Wild Mandate heads a competitive 17-runner field at Sligo over two and a half miles on good ground, rated narrowly ahead of Phoenix Arizona and a couple of pounds clear of Firstupbestdressed and Sekakarma, who share a rating and represent the chief dangers in what looks an open contest. The trip and ground conditions should suit, and while the margin over the chasing group is slender, Wild Mandate’s edge at the top of the ratings gives a foothold in a tricky puzzle. Phoenix Arizona and the closely matched pair of Firstupbestdressed and Sekakarma are respected, and punters should be aware that the selection’s advantage is a fine one in a big field. Wild Mandate is our selection.
