Dooley can deliver after long absence

DOOLEY can make a winning return after a lengthy absence in the Race Supporters’ Club Maiden Hurdle at Sligo tonight.

The selection, who has clearly had his problems, has only ever run once and must overcome a break of 559 days.

But he has been ready to go for a while and it is significant Noel Meade brings him back over flights, rather than in a bumper, and that he will be partnered by Niall Madden.
