UK Horse Racing Tips: Sligo

INFLECTION POINT has done most of his racing on the all-weather in recent times but looks good enough to win this back on the turf. He ran well in a claimer at Dundalk when last seen in late March and even off his lower grass mark of 64 he looks the pick in this company. It'll Do My Day comes out well treated at the weights and looks the danger. The grey hasn't made much impression in big field handicaps on his last couple of outings but did run well a few times this year, including when second at Bellewstown. The 62-rated Hurricane Helen is another who could be given a shout here and could be place material.
Prediction : 1st Inflection Point 2nd Itll Do My Day 3rd Hurricane Helen

MASTER GARVEY ran well to finish third here 16 days ago and may be able to strike now. The Dragon Pulse gelding stayed on well then from off the pace and has a better draw this time in stall five. He may be able to confirm form with the fourth-placed horse Senado Square. Andy Slattery's charge made his move turning for home the last day before fading late on. He was widest of all last time and the draw hasn't been kind again. Asgard's Captain ran well on his handicap debut at Dundalk last month and is still unexposed. He could be a big player now.
Prediction : 1st Master Garvey 2nd Senado Square 3rd Asgards Captain

BLAZING SUNSET ran well in a decent maiden on his sole start at Killarney last July and should be good enough to win on his return. The Bated Breath colt missed the kick a bit on debut but stayed on nicely at the business end when fourth to Alder. That form has worked out well since with the winner second in the Dee Stakes at Chester the other day. The runner-up Hiawatha was group placed subsequently while the third horse Valiant King won easily at Navan on Saturday. Golden Temple sets the standard off a mark of 80 and has to be respected on the pick of his form last season. The Great Kingdom is an interesting debutant for Joseph O'Brien. The Dream Ahead gelding is a half-brother to St Leger winner Galileo Chrome.
Prediction : 1st Blazing Sunset 2nd Golden Temple 3rd The Great Kingdom

There may be more to come from TEA OLIVE stepping up in trip. The Mukhadram filly got up late on to pip Duke Of Leggagh at Gowran Park last month in a tight finish. The form has received a boost since with the third-placed Semblance Of Order winning a maiden at this track. A 5lb rise for that victory doesn't look harsh. Whisky On The Hill is the other last time out winner in the field, having scored over course and distance 16 days ago. He won with a bit in hand then so has to be respected despite a 8lb hike. Picture Of A City ran well on his handicap debut when fourth at Leopardstown and may appreciate dropping back a bit in trip here. He looks like another for the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Tea Olive 2nd Whisky On The Hill 3rd Picture Of A City

The in-foal PERSIAN QUEEN may be able to bag another win before heading to the paddocks. She landed a serious gamble at Cork last time in testing conditions and connections will be hoping the juice stays in the ground today. She won with a nice bit in hand last time and a 10lb hike may not be enough to stop her following up. Tellthemi'mhere comes here on a hat-trick and was a good winner over course and distance 16 days ago. She is another trying to defy a 10lb hike and has to be respected. The top-weight Sir Antonino won twice last season, including at the Galway festival. His best form was on nice ground so any drying will be in his favour.
Prediction : 1st Persian Queen 2nd Tellthemimhere 3rd Sir Antonino

MARVELOSA sets the standard here off a mark of 75 and this looks a nice opportunity to get her head in front. The Ribchester filly was runner-up in handicap company here 16 days ago and a similar run may be enough to make the breakthrough at the 11th attempt. Isotta, rated 69, has been runner-up three times from seven outings and looks an obvious danger. Cara Susanna has a few solid enough runs and has a mark of 67. She is fitted with blinkers now and Oisin Enright takes 10lb off her back to leave her on a nice weight.
Prediction : 1st Marvelosa 2nd Isotta 3rd Cara Susanna

RATTLE AND HUM ran well on his return to action at Cork last month and should be able to open his account in a moderate enough looking maiden. The New Bay gelding stayed on well to press Matt Connor close home and get within a neck. Stepping up in trip now looks like it should suit. His trainer Joseph O'Brien also saddles Rapparee Champ and money for him would be noteworthy. The Churchill colt is a half-brother to listed winner Fernando Vichi. Chicago Storm ran well on his first start for Peter Fahey when fifth to Party Central at Gowran Park last month. He looks capable of getting involved for the minor money now.
Prediction : 1st Rattle And Hum 2nd Rapparee Champ 3rd Chicago Storm
