23/8/23 Sligo

 The only winner at Roscommon on Tuesday was Nemonte, the 5/6 favourite made all the running and despite being strongly pressed inside the final furlong she kept on well close to home beating My Mate Alfie by 1 1/2 lengths. The other pick Bad Desire was a non-runner in a race won by Beauty Thunder who beat Thor's Hammer by 1/2 a length. 

 The midweek meeting takes place at Sligo where on a seven race card two stand out. 

7.10: Francie 'Banger' Burns Handicap Hurdle. 

6: Arctic Ambition: A decent horse who picked up two wins from 6 runs last season including at Ballinrobe in May and was a creditable 3rd in a handicap chase at Kilbeggan when last seen 11 days ago. He goes off his lower hurdles mark here and tops the shortlist. 

7.40: Adare Manor Opportunity Handicap Hurdle. 

3: Dinoland: Despite not having won in nine starts he ran the best race of his career when second at Perth 3 weeks ago. He led at the home turn going clear but was passed at the last keeping on at the same pace on the run-in. He goes back up in trip here and has an excellent chance to go one better.
