Wednesday was a decent day for my picks at Sligo, in the 6.30 Bay Of Bengal was 5th. The 13/8 favourite was 3rd at halfway making headway between horses entering the straight. She was briefly 2nd from a furlong out but she made no impression in the final 100 yards while in a close finish Corky beat Disco Boots by a short head. The 7.00 saw Queen Of Ours win. The 8/11 favourite made all the running and was two lengths clear entering the straight. She kept on well in the final furlong to beat She's Local by 1 3/4 lengths.
A Thursday double header sees 7 races at Sligo and 8 at Leopardstown with two main events.
Sligo 5.30: Kilcawley Construction Rated Novice Hurdle.
1: Dartington: A useful hurdler who won twice this year before finishing a respectable 11th in a handicap at The Curragh 19 days ago. He enjoys running over hurdles having won 3 of his last 6 starts and he has a good shout here.
Leopardstown 6.15: Grant Thornton Ballyroan Stakes (Group 3)
3: Cleveland: A promising horse who maintained his good recent form when a creditable 2nd in the Copper Horse Stakes at Royal Ascot 51 days ago. Despite being no match for the winner there he has good claims here back in group company on his first start for Joseph O’Brien.
