Side Saddle scored over 2m4f on heavy ground here in January and has been quite highly tried in three subsequent starts. Winning bumper Tuzo hasn't done as well as expected over hurdles and may need a further drop in the ratings while Some Drama gained his only victory over hurdles at Sligo last year and has been chasing. Any further rain would greatly aid his cause while EMMA BEAG won a Sligo maiden on heavy going before finding the ground too quick at Tipperary. She bounced back with a cracking effort over this track and trip last month and is on the upgrade so gets the vote. The Jazz Singer will appreciate the testing ground and this is his sort of trip as he's shown twice at Navan recently. He should go well and easily has the beating of Wolfslair on last month's run there. Incitatum won between the flags last month and is on a low enough mark to give a good account.
