Sligo Race 2 - Decoclip Construction Company Mares Maiden Hurdle
KABYLIA (2) was second in her point-to-point. Off the mark with a ready 5L win attempting a Kilbeggan jumpers flat race and holds strong claims if jumping adequately on hurdling debut. TWO BECOME ONE (10) looked a future winner when second at Kilbeggan providing initial hurdle outing. That form looks decent in this context. Subsequent 361-day absence might be a cause for concern. KATE KNOWS BEST (5) freshened following a disappointing run at Ballinrobe in August. Previously finished second over course and distance. Not ruled out. No Risk At All mare IRISH MUSIC (4) warrants a market check ahead of debut.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. First-up finished 14th of 17 starters at Leopardstown on March 30 over 1609m, 6 len behind Dark Viper with 59.5kg at $7.50. Second-up finished seventh of 22 starters at Fairyhouse on April 20 over 3218m, 18 len behind Icare D'aubrelle with 72kg at $51. One of the genuine hopes in the race.

Five-year-old mare by No Risk At All out of Irish Dance has taken a long time to make it to the track. Having her first start today. Not seen on the track yet so hard to assess. Nice profile and expected to measure up.

First ever start ran 2 of 8 starters at Gowran Park February 17 2024 over 3419m, in the wet; 10 len behind Flashaway carrying 71.5kg at $15. Should feature on her best form.

Returning from a spell making her jumps debut. She ended last campaign with finished 17th of 20 starters at Navan on October 23 over 2816m, 15 len behind Say It So with 56kg at $41 and before that finished eighth of 11 starters at Thurles on October 10 over 3319m, 6 len behind Empress Alma with 54kg at $34. Not good enough for these.
