FormscanBy Donal Murphy - WINDING RIVER clearly enjoys his trips to Downpatrick and has yet to finish outside the first three in five visits to the northern venue. A runner-up on three of his last four starts, it'll be disappointing if he is not involved towards the business end here. The hat-trick seeking Presenting Lad is sure to prove popular with punters. Already successful at Roscommon and Tramore this month, the Mark McNiff-trained eight-year-old will be ridden by Alex Harvey who claims a valuable 5lb. Faux Fur was just a length-and-a-half behind Presenting Lad at Tramore and she is likely to give a good account of herself, while Galway winner Son Of Hypnos is another leading hope.
