Course winner who was below best in pair of outings following a lengthy absence in July. Fell in handicap hurdle (66/1) at Punchestown (22.8f, good) 10 days ago, coming down 5 out. Others more persuasive.

13/2, first run since leaving Neil Mulholland when good second of 15 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (24.7f, good) 22 days ago, finishing strongly having been left with a lot to do. Has good chance on form.

Blinkered for 1st time, respectable fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (24f, good, 11/2) 18 days ago. Present mark looks about right on balance.

11/2, bettered previous efforts for present yard when 8 lengths second of 9 to Shuil Na Tra in handicap hurdle at this course (25.4f, soft) 65 days ago, pulling hard. Losing run tempers enthusiasm to a degree, however.

Malinas gelding who has offered little in handful of maiden hurdles to date. However, he is bred to stay well and this marked step up in trip could unlock some progress now handicapping. Betting can prove an informative guide.

Well held all 3 starts in maidens but much more like it when winning 11-runner handicap hurdle at Killarney (22.8f, soft, 20/1) 19 days ago, jumping left last and running on. Lines up here easily one of the least exposed and worth a second look again.

Creditable 9¼ lengths fourth of 11 to Doitforjane Sid in handicap hurdle at Killarney (22.8f, soft, 12/1) 19 days ago, weakening gradually. Cheekpieces back on. Others more persuasive.

Maiden who ran best race for present yard when second at Ballinrobe (22.4f) in August but failed to repeat that when thirteenth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Listowel (22f, soft) 28 days ago. Others hold stronger claims.

Lightly-raced maiden. 14/1, excellent second of 15 in handicap hurdle at Roscommon (20.3f, soft) 25 days ago, that despite some indifferent jumping. Capable of better still if brushing up in that department.

16:50 Sligo - 25 October 2024 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

CROSSING THE BAR marked himself down as one to be interested in when finishing with a flourish to take second on stable debut at Clonmel 3 weeks ago and, on a handy mark judged on his exploits for Neil Mulholland, he gets the nod to confirm the promise of that effort. Roscommon-second Nevereverever can do better as his jumping improves and is feared, with last-time-out winners Doitforjane Sid and Donacheady Gale others in the mix.
