Sunday's best at Sligo came from Chester Nimitz who was 2nd. The 2/1 shot tracked the leaders early challenging a furlong out. He went 2nd in the closing stages but couldn't reach the winner Ceo Stealth Mode who won by a comfortable 4 lengths. In the days other race Sacred Oath was 9th with the contest going to Beset who beat Fratas by 1 1/4 lengths.
A busy Monday sees 8 races at both Down Royal and The Curragh with 3 main events.
Down Royal 2.45: Pepsi Max Hurdle.
2: Timmy Tuesday: A useful hurdler who has been a course winner in his career. He disappointed when 18th at Punchestown just 6 days ago where he was 6th 3 out but a slight mistake soon after ended any challenge. Going back up in trip here will suit and on form he should pick up a 3rd career victory.
The Curragh 3.35: Coolmore Stud Auguste Rodin Irish EBF Athasi Stakes (Group 3)
7: Chantez: A promising horse who was last seen winning a listed race at Leopardstown back in September. She was 4th approaching halfway travelling well to lead from a furlong out staying on and coming home by 3/4 of a length. Despite being off 7 months she can complete a hat-trick here.
The Curragh 4.10: Coolmore Stud City Of Troy Irish EBF Mooresbridge Stakes (Group 2)
6: White Birch: A high-class horse who is a 3-time course and distance winner including this race last year. His latest victory was a career best in the Tattersalls Gold Cup beating Auguste Rodin by 3 lengths. This is his return after 11 months off but despite that he sets the standard here and can retain his crown.
