Sligo Race 2 - Abbey Haven Care Centre & Nursing Home Hurdle

COMBS (2) shed the maiden tag over obstacles when landing a Kilbeggan maiden (3200m) in September. Since found a Listed handicap too fierce at Listowel. Worth following back down in grade. SPEISIALTA (5) made all to score by an impressive 14L providing her sole previous run at this venue during August. Not been plain sailing subsequently but is another who will benefit for the return to a small field. PUPPET MASTER (3) brings the most potential in this sphere. Runner-up latest tackling hurdles at Perth (3200m). In the mix. FRIARY ROAD (1) lost his way last campaign. Confidence restored by a few recent flat outings. Chance on best form.
