Talented Sea Beat can bounce back from mishap

Seven chases form a tricky card at Sligo, where the nap goes to Sea Beat in the two-mile-five-furlong beginners’ chase.

The selection was a faller on his first start over fences, but had jumped quite well until making that mistake at the seventh fence.

Prominent and still going well until coming to grief, it was most encouraging that the Arthur Moore-trained runner had been very strong in the betting for that race, as he had lost his way over hurdles, and market confidence suggested he was back in top form.
