FormscanBy Michael Graham - THE LITTLE YANK, who is an 88-race veteran, could land this winnable race. He has visited Sligo just four times, but has shown a fondness for the venue in winning twice - once over flights and once over fences. He showed that there is still plenty of fire in his belly when delivering over hurdles at Kilbeggan in June. Themanintheboots is edging down the weights and has winning form over a staying trip in Perth. Tango Theatre filled the runner-up berth on her last two appearances at Kilbeggan and Bangor-on-Dee, and is a contender albeit she has never got her head in front on the racetrack before. Back the West caught the eye in fourth at Ballinrobe and isn't out of it.
