AJayy77

Won this race last year off a mark of 87, and today is 4 lb lighter, well inside his winning band of 77??"87. A proven Class 4 performer with four wins from eight starts at the level and a solid York record, the stiff 1m 4f suits him perfectly. The 40-day break should freshen him up after a below-par April return, though he showed he retains ability when runner-up at Kempton.

Binhareer won the Coral Sprint Trophy over C&D last October by 2¾ lengths on good ground under Tom Marquand, off a mark of 89. Now rated 99 with a peak RPR of 110, he could be as much as 11 lb well-in for this 22-runner sprint handicap. Still progressive, York's stiff six furlongs suits his tactical speed and front-running style perfectly. Yard in top form and Marquand rides, proven at the track, trip and ground. He seems a steal at 8/1.

The Miracle Man is a proven Sligo course winner who has consistently placed this past season over 2m 4f ??" 3m trips. He handles the ground well, and the step up to 3m 2f looks ideal. Donagh Meyler knows him well. Coming off solid recent runs, he is the one to beat today.

Ladium is a genuine Sligo specialist with two previous course wins. He has shown good recent form with placed efforts and returns here just 3 lb above his last winning mark. He stays the trip well, and the tongue tie is a positive. Strong chance.

Steps up to 1m1/2f after finishing third at Kempton last month over 1m on polytrack, beaten 1 1/2 lengths by Freda. Course and distance form is 1 from 1. By Bangkok out of a Nayef mare, with Oisin Murphy booked, this progressive three-year-old filly looks the one to beat.

Returns to 7½f after finishing eleventh at Naas last month over 6f on good ground, beaten 6 lengths by Amiata. The step back up in trip is ideal after winning at Dundalk over 7f in December off 72, and Sam Coen is 2 from 2 in the frame on him. By Cotai Glory out of an Acclamation mare, this well-handicapped three??'year??'old looks overpriced.

Thriving mare who has won both recent starts here, including over C&D. Comes here in excellent order, loves the track, and looks well treated off her current mark.

Steps up to 3m after winning at Down Royal last month over 2m 6f on good, beating Hitthehayson by 7 lengths. The 7 lb rise is offset by Alan O'Sullivan's claim. By Yeats out of a staying mare, this progressive six-year-old looks the one to beat.
