6:55 Sligo Tips

He won on his only bumper start but hasn't found the same form over hurdles or on the flat. He did finish 2nd in a maiden hurdle at Downpatrick last year, and he placed again in a handicap hurdle race last time out. He drops into maiden company over hurdles for the first time since September, and he has a good chance in this field.

Ivana Dalco appeals as the standout in this contest. Representing the powerful Willie Mullins yard, she has the class and connections to make a winning return if reproducing her best form. Sligo is a track where the stable enjoys plenty of success, and this looks a good opportunity to add another winner.

Fox Walk is an interesting one in this maiden hurdle, particularly because he won his latest point-to-point over 3m by 2 lengths and now has Darragh O'Keeffe booked, who has a 13% strike rate. He has no Rules experience, and today's 2m4f hurdle is a test, but with his point runs he looks good here.

Lots of unknowns and dodgy-looking form in this race, so I'm taking a chance with the newcomer at decent odds. Would've been closer last time but was hampered. Worth a look.
