Sunday was a mixed day for my picks at Sligo. In the 4.35 Sheishybrid was a non-runner, the race was won by Rosscarbery who came home by 1/2 a length. The 5.10 saw Nusret finish 2nd,the 30/100 favourite was 2nd at halfway travelling well to dispute the lead from 2 out. He had every chance in the closing stages keeping on but he was no match for the winner Irish Lullaby who won by a head.
It's a busy Monday with 7 races at Down Royal and 8 at The Curragh and there are 3 highlights.
Down Royal 3.10: Club Orange Hurdle.
7: Angels Dawn: A useful hurdler who last won at Limerick in March. She was a creditable fifth in a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse 16 days ago and should be taken seriously here.
The Curragh 3.30: Coolmore Stud Circus Maximus Irish EBF Athasi Stakes (Group 3)
5: Twilight Spinner: A filly in good form who was a respectable 3rd to Power Under Me in a listed race at Cork on her reappearance 29 days ago. She goes up in trip here and gets the nod.
The Curragh 4.05: Coolmore Sottsass Irish EBF Mooresbridge Stakes (Group 2)
5: Layfayette: Picked up his career best win when taking the Alleged Stakes over course and distance 22 days ago. He beat 3 in this field that day and should complete his hat-trick here.
