Aidan Moffitt Memorial Handicap Hurdle

Sligo · 17:42 · Wednesday, 19 August 2026 · 2m1f161y · Good

🤖 AI race preview

The race is likely to be contested under a moderate tempo with Fremantle Doctor emerging as the most compelling performer, having shown consistent late-running strength in recent hurdles, including a second-place finish at Ballinrobe last week under improved headgear and a strong RPR of 105, despite a modest OFR of 99. His form over fences, particularly in a competitive field, suggests he can challenge in the middle to rear, while his recent run at Ballinrobe indicates he can keep pace and stay in contention. The main danger comes from Granlahan, who has placed four times over hurdles and showed a strong finish in a third-place effort at Kilbeggan, though his recent struggles in staying at 2m6f and a 12-length defeat at Downpatrick limit his appeal. A first-time hurdle appearance for Urban War and Calm Flight Ahead, both with limited form and recent setbacks, adds value as each-way contenders, particularly given their draw and recent run patterns.
