ipad Handicap Chase at Downpatrick today.

He is certainly no flying machine, but has plenty going for him now, making a quick reappearance after winning at Tramore on Friday night.

The selection, despite being easy enough to back, went off the 2-1 favourite and made most of the running to score by six lengths.

Paul Townend, who was in the plate at Tramore, renews acquaintances with the six-year-old, who has just a mandatory 4lbs penalty to carry.

The handicapper showed his hand yesterday when moving Drumlister up by 13lbs in the future.

Ironmill Lad, with Katie Walsh aboard, can provide the answer to the St Patrick’s Trail Ladies Bumper.

He was returning from a break when sixth to Miss Penny Pincher at Roscommon and is entitled to come on for that.

The modest Noel Meade-trained Westhaven gets the nod in the Cool Kidz Admission Maiden Hurdle.

He proved no match for White Feathers on this track last month, going under by 11 lengths. But Westhaven faces nothing of that calibre here, with White Feathers stepping up in class to record an impressive success at Kilbeggan on Sunday.
