Sligo Champion Handicap (47-65)
1m 2f
Going: Soft
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneYOUR HONOR has been gradually getting the hang of things in handicaps after being gelded earlier in the year and his third against older rivals at Ballinrobe was a good effort. Dropping back a couple of furlongs is probably not ideal for the Lawman gelding who shapes like a stayer but a similarly positive ride should see him go close and he'll relish the final climb here. Butterfly Garden has run three solid races in handicaps and has twice found only one too good. She's up 7lb in total but Scott McCullagh's claim negates most of that and she'll have plenty of supporters. Yokkell wasn't far behind Butterfly Garden when fourth at Killarney and now meets her on the same terms after another good effort at Cork where she was beaten only a length. She wouldn't need to improve much to make the breakthrough.
