“soon vying for the front - in front before the 2nd - opened a big gap from the 3rd - minor mistake at the 6th - six lengths to the good at halfway - that margin narrowed by the 8th - stretched away once more before 4 out - further mistakes at 3 out and 2 out - another mistake at the last and driven along - flat out and got home narrowly late on”

Racing Post verdict
Third-partyStreets Of Doyen is the selection for this 26f contest at Sligo on good-to-firm ground, rated 126 on our figures and a clear 7lb above his nearest rival on that reckoning. Sphagnum (119) and Kalanisi Flash (113) look the most obvious dangers to that superiority, with Golden Temple (109) also worth including in the picture. Confidence in the selection is high, and Streets Of Doyen looks the one to beat in a field of 17.
