UK Horse Racing Tips: Sligo

Timandi won at Tramore at this level prior to finishing runner-up at Killarney. She could feature again, but GLITTERING GEM has plenty of scope for improvement. Dermot Weld's Frankel filly was making her belated seasonal debut when third at Killarney last month and, with that pipe-opener under her belt and Sam Coen taking 5lb off her back, she gets the nod. Shemiyka and Taj Crown could also shape well.
Prediction : 1st Glittering Gem 2nd Timandi 3rd Shemiyka

CHICA GUERRERA found the competition too hot in a valuable contest at Galway last week. An easy winner over this distance at Down Royal before that, Mark Fahey's progressive filly gets another chance. Spanish Temptress has a similar profile to the selection and is likely to prove competitive once again, while the returning duo Cornelienne and Alice Monet represent powerful connections and are worth monitoring in the market.
Prediction : 1st Chica Guerrera 2nd Spanish Temptress 3rd Cornelienne

LADY PATRONA has shown enough to suggest she can win at this level. Her fourth at Naas last time looks stronger in hindsight, given the winner has since gone close in Listed company and the runner-up has subsequently won, so Jessica Harrington's inmate could be the one to side with. Roeillaun showed a bit more at Cork on her latest start and she merits consideration, along with likely improver The Green Helmet.
Prediction : 1st Lady Patrona 2nd Roeillaun 3rd The Green Helmet

TATIANNA got off the mark in fine style at Down Royal last month and can follow up that success, despite a 6lb rise. Mr Montauk was hampered before eventually finish third in that race and he can get closer to the selection off an unchanged mark. Several of the rest are open to improvement, and Hi Corbett Court and Two Brigade are nursery debutants with each-way chances.
Prediction : 1st Tatianna 2nd Mr Montauk 3rd Hi Corbett Court

GLEN BREEZE was caught out by stepping up to 7f at Gowran Park 11 days ago and is better judged on when he was a cosy winner at Limerick on his penultimate start. Back down in trip, he could be hard to beat. Dubai Opulence is the pick of the rest but support in the betting for Beau Army or Apothic Red would be dangerous to ignore.
Prediction : 1st Glen Breeze 2nd Dubai Opulence 3rd Beau Army

A ready winner at Killarney on just her second start in a handicap, CHICAGO MOON is hard to oppose. Seemingly sharpened up by the retained cheekpieces on that occasion, a 9lb rise looks manageable given the convincing manner of that performance. Private Larry has been over hurdles since he won at Bellewstown last month and his strong constitution makes him a key player. Queen Of Astolat and Canon Law are the pick of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Chicago Moon 2nd Private Larry 3rd Queen Of Astolat

REFLECTIONIST heads the shortlist after a highly-convincing win at Ballinrobe last month. Ridden confidently with first-time cheekpieces added, Mark Fahey's gelding had plenty in hand that day and he can shine again with this not looking much tougher. The hat-trick seeking Deluca Chop and Without Love are other in-form contenders to keep an eye on, while Eastern Wind is also considered.
Prediction : 1st Reflectionist 2nd Deluca Chop 3rd Without Love
