Two mediocre meetings today but the day can start on a positive note with Tullybeg sure to take beating in the Toals Bookmakers Maiden Hurdle which gets the National Hunt action underway at Downpatrick.

Gordon Elliott’s runner was a winner of a bumper at Bellewstown on his most recent outing, and that form received a boost when runner-up Walking Fame won a similar race on her next start.
