Race Conditions & Setup

This is a 0–100 handicap hurdle over just shy of 2m2f on good ground. The pace forecast is Even, with a slight tactical angle—front-runners and prominent racers are favoured around Sligo’s sharp turns and undulating finish. Hold-up horses can struggle unless the tempo is strong. That gives a slight tactical edge to those likely to race handy such as Tir Og and The Truant.

Leading Contenders

Tir Og (13)

• TF Adj: 113 | EPF Rank: #1
  Fell two out when still in front at Clonmel and shaping like a likely winner. Lightly raced, improving, and tactically well suited here. 4yo filly getting weight from the field and races prominently.
  Rating: 8.5/10

The Truant (1)

• TF Adj: 108 | CD Winner | Paul Flynn | KC Sexton up
  Back to hurdles after fair Flat efforts, including a close second at Navan. 2024 C&D winner in this race series and races prominently. Still on a workable mark.
  Rating: 8/10

High Honour (2)

• TF Adj: 111 | Won over C&D in August 2024
  In form and posted a solid third last time behind a subsequent improver. Carries weight well and has a solid pace profile. Consistent recent efforts.
  Rating: 7.5/10

St Anthonys Corner (4)

• TF Adj: 110 | Placed last twice in handicaps at this trip
  Slightly better over further, but not disgraced over this sort of distance. Trainer Norman Lee’s runners tend to improve in late spring.
  Rating: 7.5/10

Moulane West (8)

• TF Adj: 110+ | Layoff: 200 days
  Lightly raced in 2024, shaped well on final runs. Long layoff is a concern, so watch the market. Tactically he may be forced to track the pace or race mid-pack.
  Rating: 7/10

Each-Way Angles / Outsiders to Note

Go Gill Go (12)

• TF Adj: 112 | CD form | 75-day layoff
  Back from a break. Was placed off a higher mark in the past. On a reduced mark now and still lightly raced for a 10yo.
  Rating: 6.5/10

My Good Pal (11)

• TF Adj: 107 | New stable (Cromwell)
  Off 118 days but now with Gavin Cromwell. Failed to justify support on stable debut in January. Unexposed and any support would be significant.
  Rating: 6.5/10

Sydney Cruiser (9)

• TF Adj: 98 | Modest profile but consistent
  Generally runs to form but hard to make a strong win case. Would need a collapse up front to get involved.
  Rating: 6/10

Seasett (3)

• TF Adj: 105+ | Mark Hanlon | Fair run two starts back
  Capable of hitting the frame if jumping holds up. Often makes minor errors and better going might help.
  Rating: 6/10

Less Likely / Need More

• Applejack Poet (5) – TF Adj: 107 but mixed profile; fifth on return after long break. Needs another run? 5.5/10
• Stormy Jenn (6) – TF Adj: ? – Well held previously. 175-day layoff. Best watched. 4.5/10
• Three Tribes (7) – TF Adj: 95 – Long way off based on recent form. 3.5/10
• Highland Earl (10) – TF Adj: 97 – Pulled up and tailed off in most recent runs. 3.5/10

Summary Advice

• Best Win Chance: Tir Og – unexposed and was still going well when falling last time.
• Strong Place Angles: The Truant, High Honour, and St Anthonys Corner all bring recent solid form.
• Market Watch: Moulane West, My Good Pal, Go Gill Go – all returning from layoffs of 90+ days and likely better judged by late market action.
