Irish horse racing tips: Johnny Ward's best bets for Sunday

Irish racing expert Johnny Ward has two fancies for the Irish racing action at Gowran Park and Downpatrick on Sunday, live on Racing TV.
Killinure Lass (8-1) ensured it was a profitable day for my Sunday column last week and I am hoping for the same again this weekend. I’ve got one selection at Gowran Park, and another at Downpatrick, both live on Racing TV.
Fingers crossed at least one of the below help to boost punting funds ahead of Royal Ascot next week. Best of luck.

I really liked her run at Naas in Group company last time out as she was not knocked about, and she should have learnt plenty from the experience again.
She also ran a lovely race on debut here and has a fairly obvious form edge on all of her rivals already. Her experience is a massive asset around here, and she can get off the mark at the third time of asking.

Britzka finished third in a Grade Two over hurdles in December but disappointed at the Cheltenham Festival, and at Fairyhouse when last seen, and it hasn't quite worked out for him.
Very Excellent is intriguing here. He's become a really reliable horse on the Flat, winning off 74 last time, and he developed into a useful hurdler when we last saw him in this sphere. His trainer, in my view, is underrated, too.
