17:05 Sligo Claiming Hurdle 18f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	8 1st (8) (11/1 +8%) Must Meet Cecil	11 11/1(+8%)	(8) Must Meet Cecil 11/1, Modest hurdler. 33/1, eleventh of 14 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (17f, good) 21 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Struggling in handicaps but can't be ruled out off such a light weight; cheekpieces tried.
2	6 2nd (6) (2.75/1 +0%) Conna Cottage	2.75 2.75/1(+0%)	(6) Conna Cottage 2.75/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Creditable fourth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Bellewstown (24f, good, 9/1) 33 days ago, faring best of those held up. Down in trip and should give it a good shot. Not one to rule out off a handy weight given his rider's claim.
3	4 3rd (4) (2/1 -33%) Cafe Con Leche	2 2/1(-33%)	(4) Cafe Con Leche 2/1, Fairly useful hurdler. 4/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Down Royal (12.8f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Cheekpieces on 1st time over jumps. Major player at the weights. Engaged 5.05 here Wednesday. Struggled on the flat of late but big chance on ratings back hurdling.
4	3 4th (3) (8.5/1 -55%) Wajaaha	8.5 8.5/1(-55%)	(3) Wajaaha 8.5/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Nineteenth of 20 in handicap hurdle (100/1) at Galway (16f, good) 6 days ago. Solid place chance based on his form at Naas earlier this year, finishing second in a big-field handicap in February. Overall regressive but definite claims in this company.
5th	2 5th (2) (4/1 +53%) Desert Friend	4 4/1(+53%)	(2) Desert Friend 4/1, Fairly useful chaser. Fairly useful winner at 16f in chases. 10/1, respectable third of 7 in claimer at Tramore (12f, good to soft) 30 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Each-way shout. Solid enough run in Tramore flat claimer on latest; one to consider back hurdling.
7	7 \|F\| (7) (50/1 +0%) Howsthewoman	50 50/1(+0%)	(7) Howsthewoman 50/1, Poor hurdler. Remains a maiden after 21 NH runs. Blinkered for 1st time, good fifth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (18f, soft, 50/1) 20 days ago. Visored for 1st time. Easy to look elsewhere. 21-race maiden has loads to find on ratings here and visor replaces blinkers.
1	1 \|U\| (1) (7/1 +42%) Bigz Belief	7 7/1(+42%)	(1) Bigz Belief 7/1, Fairly useful hurdler. C&D winner. Latest win in hurdle here in June. Tenth of 14 in handicap hurdle (50/1) at Galway (16.7f, soft) 4 days ago. Faces a stiff task on these terms. Won similar event in June but has struggled since in handicaps; plenty on at the weights.

LTO Selection:

DESERT FRIEND appreciates better ground and is eminently capable of a big run. He ran a fair race in third in a claimer on the Flat at Tramore last month, and it was just three runs back that he scored in a beginners' chase at Clonmel. Bigz Belief weakened out of contention in a handicap hurdle at Galway on Sunday, but it is worth noting that he made all to win a claiming hurdle over slightly further at this track in June. This is a marked drop in class for Wajaaha and it could spark him back into form. Market support would certainly be significant. Conna Cottage is far from out of contention.

Given that he is due to run on the Flat here on Wednesday, CAFE CON LECHE is far from certain to go to post, but it's worth noting that his success in a handicap hurdle at Limerick in March was gained on the back of a six-day break. Provided all goes well on Wednesday and he is allowed to take his chance, the 7-y-o will have a big chance on these terms. Conna Cottage could be the one to benefit most should Cafe Con Leche not take part, with Wajaaha and Desert Friend set for minor roles.

17:35 Sligo Maiden Hurdle 18f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	4 1st (4) (5.5/1 +39%) Glendars Mahler	5.5 5.5/1(+39%)	(4) Glendars Mahler 5.5/1, Modest hurdler. Remains a maiden after 7 hurdle runs. 4/1, fell in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (21.6f, good) 16 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Placings in maidens at Downpatrick and Wexford give her prospects; tongue tie tried.
2	1 2nd (1) (9/1 -80%) Air Drop	9 9/1(-80%)	(1) Air Drop 9/1, Modest in bumpers but ran to a fair level when fourth of 18 on Listowel hurdle debut (2m) in June and is open to improvement. Keen under inexperienced rider in bumpers of late; likely improver back hurdling.
3	6 3rd (6) (28/1 +15%) Marvel Star	28 28/1(+15%)	(6) Marvel Star 28/1, Modest form at best in 3 bumper runs. Makes hurdles debut. Mild bumper promise, needs to improve for switch to hurdles to have a say.
4	10 4th (10) (4.5/1 -64%) Ta Na La	4.5 4.5/1(-64%)	(10) Ta Na La 4.5/1, Fair maiden on the Flat who has been placed all 3 starts over hurdles, shaping clear second best when third at Kilbeggan (18f, soft) 20 days ago, paying for matching strides with winner for long way. Sets the standard. Placed on all three 4yo maiden hurdle runs and rock-solid place claims again.
5th	3 5th (3) (0.57/1 +62%) Coole Cherry	0.57 0.57/1(+62%)	(3) Coole Cherry 0.57/1, Fair form when runner-up all 4 starts in bumpers. Bred to make a hurdler and should be up to making her presence felt in a race of this nature. Runner-up all four bumpers; could take the beating on hurdles debut here.
6th	8 6th (8) (14/1 +22%) Portville	14 14/1(+22%)	(8) Portville 14/1, Modest maiden on the Flat and similar form when down the field in juvenile hurdles. Only mild promise last winter; likely of more interest in handicaps.
7th	9 7th (9) (22/1 -22%) Stormie Outlook	22 22/1(-22%)	(9) Stormie Outlook 22/1, Fair maiden on the Flat who shaped better than the distance beaten suggests when seventh of 12 in maiden (3/1) at Clonmel (16.2f, soft) on NH debut 91 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Tongue strap on for 1st time in this code. Open to improvement.- Engaged 8.10 here Wednesday. Underwhelming hurdles debut (favourite) at Clonmel in May; back from a break.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (200/1 -300%) Going Easy	200 200/1(-300%)	(5) Going Easy 200/1, Califet mare. Half-sister to 3 winners, including smart hurdler/fairly useful chaser Mister Miyagi and fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Worthy Farm. Newcomer best watched unless market suggests otherwise.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (200/1 -300%) One For Mick	200 200/1(-300%)	(7) One For Mick 200/1, Well held in a pair of bumpers. Well beaten in two bumpers and of no appeal on hurdles debut.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (200/1 -203%) Comeragh Belle	200 200/1(-203%)	(2) Comeragh Belle 200/1, No form on Flat/over hurdles. Poor maiden under both codes, easily passed over.

LTO Selection:

A switch to hurdling could see COOLE CHERRY get off the mark. Willie Mullins' mare has finished runner-up on all four bumper runs to date, so clearly has ability. She is ground versatile and is sure to be well schooled for her first crack at flights. Air Drop performed more than respectably in fourth in a mares' maiden hurdle at Listowel. There is likely to be much more to come from her as a half-sister to a horse who has won five races over hurdles. Ta Na La has had three spins over hurdles and, having been placed in all of them, wouldn't need to find much more to deliver in this company. Glendars Mahler has plenty of experience in this discipline and has been placed in three maiden hurdles. She fell in the early stages at Ballinrobe, but is better than that.

TA NA LA paid late on for matching strides with the winner for a long way at Kilbeggan last month and certainly has a race of this nature within her compass judged on that performance, so she gets the nod. Coole Cherry has shown a fair level of ability in bumpers and will be suited by this slightly stiffer test now hurdling, with Air Drop also feared.

17:35 Sligo Maiden Hurdle 18f PREDICTION SIMULATION

18:05 Sligo Maiden Hurdle 18f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	5 1st (5) (3.5/1 +65%) Hazelhatch Lady	3.5 3.5/1(+65%)	(5) Hazelhatch Lady 3.5/1, Bumper winner who was pulled up first start 2 starts over hurdles but much improved to open her account in maiden company at Roscommon (20f) last month, running on. That may not prove her limit now she's off the mark. Down in trip. Definitely has two ways of running, 33-1 for her bumper and maiden hurdle wins.
2	1 2nd (1) (1.1/1 +45%) Presenting Doyen	1.1 1.1/1(+45%)	(1) Presenting Doyen 1.1/1, Fairly useful hurdler. 11/1, career best when winning 6-runner minor event hurdle at Killarney (20f, good) 21 days ago, headway to lead last and going clear. Fancied to feature again with rider taking off handy 5 lb. Beat talented stablemate Effernock Fizz at Killarney, clear chance with a reproduction.
3	2 3rd (2) (4/1 -190%) Timourid	4 4/1(-190%)	(2) Timourid 4/1, Fairly useful winner at 10f on Flat who created a good impression in making his first completed start in this sphere a successful one at Roscommon (15.5f) leading between last 2 and doing it comfortably. Player with prospect of more to come. Best known as a five-time Flat winner, options broadened by last month's maiden hurdle win.
4	3 4th (3) (5/1 +17%) Killeemore Lad	5 5/1(+17%)	(3) Killeemore Lad 5/1, Lightly-raced dual winner over hurdles (at up to 19f). Thirteenth of 16 in maiden (100/1) at Galway (12.2f, good to soft) on flat debut 8 days ago, in rear and never on terms. Bounce back not ruled out returned to timber. Winner of hurdle races at Kilbeggan and Hexham in recent months. well beaten at Ballinrobe.
5th	4 5th (4) (14/1 -56%) Western Comandor	14 14/1(-56%)	(4) Western Comandor 14/1, Fair hurdler. Winner in hurdle at Down Royal in March. 50/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, thirteenth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Galway (16.7f, soft) 4 days ago. Not that easy to warm to turned out quickly. Maiden hurdle winner at Down Royal in March, stiff tasks since then including over fences.

LTO Selection:

TIMOURID could fare best in this rated novice hurdle. Paul Flynn's charge landed a valuable handicap on the Flat at the Curragh in May and showed that he has a future over hurdles when taking a Roscommon maiden hurdle in July. Outsider Presenting Doyen took full advantage of a pace collapse to win in Killarney. That form has to be taken with a pinch of salt, however, she brought up plenty of bets so the win wasn't a surprise to many. Hazelhatch Lady made all and held on to score over further in Roscommon. She goes to work off bottom-weight and the field would be wise not to give her too much rope if the same tactics are applied.

TIMOURID created a good impression when making his first completed start over hurdles a winning one in a Roscommon maiden in July, and with further progress in the offing on that evidence, he's fancied to make a bold bid to follow up in this stronger affair. Presenting Doyen, following her Killarney victory 21 days ago, can emerge as the chief threat.

18:35 Sligo Handicap Hurdle 18f - 15 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	3 1st (3) (7.5/1 +53%) Golden Sandbanks	7.5 7.5/1(+53%)	(3) Golden Sandbanks 7.5/1, Three wins from 10 runs last season. Bit below form ninth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Cork (18.7f, good to soft, 22/1) on Monday. Switching between chasing and hurdling, seems out of form, course winner over fences.
2	7 2nd (7) (22/1 -57%) Rockview Roman	22 22/1(-57%)	(7) Rockview Roman 22/1, Thrice-raced maiden over hurdles. Modest winner at 11f on Flat. Eleventh of 17 in handicap at Navan (10f, soft, 8/1) 26 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles and a potential improver now handicapping. Gained his latest Flat win at Gowran in April, not much merit in his maiden hurdle formn.
3	10 3rd (10) (8/1 +43%) Pearlofflorida	8 8/1(+43%)	(10) Pearlofflorida 8/1, C&D winner. Winner in hurdle here in June. Creditable sixth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (24.4f, soft, 9/1) 27 days ago. Back down in trip. C&D maiden winner in June, much longer trip did not appear to suit at Kilbeggan on latest.
4	8 4th (8) (18/1 -13%) Angelsworknovrtime	18 18/1(-13%)	(8) Angelsworknovrtime 18/1, Fourteenth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Cork (20f, good to soft, 12/1) 27 days ago. Given a break and better expected. Unplaced in C&D handicap last month, hard to have much confidence after a poor Cork run.
5th	15 5th (15) (12/1 -100%) Be My Hero	12 12/1(-100%)	(15) Be My Hero 12/1, 2/1, eighth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (17.3f, good) 53 days ago. Enters calculations back from a break given yard he represents. Worth considering on his Wexford second, excuse offered for his Downpatrick failure.
6th	6 6th (6) (4.5/1 +10%) Kellie's Dream	4.5 4.5/1(+10%)	(6) Kellie's Dream 4.5/1, Showed the benefit of the reappearance and better than ever when winning 15-runner handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (18f, soft) 20 days ago. Has good chance on form from revised mark. Had plenty to spare when winning at Kilbeggan and may be able to cope with an 8lb rise.
7th	14 7th (14) (40/1 +20%) Max Time	40 40/1(+20%)	(14) Max Time 40/1, 28/1, fifteenth of 17 in handicap hurdle at Cork (16.9f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Booking of King a plus. Modest sort in bumpers and maiden hurdles, towards the rear in his first handicap hurdle.
8th	11 8th (11) (28/1 +30%) Action Station	28 28/1(+30%)	(11) Action Station 28/1, 20/1, twelfth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (17f, good) 16 days ago. Blinkers on first time. Blinkered for the first time, little appeal on what he has shown in handicaps this season.
9th	5 9th (5) (6.5/1 +46%) Champagne Vacation	6.5 6.5/1(+46%)	(5) Champagne Vacation 6.5/1, Good third of 15 in handicap hurdle at Bellewstown (20f, good, 22/1) 33 days ago. Drops back in trip and he's one to consider. Promising display after a break when third over 2m4f at Bellewstown, worth considering.
10th	2 10th (2) (7/1 -27%) Downtherefordancin	7 7/1(-27%)	(2) Downtherefordancin 7/1, Excellent fourth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Roscommon (15.5f, good to soft, 11/1) 31 days ago. Can make presence felt given he's not yet exposed. Improved from his handicap debut when staying on well from off the pace at Roscommon.
11th	9 11th (9) (12/1 +33%) Baby Chou	12 12/1(+33%)	(9) Baby Chou 12/1, Creditable fifth of 12 in novice hurdle (16/1) at Bellewstown (16.8f, good) 33 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Open to progress for successful yard. Placed form in maidens does not amount to much but relatively unexposed sort for top yard.
12th	13 12th (13) (28/1 -12%) Chemdawg	28 28/1(-12%)	(13) Chemdawg 28/1, Fair maiden on the Flat. Thrice-raced maiden. 200/1, nineteenth of 21 in juvenile hurdle at Naas (15.7f, soft). Off 6 months. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Should improve. Mild promise on the Flat, has shown no aptitude for hurdling in three maiden attempts.
13th	4 13th (4) (80/1 -21%) Quickbuck	80 80/1(-21%)	(4) Quickbuck 80/1, Hurdles winner for Nicky Henderson but thirteenth of 15 in handicap hurdle (50/1) at Bellewstown (20f, good) on completed start for this yard 33 days ago. Won a handicap hurdle for Nicky Henderson last year, has struggled in two Irish starts.
14th	12 14th (12) (3/1 +14%) Magnetic North	3 3/1(+14%)	(12) Magnetic North 3/1, Improved to win 10-runner claimer (4/1) at Ballinrobe (9.4f, good to soft) 17 days ago, always holding on. Could be well handicapped back over hurdles. Fine form on the Flat since a poor hurdles run at Ballinrobe, may be worth forgiving.
16	16 \|PU\| (16) (100/1 -52%) Allez George	100 100/1(-52%)	(16) Allez George 100/1, Remains a maiden after 17 NH runs. 80/1, pulled up in handicap chase at Clonmel (23f, soft) 161 days ago, tailed off when pulled up ninth. Switches from chase to hurdles. Down in trip. Badly out of form since second at Tramore near the end of the season before last.

LTO Selection:

DOWNTHEREFORDANCIN appeared to be crying out for a step up in trip in Roscommon and gets it here. He stayed on to be a never-nearer fourth over just shy of 2m, and looks a big player in this handicap. On Pearlofflorida's penultimate start, she enjoyed the good ground over a similar trip at this track and swept in by three lengths. She then didn't appear to quite get home when sixth over an extended 3m at Kilbeggan, but should appreciate being back over this sort of trip. Kellie's Dream won nicely over 2m2f in Kilbeggan which brings her right into contention. Cian Quirke knows her well and his 5lb claim is more than useful. Champagne Vacation gave best on the run-in over further in Bellewstown and dropped to third, so this journey could be more to his liking.

This could be a strong race for the grade with MAGNETIC NORTH taken to get his act together over hurdles and cash in on what is a generous mark given his Flat ability. Kellie's Dream is feared most, though Baby Chou is open to progress.

18:35 Sligo Handicap Hurdle 18f PREDICTION SIMULATION

19:05 Sligo Maiden Hurdle 20f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	2 1st (2) (11/1 +21%) Fizzle Rock	11 11/1(+21%)	(2) Fizzle Rock 11/1, Fair bumper winner. Modest form at best over hurdles, 33/1, fourth of 9 in novice hurdle at Bellewstown (20f, good) 33 days ago, merely plugging on. Handicaps entitled to be more her bag. Useful in bumpers two years ago, not in the same form since returning from a long absence.
2	5 2nd (5) (6/1 +45%) Sea Road Fill	6 6/1(+45%)	(5) Sea Road Fill 6/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (19.1f, soft, 20/1) in May, always behind. Needs to bounce back returned from 3 months off. Pulled-up on his handicap debut at Clonmel, maiden form does not inspire confidence.
3	1 3rd (1) (4.5/1 +10%) Scott Lang	4.5 4.5/1(+10%)	(1) Scott Lang 4.5/1, Fairly useful winner at 13f on Flat. Fair form both starts over hurdles, latterly when third in a Punchestown maiden (16.2f) in June. Not at best in couple of starts on Flat subsequently but not out of things returned to timber. Unplaced on last two Flat starts, placed on both attempts over hurdles, should go close.
4	7 4th (7) (1.38/1 +8%) Weseekherthere	1.38 1.38/1(+8%)	(7) Weseekherthere 1.38/1, Opened account in a Roscommon bumper in June and matched previous hurdles best when third in a Ballinrobe maiden (17f) 16 days ago, outpaced 2 out and plugging on. Step back up in trip a plus and good showing anticipated. Bumper winner at Roscommon, 2m1f looked inadequate at Ballinrobe, good opportunity now.
5th	4 5th (4) (12/1 +14%) Mo Chruinne	12 12/1(+14%)	(4) Mo Chruinne 12/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. 10/1, sixth of 16 in novice hurdle at Kilbeggan (18f, soft) 20 days ago, left in the frame last and no extra. Another likely type for handicaps later on. Moderate sixth at Kilbeggan, in action in the 5.30 at Roscommon on Tuesday.
3	3 \|U\| (3) (3/1 -50%) Attaboyarchie	3 3/1(-50%)	(3) Attaboyarchie 3/1, Fairly useful maiden in bumpers who bettered recent efforts over hurdles when fourth in an 8-runner Wexford maiden (20f) in May. Placed in two bumpers, one good run over hurdles early in his career, questions to answer.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (150/1 -127%) Take A March	150 150/1(-127%)	(6) Take A March 150/1, Once-raced maiden. Hooded, last of 22 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (20f, good to soft, 250/1) on NH debut 172 days ago. Easy enough to look elsewhere. Completely tailed off in a 2m4f maiden hurdle at Punchestown on his only start last season.

LTO Selection:

WESEEKHERTHERE has run well enough on three starts over hurdles to suggest she is capable of winning a race of this nature. The Gordon Elliott-trained four-year-old showed up nicely in two maidens before winning her bumper at Roscommon in June. There was again, plenty to take from a staying on third back over flights at Ballinrobe last time. Winning Flat handicapper Scott Lang has reached the frame on his only two runs over hurdles to date. The Paul Flynn-trained six-year-old has to concede weight all round but should be good enough to make his presence felt. Attaboyarchie has the highest official rating of those to have received a mark, while his jockey can claim 7lb. The Imperial Monarch gelding was a beaten favourite at Wexford last time but is a capable sort on his best form.

WESEEKHERTHERE matched her previous best over hurdles despite shaping as though the drop in trip was against her when third in a Ballinrobe maiden 16 days ago and, with this rating a more suitable test, she looks likely to make a bold bid. Attaboyarchie is a player on the pick of his form, and along with Scott Lang, heads up the dangers.

19:35 Sligo Handicap Hurdle 20f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	13 1st (13) (5.5/1 +15%) Emily In Paris	5.5 5.5/1(+15%)	(13) Emily In Paris 5.5/1, Didn't need to improve to win 15-runner novice hurdle at Killarney (22.8f, good, 7/4) 20 days ago, getting up late. May have a bigger performance in her but this drop in trip isn't in her favour. Useful form over staying trips, deserved her maiden win after solid handicap efforts.
2	8 2nd (8) (5.5/1 +21%) Junior Rattler	5.5 5.5/1(+21%)	(8) Junior Rattler 5.5/1, Second of 8 in handicap chase (6/1) at Kilbeggan (19f, soft) 20 days ago, running on. Switches from chase to hurdles.

5th	6 5th (6) (8.5/1 +47%) Delante	8.5 8.5/1(+47%)	(6) Delante 8.5/1, Thirteenth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Galway (16.5f, good to soft, 22/1) 8 days ago. Back up in trip. Others make more appeal. A bit to find with Influential Lady on Galway running, ran well over 2m1f here last month.
6th	11 6th (11) (5.5/1 -22%) True Destiny	5.5 5.5/1(-22%)	(11) True Destiny 5.5/1, C&D winner. Last of 16 in handicap (25/1) at Galway (14.1f, good to soft) 6 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Very good on last hurdle outing. Expected to be bang there. Winner here in June and second at Kilbeggan next start, in rear on the Flat at Galway.
7th	2 7th (2) (9/1 -157%) The Four Sixes	9 9/1(-157%)	(2) The Four Sixes 9/1, Thrice-raced winner under NH rules. Pulled up in minor event hurdle (4/1) at Fairyhouse (20.2f, soft)t. Off 8 months. Remains with potential and won fresh last season, so interesting handicap debutant. Maiden winner last November, given a break after a poor run at Fairyhouse, interesting.
8th	9 8th (9) (6/1 +45%) Clifftop	6 6/1(+45%)	(9) Clifftop 6/1, 17/2, very good second of 14 in novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (17f, good) 16 days ago. Remains of interest back in handicap company. Three Flat wins, maiden over hurdles, more on her plate than at Ballinrobe last time.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (7.5/1 +46%) Lady Of The Vale	7.5 7.5/1(+46%)	(5) Lady Of The Vale 7.5/1, Latest win in hurdle at Tipperary in May. 6/1, respectable second of 8 in novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (17f, good) 16 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Tipperary maiden winner over 2m, limitations exposed since in novice races, handicap debut.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (8/1 +50%) Typical Thomas	8 8/1(+50%)	(3) Typical Thomas 8/1, 16/1, fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (19f, soft) 27 days ago. Well treated if he can build on that. Decent form in conditions races last October, hard to fancy on this year's handicap form.
12	12 \|PU\| (12) (25/1 +11%) General Maximus	25 25/1(+11%)	(12) General Maximus 25/1, 28/1 and hooded for 1st time, first run since leaving Gordon Elliott when below form fourth of 14 in novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (17f, good) 16 days ago. Something to prove. Not a bad effort in a maiden on stable/seasonal debut but others have stronger credentials.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (28/1 -100%) Eco Pete	28 28/1(-100%)	(7) Eco Pete 28/1, 11/1, below form third of 7 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (24.4f, good) 52 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Not easy to make a case for. Remote last of three finishers at Kilbeggan in his first handicap, up against it.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (66/1 -136%) Eat The Book	66 66/1(-136%)	(4) Eat The Book 66/1, 13/2, eleventh of 12 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (24.2f, good to soft). Off 15 months. First run for yard after leaving David Peter Dunne. Has work to do. Veteran rider partnered him to victory at Kilbeggan last year, lengthy absence to overcome.

LTO Selection:

THE FOUR SIXES disappointed when pulled up at Fairyhouse in December but a reproduction of his maiden hurdle win at Clonmel the previous month would make him the one to beat here. The runner-up went on to win his next two starts and is now rated 135, while the third won a competitive handicap at Galway last week. If fit and ready after an absence, the Gordon Elliott-trained five-year-old looks nicely handicapped in this grade. Delante failed to give her running at Galway but the Tom Copper-trained mare went close at this track on her penultimate start. Perhaps, a return to familiar terrain will see the daughter of Walk In The Park in a better light. Junior Rattler stayed on nicely when second at Kilbeggan on his reappearance last month. The Oliver McKiernan-trained gelding should be sharper for that run, so rates a danger under Philip Enright.

TRUE DESTINY was on the up over hurdles in June and, despite a poor run on the Flat at Galway last week, he's worth a chance to gain another C&D success at the possible expense of Clifftop, who ran well in a novice at Ballinrobe 16 days ago. The Four Sixes is one to monitor in the betting on return.

If forgiven a poor run at Fairyhouse in December THE FOUR SIXES has strong claims in this grade based on a Clonmel maiden win

20:05 Sligo NH Flat Race 18f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	3 1st (3) (5/1 -11%) I Am Shadow	5 5/1(-11%)	(3) I Am Shadow 5/1, Remains a maiden after 8 bumper runs. Creditable third of 13 in bumper (11/1) at Wexford (20.7f, good to soft) 34 days ago. Respected for all that she's vulnerable to less-exposed types. Consistent mare ground-versatile and a definite contender.
2	1 2nd (1) (14/1 -133%) Adela Icon	14 14/1(-133%)	(1) Adela Icon 14/1, Twice-raced maiden. Second of 11 in bumper at Ballinrobe (15.5f, good, 66/1) 16 days ago. Should give another good account. Much improved on recent Ballinrobe comeback when second; sure to go well.
3	6 3rd (6) (0.44/1 +52%) Mount Sinai	0.44 0.44/1(+52%)	(6) Mount Sinai 0.44/1, Mount Nelson mare. Half-sister to useful 19f bumper winner/hurdler Seabank Bistro, stays 3m. Has found a good opportunity on debut and should take all the beating. Yard continues with 65% strike rate in bumpers and major respect on debut.
4	9 4th (9) (7/1 +36%) Sleep Sound	7 7/1(+36%)	(9) Sleep Sound 7/1, Once-raced maiden. Third of 16 in novice hurdle (50/1) at Kilbeggan (19f, soft) on NH debut 27 days ago. Makes bumpers debut. Not discounted. Promising Kilbeggan debut; yard in hot form and no surprise if she played a major role.
5th	2 5th (2) (40/1 +20%) French Milan	40 40/1(+20%)	(2) French Milan 40/1, Twice-raced maiden. 40/1, last of 11 in bumper at Limerick (19f, soft) 14 days ago. Mild debut promise at Roscommon last month but well held at Limerick on softer ground.
6th	8 6th (8) (28/1 +44%) Phildante	28 28/1(+44%)	(8) Phildante 28/1, Getaway mare. Dam modest 2¾m hurdle winner. Not an obvious sort on paper. Getaway mare is second foal of a 2m6f hurdle winner; unlikely debut winner.
7th	10 7th (10) (14/1 -17%) River Robe	14 14/1(-17%)	(10) River Robe 14/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. Third of 11 in bumper at Roscommon (15.5f, good to soft, 20/1) 31 days ago. Not completely ruled out for all that she'll need to improve. Small steps forward on her three runs, further improvement could see her in the shakeup.
8th	11 8th (11) (40/1 +0%) Sheemore	40 40/1(+0%)	(11) Sheemore 40/1, Once-raced maiden. 14/1, fifth of 7 in bumper at Downpatrick (17.3f, good) on NH debut 53 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Patrick Martin. Others make more appeal. Too keen and saddle slipped on Downpatrick debut for Pat Martin; since changed yards.
9th	7 9th (7) (22/1 -83%) Next Question	22 22/1(-83%)	(7) Next Question 22/1, Dylan Thomas mare. Half-sister to fair hurdler Hardwired, stays 25f. Likely to need more time and distance. Half-sister to yard's hurdles winner Hardwired; likely all the better for this debut run.
10th	4 10th (4) (150/1 -127%) Lady Goliath	150 150/1(-127%)	(4) Lady Goliath 150/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eleventh of 12 in bumper at Fairyhouse (16f, good to soft, 100/1). Off 15 months. Well beaten in all five bumpers.

LTO Selection:

MOUNT SINAI, a half-sister to a gelding that won his bumper first time out before finishing fourth in the Cheltenham Grade 1 bumper, is obviously interesting on debut. Like the aforementioned, she also represents the Willie Mullins stable, so is certain to know her job on racecourse debut. It would be no surprise to see the daughter of Mount Nelson make a winning start to her career at a track where her trainer does exceptionally well. Adela Icon showed precious little on her initial outing at Fairyhouse in December but subsequently made a hot favourite pull out all the stops when just being denied at Ballinrobe. A reproduction of that latter effort would make the David Harry Kelly-trained mare a serious contender. Sleep Sound shaped well on her debut when third over hurdles at Kilbeggan last month so has to be respected now switching to a bumper for her in-form trainer.

MOUNT SINAI is with a top yard and related to a bumper winner, so she's worth chancing to make a successful start in a race where the bar isn't set all that high by those with experience. Adela Icon and I Am Shadow might well fight it out if the selection doesn't come up to expectations.

The Willie Mullins-trained MOUNT SINAI, a half-sister to the yard's debut bumper winner Seabank Bistro, gets the vote on debut

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses.
