16:55 Sligo Park Hotel Handicap Hurdle (80-109)

Race preview

IRIDESCENT won a handicap on his fencing debut last month and reverts to hurdles. He has won just twice from 21 hurdle runs but relishes staying distances, competes over his longest trip to date here, and his timber rating is now 8lb below his chase mark. Mister Twist has been running well in handicaps and while 4lb higher than on his last handicap appearance, won a recent maiden hurdle and likes staying distances. Six-time winner Gotthenod is suited by good ground and staying distances but while she was a recent Wexford winner, has yet to win or be placed from today's revised rating. Another recent winner Ballyglass Beauty also stays well but competes from a career-high rating, while Goodnightngodbless hasn't run over hurdles since August 2021. Spring Street was beaten 75 lengths on his latest run but had previously run well in April and steps up in trip in a first-time tongue-tie.
