Wrong Number looks right choice
The King’s Best colt was given kid-glove treatment on his debut at Leopardstown and may step up plenty on that performance.
He was out the back for much of the journey, before running on late to get within a length and a quarter of Linsalata.
That looked an ordinary enough contest, but Kevin Prendergast’s charge can be expected to come on plenty for the experience.
One-eyed Dane Blue should prove hard to beat in the Irish Stallion Farms’ EBF Fillies Handicap, following a facile success at Naas on Sunday.
The five-year-old scored unextended for tonight’s pilot, Martin Harley, by seven lengths and will surely go up by a lot more than the mandatory 7lbs penalty she now has to carry.
The rapidly improving Tai Lass gets the vote in the featured Martin Reilly BMW Dealer Handicap Hurdle at Sligo.
In theory she is likely to struggle to reverse placings with Rainbow Dash, who beat her half a length at Galway and is 6lbs better off.
But Tai Lass returned to Ballybrit on Sunday to beat Green Mile an easy length and a half. Two miles could be on the sharp side, so expect Andrew Lynch to make plenty of use of the mare.
Inzone, following a solid effort behind Dedo at Cork at the weekend, is difficult to oppose in the info@countysligoraces.com Claiming Race.
The Chip Chopman, who may have found two miles round Wexford all too short, can redress the balance in the two and a half mile Tuesday 28th August @ Sligo Handicap Hurdle.
