HAPPILY, Cheltenham took place before Downpatrick’s big day as the two Northern-owned and bred winners at the Festival, Glens Melody and Killultagh Vic, will be paraded tomorrow at the Toals Bookmakers Ulster Grand National meeting.

Joining the Willie Mullins-trained pair on the trip up to the Co Down track will be the wonderful Northern-owned Hurricane Fly who took his career earnings to over €2,069,000 with his third place finish to yet another stable-companion, Faugheen, in the Stan James Champion Hurdle (Grade 1).
