MACINAMILLION shaped with promise when third at Wexford last time and first-time cheekpieces could sharpen him up further. Woodstream Lad won a handicap hurdle here in July and should appreciate returning to Downpatrick. Portarlington also has winning form at this venue and the first-time visor may help him bounce back.
