8:00 Sligo Tips

Been knocking on the win door recently with his improved form, and tonight looks a good opportunity as he gets weight from the recent winners in the race.

SONNY CORLEONE has not been placed in a race from four starts seventh over 1m 4f at Dundalk on his latest outing last month upped in trip to 1m 5f should suit seems well treated and could well be able to win this race

Grey Intentions has been showing glimpses of quality throughout the last three or four outings. Has also been slightly increasing in trip, seemingly tactically, and goes up again to this 1m 5½f trip here today where more time will be allowed for what have become habitual slow starts. This one looks wide open and is primed to be picked off by a winner deeper down the board. I think we have a lively one here.

By capitalising on a considerable step up in distance and benefiting from a 5lb weight allowance from jockey Rory Mulligan, she could very well finish in the places at 20/1.

Mare Crisium was well beaten in three maidens and a claimer but found improvement to finish 4th on handicap debut at Ballinrobe last month when beaten just two lengths. She is off the same mark here, and the extra 3 furlongs are likely to bring more improvement. She looks a good each-way bet at these odds.

He flopped completely 47 days ago at Limerick, finishing a distant 9th of 12. However, his previous fourth-place run at Ballinrobe came on a fast, good-ground surface. Trainer Kevin Thomas Coleman applies first-time cheekpieces today. Despite his price tag, elite jockey Dylan Browne McMonagle is booked to ride. A high-win-rate rider taking the reins on a deep outsider indicates the stable expects rapid, aggressive improvement on the surface switch.

Finished down the field in the few runs so far but now there`s a change of distance which appeals to pedigree and could see this selection fair much better.
