UK Horse Racing Tips: Sligo

MOUNT SINAI is expected to bounce back on her first try in these calmer waters. The grey mare has somewhat lost her way on her last couple of starts in beginners chases. However, her chasing debut at this venue was encouraging and a return to that kind of form should see her prove successful here. A previous winner of this race in 2023, Must Meet Cecil provides a solid option, especially in this grade where he has recorded most of his victories. The seven-year-old gelding has recently moved back to Cian Collins' and his last run, in a competitive Galway handicap, can be forgiven. Oh So Charming completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Mount Sinai 2nd Must Meet Cecil 3rd Oh So Charming

EYE OF A TIGER looks to break her duck at the fourth attempt after three solid placed efforts. John Ryan's charge arguably went for home too soon on her last start at Kilbeggan and just got swallowed up after the last, but this forward-going daughter of Lauro has plenty of speed which should suit this track along with the more sympathetic straight. Doyentoseeyou is one to watch on debut and any market moves beforehand would be of interest, while Whispering Hopes appears best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Eye Of A Tiger 2nd Doyentoseeyou 3rd Whispering Hopes

Gordon Elliott appears to have found an ideal opportunity for the consistent CHORTAL to get his head in front again. The Golden Horn gelding chased home the exciting Davy Crockett at Galway and looks to avail of both the four-year-old allowance and Finn Brickley's 7lb claim. Spick And Span finally broke her duck at the 20th attempt and the well-bred daughter of Walk In The Park could kick on from that success. Huntsgrove and Spy renew rivalries after a recent close finish at Ballinrobe and the former may be able to reverse placings, especially if he can improve his jumping.
Prediction : 1st Chortal 2nd Spick And Span 3rd Huntsgrove

CHANCER DANCER aims to build on her latest impressive success and double her overall career tally. Noel Kelly's charge scored by eight and a half lengths, beating a subsequent winner comprehensively, and she may well have more to offer. Torquay Road can continue his consistent string of efforts. The form of his last two starts are working out well as he has finished near recent Galway winner Jerrari. Michael McNiff's runners are always of interest at this venue and his duo of Colorado Charlie and Moulane West certainly catch the eye, with the former just marginally preferred. An eye must also be kept on the market regarding Eastmore.
Prediction : 1st Chancer Dancer 2nd Torquay Road 3rd Colorado Charlie

VROOMVROOMBOO wasn't beaten far when third in a competitive mares' handicap at Cork most recently and looks the one to be with as she drops back into maiden company. Lord Ffrench also commands respect on just his second start over hurdles, while Luck Between Us is another potential improver that could build on last month's debut run at Roscommon.
Prediction : 1st Vroomvroomboo 2nd Lord Ffrench 3rd Luck Between Us

Emily In Paris won this in 2023 and is back after failing to get home over further here last month. She can go well, but the vote goes to GREAT OCEAN. A winner over fences last October but well beaten in June, the switch to hurdles off 17lb lower looks a shrewd move. Boston Rajj is hard to ignore but has a career-high mark to contend with.
Prediction : 1st Great Ocean 2nd Emily In Paris 3rd Boston Rajj

Expresso Tini upped her game when finishing second at Wexford last month and any further improvement is likely to see her involved once more. However, SHADOWS OF MY MIND filled the same spot on her debut at Tipperary last October and she could prove tough to topple on her stable bow for Willie Mullins. The up-in-distance Barra Rua may fare best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Shadows Of My Mind 2nd Expresso Tini 3rd Barra Rua
