Sligo preview Dermot Weld sends four runners across to Sligo on Tuesday evening and all of them look to have good prospects. Madakheel bids to continue Weld's excellent record in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden over a mile and a quarter, a race the Rosewell House trainer has captured three times in the last five years. This three-year-old daughter of American sire Mr Greeley comes here on debut and should pose a stiff challenge to John Oxx's Tarziyna, who has been fourth and second in her maiden outings to date. Weld's Sir Raston also makes his first track appearance in the juvenile maiden over the extended six furlongs. Ohh Lala for Willie McCreery has the benefit of two runs though, including when third to the well-regarded Stella Street and Jack Naylor in Fairyhouse last month. Kevin Prendergast's Taaluf receives 17lb from Weld's Flic Flac under the terms of the Countysligoraces.com (Fillies) Handicap, yet there is only 10lb between the pair on official ratings. Versilia Gal won this race last year and handler Pat Martin will be hoping a return to Sligo sparks an improvement in her performance. The Pet Stop Discount Warehouse And Fuel Handicap is a typically competitive affair. Pixie Spirit has gone up 7lb in the weights for winning a Limerick sprint handicap, but is one of the few coming here in form. Leigh Roche takes a valuable 3lb off his back. Timely Call, Spring Up and Majestic Pearl have all changed stables since their last runs. With a mark of 82, Waydownsouth holds all the aces in the mile and two claimer. He was runner-up in Limerick and Clonmel before scoring in Tramore last-time out. Weld's Truthwillsetufree will be a warm order for the Kilcawley Construction Sligo Race. This mare was a notable third in Listowel when her jockey dropped his whip close home. To add weight to her chances this evening she is a previous course and distance winner. Calle Aneto and Bomber Jackson are two of the leading lights in the apprentice handicap. They both come here with runner-up finishes in their lockers.
