Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Jurality is our selection in this competitive 18-furlong contest at Sligo, rated just a pound behind Kate Knows Best but preferred for a fitness edge and a progressive profile that suggest there may be more to come on good ground. Kate Knows Best is the top-rated runner and narrowly ahead on figures, so she is the chief danger, while Jumble Light shares Jurality's rating and Pralognan is only a pound further back. With a 14-runner field and so little between the leading contenders, this is far from a formality, but Jurality's sharpness can see him edge it.

Fit after just 13 days off, Jurality has run over today's trip and on this going, and a second three starts back shows he can go close, though he's winless in his last five. Our rating of 102 makes him a tentative pick off 167 lb.

Kate Knows Best returns after 161 days with two falls in her last two outings, but she has run over today's trip and on this going, and our rating of 103 ranks her top of 14. The risk is obvious: confidence after back-to-back falls, carrying 166 lb.

Gordon Elliott 5/36
Tropical Twist is fresh enough after 18 days and has run over today's trip and going, but a fifth last time out, a sixth and an eighth leave her a long way from her winning run four starts back, and 166 lb is a big burden. Our rating of 100 puts her fifth of 14, so she looks a solid mid-pack type.

Beat The Devil is winless in his last three, finishing seventh last time out, then a ninth and a pulled up, though he's back quickly after seven days and has run over today's trip and going. Carrying 165 lb off an official mark of 98 is a stiff ask, and our rating of 97 leaves him eighth of 14.

Pralognan arrives fresh from a third last time out just 14 days ago, and he has run over today's trip and going before, while our 101 sits four pounds above his official 97. The risk is that he is yet to win in his last five starts and carries 165 lb.

Home By The Sea is yet to win in his last six starts and was a ninth last time out, though he has run over today's trip and going before and returns after 22 days. Carrying 163 lb off an official rating of 95 looks a stiff ask, even if our rating of 97 gives him a slight edge.

Winless in his last five, Ocean Of Dreams was sixth last time out 56 days ago and has finished no better than sixth in that spell, which makes him hard to fancy. He has run over today's trip and going, but 161 lb is a big burden.

Solar Generation was pulled up last time out and has been off for 63 days, though a fifth two starts back is his best recent effort and he has run on today's going before. Winless in his last four, he carries 161 lb off 93, and our rating of 94 ranks him ninth of 14.

Torque De Lune is winless in her last six, unplaced in her last three and unseated four starts back, so she is hard to fancy, though a third five starts back and experience on today's going offer some hope. Carrying 157 lb off 89 after 27 days off, she looks short of a solid case.

Bella Union was third last time out, and has won twice in his last five starts, with a pulled up two runs back, and he has run over today's trip and going. A 56-day break, a yard 0/20 in the last 14 days, 156 lb and a ranking of 12 of 14 on our figures make him hard to fancy.

Lightly raced and yet to win, Tommy Go Maith showed some signs of progress when sixth last time out, a run after an eighth, following earlier efforts that ended in an unseat and two pull-ups. Back in just 14 days off 140 lb, he looks unexposed and open to improvement.
