Sligo

Just won at Wexford 34 days ago, the second-most recent breakthrough in the field, and carries a remarkable 33% win rate on good ground from just three starts. The 8th place eight days after the win is a concern, but he's proven he can break through on this surface.

Just won at Downpatrick 53 days ago, the only recent breakthrough in the field, and placed fourth eight days after that. This mare has been improving through 16 races and looks sharper than her overall 6% win rate suggests, but unproven at this distance and track.

Winless from six races with no places, and hasn't raced in 62 days after a pulled-up effort at Clonmel. The eleventh-place finish in between suggests when this horse does show up lately, it's to finish well off the pace.

Winless from ten races with only a single place to show, and the recent Sligo 6th (25 days ago) and Clonmel 8th are unremarkable efforts. At five years old, she's had enough chances to show what she can do, and the answer so far is: not much.

Has won at this track and distance (May 2025), giving him genuine local credentials that others lack. But he's 10 years old, winless from 36 races otherwise, and finishing 9th and 10th in his last two Sligo runs suggests that previous victory may not tell the whole story.

Winless from 14 races with only two places to show for it, and recent form is genuinely poor—5th at Kilbeggan, then unseat and pulled-up before that. At five years old, the evidence says this horse cannot find winning form at this level.

The editorial selection and rightfully so—this 10-year-old is the only horse with a course-and-distance win record worth noting (1 from 3 at this trip). Recent form is messy (9th, pulled-up, 4th), but at normal ground he has the best track record of any runner here, and experience counts over two miles two furlongs.

At four years old, this filly is among the youngest and rawest in a competitive race, and has never placed from six starts—finishing no better than fifth. The recent form of 11-11 at Roscommon and Downpatrick spells out a horse still searching for her level.

Only five career races and winless in all of them, with large blanks in the form suggesting missing data on recent runs. At five years old and relatively inexperienced, this horse is still looking for its level against opponents with far more race-ready profiles.

Carries the lowest weight (143lbs) but the story ends there—zero wins and zero places from 11 races, with a pulled-up effort 675 days ago suggesting serious durability concerns. Finishing 11th at Downpatrick 23 days ago is his latest defeat in a career with no bright spots.

Absent from racing for 206 days—the longest absence in the entire field—and has never raced on normal ground before, which is a serious handicap at Sligo today. Zero wins, zero places from six career races suggests she doesn't belong at this level anyway.

The only runner in the field with a better than 10% win rate (one win from six races at 17%), and won at Roscommon on debut. But that was a year ago and he's finished 10th and 7th since, with form suggesting he hasn't backed up that early promise.

Only five career races and still searching for that first place—no wins, no places in any of them. Recent form shows 10th, 9th, and 17th at bigger tracks, and at six years old with this record, she's unlikely to surprise here.

Also one of the lowest-rated runners and hasn't won in nearly four years (41 races total for just one victory). Recent form of 13th, pulled-up, and missing data paints a picture of a horse that has lost what little edge it had.
