Arthur Moore's string has been in good form recently and the Naas trainer can warm up for the busy holiday period with a win for Well Young Man at Downpatrick today, reports Brian O'Connor.

The six-year-old jumps up almost a mile in trip from a fourth behind Joys Island at Clonmel in today's Beginners Chase but that shouldn't be a problem for a consistent type in a far from brilliant contest.

Co Carlow-based Pat Fahy can also make the journey north worth- while with a double courtesy of the consistent Backtothekingsnest in the bumper and Border Graduate in the second maiden hurdle.

Border Graduate was a good third to Morgansaccord in a decent Fairyhouse bumper last time.

Deramore Rythm likes the roller-coaster track here judged on a second to Hotterthanjuly and has a good shout in the opener.
