UK Horse Racing Tips: Sligo

GET ME TO THE PARK faces a fair task on hurdling debut giving weight to experienced rivals but showed nice ability on debut. Homebred by her owner with a useful jumps pedigree, the form of her Downpatrick win was nothing special but she should progress and will be well schooled. Bella Bliss and Dinero Falso, which runs in first-time cheekpieces, are both experienced hurdlers who receive weight from the selection but are vulnerable to capable types. Elusive Sea was well held at Kilbeggan and needs to improve while Balum has shown some form in bumpers and debuts over jumps. Angelsworknovrtime wasn't beaten far over course and distance recently.
Prediction : 1st Get Me To The Park 2nd Bella Bliss 3rd Dinero Falso

MARY MEEHAN ran well on handicap debut over course and distance 13 days ago. Her form had been in-and-out prior to dropping to handicap company recently, and while 6lb worse off with Presenting Lad (whom she beat 4.75 lengths), is open to further progression over jumps. Presenting Lad is consistent and sure to run another solid race but has won just once in 21 starts. One-time smart flat performer Big Kitten is a late-comer to hurdling. Beaten out of sight in four hurdles, he wasn't beaten too far at the Curragh in June and while he can win over jumps, might improve from this handicap debut. Applejack Poet is a brother to capable One Cool Poet and while yet to show worthwhile form, is interesting on handicap debut. Willyouwalkwithme is a dual winner with place claims.
Prediction : 1st Mary Meehan 2nd Presenting Lad 3rd Big Kitten

THE GREY MONTY won a point-to-point on debut and ran well over a slightly shorter trip here 13 days ago. Bought for 95,000 pounds following her points win for Declan Queally, she acted up when slowly away on hurdles debut at Kilbeggan but has done well since and a reproduction of her latest run would give her every chance, with the extra distance to suit. Beavis similarly finished third here 13 days ago and being less exposed, is open to more improvement. Single Edition made the running to win a Down Royal bumper and should benefit from last month's course hurdle debut. State Of Fame is a course bumper winner who has useful hurdles form but gives away a winners' penalty. Dual flat winner Female Approach also carries a penalty but wasn't beaten far at Cork recently. Ladiam has sound place claims while Golden Armour was pulled up at Roscommon and is on a retrieval mission.
Prediction : 1st The Grey Monty 2nd Beavis 3rd Single Edition

HE'S LEADING ME ON is consistent, won well at Tramore last Thursday and is officially 2lb well-in. Out of an unraced sister to Newmill, HE'S LEADING ME ON seemed to improve when winning over this distance at Tramore and while a quick reappearance isn't ideal, he can continue progressing, being a five year old. Sphagnum, another improving five year old, is also well suited by this distance and while he competes from 4lb higher than when runner-up at Killarney, should run well. It's Time Again has won twice this summer and while dropping in trip isn't ideal, has solid place claims. Ballinlough Gale has yet to win in eight hurdle runs but ran well here 13 days ago, while Zaccarela is a 16-race maiden who runs in a first-time tongue-tie.
Prediction : 1st Hes Leading Me On 2nd Sphagnum 3rd Its Time Again

Gary Noonan takes a useful 7lb off the back of top-weight THE GREY LAD and he may be able to strike again on the Paul Flynn-trained gelding. He was on board when the grey opened his account in good style at Down Royal in early June and the Fame And Glory gelding ran well at Killarney last month when chasing home Vale Of Glory. He's still relatively unexposed with seven career outings and may still have another win in him despite a 4lb rise for his last run. It's a competitive event and the consistent Hophornbeam could be a danger. She ran well when fourth at Galway last time and is just a pound higher now. Fassbender didn't run too badly on the level here last time and back over hurdles he's another one that has to come into the mix.
Prediction : 1st The Grey Lad 2nd Hophornbeam 3rd Fassbender

It's no surprise to see connections try FRAZEL EXPRESS over this trip given the way she finished on her last visit to the track. The Yeats filly ran on to grab second over two-and-a-half at the venue 13 days ago. She hasn't tried three miles before but it looks worth a shot on the evidence of her latest effort. Hascoeur Clermont reverts to hurdling having unseated on his chase debut at Tipperary last month. He had been a good winner over timber at Bellewstown prior to that, when tackling three miles for the first time on the racecourse. Memorable Daise needs to step up on recent efforts but it's dangerous to dismiss Willie Mullins-trained runners in this grade.
Prediction : 1st Frazel Express 2nd Hascoeur Clermont 3rd Memorable Daise

WESTERN COMANDOR has run a couple of nice races on his two outings to date and may be able to get his head in front now. The John Ryan-trained gelding lost out by just a head on his debut at Ballinrobe when not getting the clearest of runs before finishing fourth in a decent looking contest at Galway. He's shown enough to give him a big shout in this. Ginnets Girl shaped with promise when fourth on her debut at Ballinrobe and could be a danger now with that experience under belt. Unbridled Power was keen and green on his debut at Cork and is another that could improve now.
Prediction : 1st Western Comandor 2nd Ginnets Girl 3rd Unbridled Power
