UK Horse Racing Tips: Sligo

VOLATILE LADY acquitted herself with great credit when placed at the Galway Festival 10 days ago and this appeals as being the ideal opportunity for Brendan Duke's filly to gain her first hurdles success. Misty Mountain is likely to produce another bold bid from the front and, along with Traidisiun, who finished fourth on her hurdles bow at Kilbeggan, could give the selection plenty to think about.
Prediction : 1st Volatile Lady 2nd Misty Mountain 3rd Traidisiun

RIP ROCKS PADDY OK was still in contention when the saddle slipped and gave Darragh O'Keeffe no chance at the Galway Festival. He had won his maiden hurdle prior to that at Cork and appears to be going the right way in this sphere. Hammerstein wasn't disgraced on his latest start at Downpatrick, despite finishing last of three, and he enters calculations along with Construct, who made a winning debut over timber at the same meeting.
Prediction : 1st Rip Rocks Paddy Ok 2nd Hammerstein 3rd Construct

BENEFIT RUN gained his first career success over 2m here on his most recent outing and Ross O'Sullivan's gelding is of interest moving into handicap company for the first time. Ard Na Carraig went down by a nose at Limerick when last seen and is entitled to be in the mix despite a 4lb rise from the handicapper, while Give Battle sports cheekpieces for the first time after placing on his last three outings.
Prediction : 1st Benefit Run 2nd Ard Na Carraig 3rd Give Battle

CITY LIMITS has been knocking on the door on his last couple of starts, including when second on handicap debut here last month, and the son of Nathaniel could have more to offer on his first attempt at 3m. Theatre World is respected on his first outing for 328 days on the evidence of his last two efforts in handicaps, while Hello Pilgrim completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st City Limits 2nd Theatre World 3rd Hello Pilgrim

STEEL CAP shaped like a slight step up in trip might suit when second at Downpatrick just over three weeks ago and Gordon Elliott's charge has been presented with an ideal opening in which to strike. The seven-year-old should have more to offer over hurdles before switching to the larger obstacles. Dollar Value is unexposed in this sphere and makes some appeal, while Westport Lady is of interest back from a 194-day absence.
Prediction : 1st Steel Cap 2nd Dollar Value 3rd Westport Lady

Decor Irlandais deserves respect chasing a hat-trick, although those last two successes have come in lesser races in the UK and an opening handicap mark of 132 back on home soil doesn't appear to be overly generous. Trendsetter and Pump Road both have history over this C&D and enter calculations, but so does recent Limerick runner-up FLEURYS FORT. He lost very little in defeat last time and drying ground would seriously boost his claims off just 1lb higher.
Prediction : 1st Fleurys Fort 2nd Decor Irlandais 3rd Pump Road

ZOLA took a big step forward from her Ballinrobe debut when finishing second at Wexford a couple of months later on her first start for Willie Mullins, and further improvement would see the five-year-old open her account at the third time of asking. Related to a few smart types, the daughter of Court Cave appeals more than Bonarc, who interestingly represents last year's winning connections. It Takes Time is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Zola 2nd Bonarc 3rd It Takes Time
