An excellent day at Clonmel saw both my picks win, in the 2.35 Mount Sinai was 2nd at halfway leading from 4 out. The 3/1 shot was two lengths clear before the last keeping on well to easily beat Roccos Inspiration by 4 1/4 lengths. The other race saw Castle Field Boy track the leaders making headway to hit the front approaching the straight. The 5/1 chance led narrowly at the last keeping on to beat Whatsavailable by 2 1/2 lengths.
A Friday double header rounds off a short week with 7 races at Sligo and 8 at Dundalk with 2 standing out.
Sligo 4.10: Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden Hurdle.
1: Will Do: A promising horse who was last seen winning at Cork back in April. He disputed the lead in the final 150 yards getting to the front close to home and coming home by a head. He switches to hurdles here and despite going significantly up in trip he is a big player on his return.
Dundalk 7.00: Al Basti Equiworld Dubai, Pat Smullen Mercury Stakes (Group 3)
5: The Highway Rat: A 4-time course and distance winner including this race in 2021. Was slowly away when losing by a neck to the reopposing Harry's Bar here 3 weeks ago but if he can get the start right then he can return to winning ways and take this for the second time in 3 years.
