Review SLIGO 30TH APR Paul Carberry and Curragh trainer Michael Halford both recorded doubles as the evening racing circuit got off to a flying start at a well-attended Sligo yesterday.The pair teamed up to take the opening Coolera Maiden Hurdle with the well-backed 8/11 favourite Class Society. The six-year-old mare was prominent throughout, and quickly settled the issue off the home turn for a comfortable two and a half lengths verdict over Annalisa.'She will mix it between the Flat and hurdles as long as there is some ease in the ground', said Halford.Carberry was at his confident best when doubling up half an hour later aboard Finians Ivy in the Carraroe Handicap Hurdle. The Tony Martin-trained gelding smoothly joined the leaders approaching two out, and stretched clear on the run-in for a six length victory over Beebeep.Ballymote, owned like Class Society by Dundalk businessman Michael Woods, provided Halford with 'a pleasant surprise' when making all under Fran Berry in the Harrys Bar Handicap. 'He's been off for 18 months after breaking down, and I thought he would need the run', said the Curragh trainer, who added: 'He's got a heart as big as the Rock of Cashel!'.Jim Gorman sadddled four runners in the Derrinstown Stud Apprentice Handicap, and was on the mark with recent Leopardstown winner Christy Senior. Gordon Power's mount headed Trimilki a furlong out to score by five lengths, and may bid for a hat-trick later this week.
