Berry is just the ticket

There appears very little to enthuse about at this afternoon's Downpatrick fixture, but maybe Fran Berry can get punters out of trouble in the mile-and-a-half maiden.

He is on the John Oxx-trained Sportsticketing, who ran fifth to Upperville on her last start and who could be a better option than Dermot Weld's 72-rated Pharaoh Prince.

The fly in the ointment may be Fineena, who ran third on her only start at Fairyhouse, but experience could swing things the way of Sportsticketing.

Padraig Roche travels north for the ride on Good Man Again for his father, Christy, in the bumper. It looks like being a worthwhile trip.

Pigeon Rock wound up a three-and-a-half-length second to Star Horse on her last start at Wexford and has a good chance in the mare's maiden hurdle.
