Slige Dala (IRE)
Slige Dala won three bumpers in the summer of 2020 at Listowel, Killarney and Galway, all over 2m1f – 2m4f on soft ground. The gelding, who was aged 8 at his last run in Dec 2023, has three wins from 26 starts on turf. He failed to add to that tally in six starts over 2m5f – 3m or four starts over 3m and was beaten 20lb below his highest ever mark of 126 when finishing 12 of 14 in the Molony Cup Handicap Chase at Thurles last time.

KTB Speed and Rating
Best recent Speed 119
How fast the horse ran, as points against the day-corrected standard time for its course and distance: 100 is the median GB Class 4 handicap winner on that code; one point is 0.1% of the standard time. A, B or C is how much the day's card could tell us, not how good the run was. What this means →

Both figures are KTB's own, computed from the archive; no vendor rating enters either. Every run's figure is on its form line below with its grade. Grades measure how much the archive could see, never the merit of the run.
Run style is derived from in-running commentary, which our data provider does not supply for this horse's races.
