Lost Time set to go in again

LOST TIME rates a reasonably safe wager to land the Irish Stallion Farms’ EBF Novice Hurdle at Sligo this evening.

Trained by Christy Roche, the eight-year-old is clearly no star, but good enough, hopefully, to get through this test! He ran two promising races, following a long break, behind Afistfullofdollars at Navan and Arteea at Naas, before getting off the mark over flights at Fairyhouse.

Going off a heavily-backed even-money shot to beat 24 opponents, you couldn’t describe the performance as overly impressive. The selection had to get the full Tony McCoy treatment to beat Daly Said It by ¾ of a length, but a repeat of that should suffice.
