Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Sixandahalf
Sixandahalf is the pick at Sligo, and our figures put her 8 lb better than Future Prospect, a decent gap over this 18-furlong trip on good ground. That advantage over the next best is the foundation of the case, and she looks the one to beat in a six-runner field that is not especially deep. Future Prospect is the chief danger, with Amen Kate and Miss Fourie closely matched on 119 and 118 and capable of making it a tighter contest if Sixandahalf is below her best. Even so, Sixandahalf is the selection.
