7:30 Sligo Tips

No comment made

Smallcraftwarning has won 3 of his 33 starts and looks interesting here back over hurdles, having finished 3rd of 8 over fences last month. He is 4 lbs higher than his last win, but his useful amateur takes off 7 lbs. He looks like a good each-way bet with 5 places on offer.

Spellacys Cross is racing off a winning mark and has ground conditions in his favor. He should also have the race run to suit, with plenty of pace in the race for him to aim at.

She was sixth in December at Punchestown and was badly hampered last month when finishing eighth in an eighteen-runner handicap hurdle. I do think a clear run tonight will see her fortunes improve, and I think Walking In Mayo will finish in the first five.

The horse won a handicap hurdle at Thurles in February. Sent chasing next time out and finished a fair third of thirteen over a shorter trip. Back over hurdles today, off the same handicap mark, it should be refreshed after a four-month rest. The claiming jockey had a 20/1 winner yesterday, his third first prize in the last seven rides.

This looked like it was going to win its first race until the saddle slipped, then it unseated the rider in the last moments of the race. Decent enough price to have an each-way bet on here.

Has shown enough in more than one maiden hurdle race to be of interest here. Although he ran a rare poor race and was pulled up on his only previous sojourn into handicap company, he deserves another chance, and today's trip could elicit more.

Veteran gelding returns to Sligo. Proven C&D winner, now 9 lb lower. Despite the 7 lb claimer’s poor recent strike rate, his class edge makes him the selection to win.

Fame and Glory mare, a seven-time winner, ran a respectable 5th of 18 on her reappearance last month. She drops another 2 lb today, putting her 7 lb below her last winning mark. She could go closer today.

He has a good record over hurdles with a win and four placed efforts across eight runs. That win came at Galway in 2023, which does temper enthusiasm. However, the ground is the making of him, having withdrawn a commitment at Ballinrobe due to injury.
