19:00 Sligo — Crawford Tiles And More Handicap Hurdle model predictions

Mount Ferns (IRE)

0%

Hurdles win in 2024 came at Listowel (2m, soft) off 91; returned there last September for a staying-on third in the same event; pulled up at Cork a month ago on reappearance after a winter break.

Hurricane Honey (IRE)

0%

Went close over fences at this venue last October, seems better over longer distances; makes debut for this yard after a break.

Gforcejenny (IRE)

0%

Placed in a juvenile hurdle at last year's Listowel festival; satisfactory effort when fifth at Down Royal in her first handicap; a likely contender with normal improvement.

Moulane West (IRE)

0%

Locally-trained gelding won here early last season; overall record is unconvincing and getting on in years; down the field here four weeks ago.

Soldier Saint (IRE)

0%

Placed in a bumper for Nicky Henderson; has shown improvement over longer distances in his two most recent races; return to shorter trip is a concern.

Grennanstown Lady (IRE)

0%

Showed little over hurdles last year; well beaten in two Flat starts this term; no fitness doubts, but hard to fancy.

Saint Peregrine (IRE)

0%

Lost form after finishing second in a maiden hurdle on this card a year ago; tailed off in a handicap hurdle here last August; has failed to take to chasing.

Theanniversary Man (IRE)

0%

Back-to-back winner last November/December at Thurles (2m, good to yielding) and Cork (2m4f, soft to heavy); pulled up early at Tramore ten days ago in a race in which Avandra produced a much-improved performance to take second; may bounce back.

Boston Bobby (IRE)

0%

Long-priced winner at Down Royal in December; may have needed Bellewstown run in April; trainer probably has a better chance with recent Tramore second Avandra.

He Who Dares (IRE)

0%

Posed no threat when a 25-1 chance at Tramore ten days ago; safely held by Avandra on that running.

Granlahan (IRE)

0%

Gave an improved display when stepped up to 2m4f at Limerick 12 days ago, promoted a place to third after the winner's disqualification; this trip may be a little shorter than ideal.

Coole Vision (IRE)

0%

Over four years since his last racecourse start, pulled up in a point-to-point in February.

Cholo (IRE)

0%

Has shown promise in two starts since returning from a break; has an edge over Avandra on Wexford running, but that rival showed improved form when second at Tramore recently.

Avandra (IRE)

0%

Was having her 18th start when placed for the first time ten days ago; never far from the pace in that 2m Tramore contest; may feature again, but not guaranteed to reverse previous Wexford form with Cholo.

Sonny Fella (GB)

0%

Never in the first four in 15 outings, has failed to complete three of his last four races.

Timurshah (IRE)

0%

First reserve; weak form last year; a revelation at Clonmel last Friday on his first run for this stable; won with plenty to spare and would seem to have an excellent follow-up opportunity under a mandatory penalty if he gets a run.

Dark Berkshire (IRE)

0%

Second reserve; has shown little; only slight progress since switched to handicaps for his final two starts in 2025.

Glin Road Boy (IRE)

0%

Third reserve; weak form in maiden hurdles; market check advised if he gets a run on handicap debut and first run since his transfer to Charles Byrnes.
