Paul Ferguson has one selection for us on Wednesday; Teelin Star in the Sligo 3.25. Compare odds and bet.
JP McManus runs a couple of potentially smart sorts against one another in the opening mares beginners chase at Sligo on Wednesday, in a race that is worth noting with the future in mind.
In the next race, Pat Hughes’ Teelin Star (3:25) is taken to make a winning return and start to rebuild his tall reputation, which two hugely impressive point-to-point victories helped to make.
A bumper winner last September, he unseated Barry Geraghty at the first on his chase debut the following month, before pulling up in a warm event at Naas in November. Given the lengthy absence and the fact he needs to get his career back on track, I would assume he will be wound up for this return and, with the trip on the sharp side, I expect he will set off in front and try the ‘catch me if you can’ tactics. He can outclass this lot if getting into a rhythm.
Wednesday’s selection:
3:25 Sligo: Teelin Star; 11/4 William Hill
