Sligo 7.35

 

This race should be and most likely will be dominated by The Four Sixes and True Destiny. The former though has been off 250 days and a bit to prove at the trip and the latter is upped 9lbs although it is 2/2 here over Course and Distance winning off marks of 93 and 95. I'll also be happy to oppose Emily In Paris, another who may be in the grip of the handicapper and who will surely find the trip on the sharp side.

 

At big oddsI wouldn't discount a big run from Influential Lady who runs with a penalty and who may be better over fences but perfectly capable of taking a hand over hurdles.

 

I particularly like JUNIOR RATTLER who looks ready to win and really has no excuses at this trip, in this Going and off today's mark, a very strong place shout at the very least. I rate it marginally better than LADY OF THE VALE who has indicated a few times that this sort of trip may be ideal and I'll be disappointed if it doesn't go very close here. For some shrapnel if you wish my clear 3rd rated is CLIFFTOP a Flat winner and who has stayed on over this trip recently enough to suggest it can pick up a small race of this type.
