Review downpatrick 23rd May It was a family affair at Downpatrick as Luke and Mark McNiff combined to win the Toals World Cup 20 Days To Go Handicap Hurdle with High Talk (10-1).Jockey Luke made every post a winning one on his brother's six-year-old, who was having his first run for 56 daysThe result was never in doubt and he coasted home to win by eight lengths."We've had serious bother trying to get a run and he's been balloted out six times since he ran here nine weeks ago," said the winning trainer."Compared to the mare that won twice here (Ilikeyou) he's a better horse but kept getting balloted out over the distance we wanted and when he did get in it was too short."He was a buzzy horse last year and has matured in his head. Luke is good value for his 5lb claim and I use him on everything if I can."
