Verdict

SPHAGNUM snapped a lengthy losing sequence for his yard at Sligo on Sunday and given the manner of that win, the follow up may well be forthcoming under a penalty. My Friend The Wind will likely give it another good go, with Battle Away one to monitor in the betting.

  1. SPHAGNUM (IRE)
  2. MY FRIEND THE WIND (IRE)
  3. BATTLE AWAY (IRE)
