13:57 Galway Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

KALEOSUN, who won on the level in his native France, can come on from fourth place in a maiden hurdle at Cork. He went off 4/6 favourite, but weakened to fourth after being headed on the run-in. That was his first run for almost six months, so improvement looks inevitable. In a recent stable tour, Gordon Elliott mentioned him as a possible for the Boodles at the Cheltenham Festival. Van Demon hails from a shrewd stable and won a maiden on the Flat at Cork in August. Jeaniemacaroney may prove the pick of Joseph O'Brien's pair on this ground.

VAN DEMON has shown fairly useful form on four of his 5 starts on the Flat and has the size to make a hurdler, so he's a very appealing candidate and is preferred to Kaleosun, who failed to justify support on his recent debut in this sphere at Cork but should improve nonetheless. Ose Partir is another to note.

Turned out again relatively quickly after a beaten favourite at Cork on yard debut, French bumper winner KALEOSUN (nap) can make amends

OLLIE LA BA BA could be the answer to a weak race. Eoin McCarthy's charge posted a decent effort in second behind an odds-on favourite in an auction maiden hurdle at Cork this month. That is strong form in the context of this race. Safran Et Bleu is a newcomer to note by virtue of being related to a host of multiple winners while Paul Nolan takes the wraps off Release The Beast who is well worth a market check. Mac's Xpress has plenty of experience over flights and has been placed in his last couple of outings albeit beaten a fair way in Listowel.

OLLIE LA BA BA built on his hurdling debut promise at the second attempt when runner-up at Cork 13 days ago and this looks an excellent opportunity for him to go one better. Mac's Express is fully exposed but is still expected to provide the main threat ahead of newcomer Release The Beast.

A weak maiden hurdle in which OLLIE LA BA BA has the best form credentials although that was over 2m4f so there are doubts back in trip

POUR LES FILLES was the subject of a favourable report by Gordon Elliott in a stable tour. He was a beaten favourite in third on hurdle debut at Punchestown, but the trainer expects him to come on significantly from that run. He is a former point-to-point and bumper winner, and should have a future in this discipline. Waterford Whispers showed some promise when seventh in a big field at Fairyhouse in April. He had subsequent hurdle winners in behind that day and should get much closer in this company. Beau Walking was only beaten half a length into second in a Lisronagh point-to-point in March. He has switched to Jessica Harrington for his track career and shouldn't be a backmarker.

Useful bumper winner POUR LES FILLES made a promising start to his hurdle career when third in a decent race at Punchestown recently and this looks an ideal opportunity for him to build on that. Waterford Whispers showed plenty on his debut back in the spring and might be the one to follow Gordon Elliott's charge home unless the betting speaks in the favour of Jessica Harrington point recruit Beau Walking.

Smart bumper sort POUR LES FILLES was a beaten favourite at Punchestown on hurdling debut but can make amends back in trip

15:42 Galway Novices Chase 18f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

CLIFTON WARRIOR was beaten less than a length into second in a couple of beginners' chases at Limerick and Tipperary in March and April respectively. Trip and ground are ideal for him, and he won his maiden hurdle off a break before. Spillane's Tower showed plenty of ability over flights and could be just the type to do well over fences. The Big Chap has to give weight away to the field after winning a beginners' chase in Fairyhouse, however, that was a more-than-creditable effort and he's certainly a player. Hands Of Gold won twice over hurdles last season and is another interesting recruit to chasing, while Battle It Out switches to the bigger obstacles after getting off the mark in a maiden hurdle at Cork in March, so is entitled to respect. Snake Oil was a warm order to make a winning debut over fences in this race a year ago but finished fourth and, therefore, a watching brief may be in order.

SPILLANE'S TOWER is Mark Walsh's pick of the three JP McManus-owned runners and could take plenty of stopping if he takes to fences at the first attempt. The 5-y-o progressed in four runs over hurdles last season, culminating in a solid second in a Punchestown novice, and he could make up into a useful chaser. Clifton Warrior has found just one too good on each of his two starts over fences and is feared most ahead of The Big Chap, who recently belied odds of 50/1 in a Fairyhouse maiden chase.

Fairyhouse winner The Big Chap should go well but preference is for chasing debutant SPILLANE'S TOWER

16:17 Galway Handicap Hurdle 22f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

BUDDY ONE has been a model of consistency in competitive handicaps at the big festival meetings this year and was placed on soft ground in 2m4f events at both Cheltenham and Aintree in the spring. The selection also shaped well at this venue in August when making the frame behind Ifiwerearichman and should be spot on for this having also been placed at Listowel last month. Lord Snootie is a very interesting raider for Christian Williams. The point-to-point winner stays well having won over 3m2f on soft ground at Warwick last season and was putting in his best work at the finish last time at the Punchestown Festival. Santonito won a 2m3f Clonmel maiden last term but disappointed subsequently when upped in trip while Krabat, Alpesh Amin and Missiee all appreciate testing ground conditions.

BUDDY ONE was a good third under this rider at Listowel 5 weeks ago and should go well again. Lord Snootie and Krabat head the dangers.

Preference is for recent hurdles form, notably that of KRABAT, second to a well-handicapped sort at Gowran over this trip

The lightly-raced JACKS FANCY has shaped well since upped in trip and sent into handicaps on her latest two starts including at this venue last month. The Henry de Bromhead-trained mare didn't enjoy the clearest of passages at a crucial stage when third to Ragin Cajun over this distance at Listowel with Meehall about eight lengths behind in fifth. Getaway Master finished in front of the selection in that aforementioned 2m6f race here and was again placed when returning to this venue over two miles earlier this month. Pour The Wine showed promise on just her second handicap start last year when third at Sligo and ran a cracker after an absence of over 12 months when beaten less than a length behind Londonofficecallin over 2m6f at Killarney.

POUR THE WINE produced her best effort to date on the back of 13 months off when third over shorter at Killarney 4 weeks ago, and provided she can stand more regular racing, she could be up to building on that on her first crack at 3m. Jacks Fancy, Meehall and Getaway Master are others to consider in what rates a tricky affair.

It could be worth taking a chance on JACKS FANCY improving enough to score. His form is going in the right direction.

BUTCHER HOLLOW made a big impression when easily landing a point-to-point at Tallow in February and was snapped up by current connections for 200,000 pounds at Cheltenham later that month. There is some substance to the form as the second gave the useful Intense Approach a fright next time in a point and the third ran well in a Ballinrobe bumper. Tactical Affair has the best piece of bumper form having finished a creditable fifth in the valuable Goffs Sales race at the Punchestown Festival and Gordon Elliott's charge is sure to have benefitted from that experience. Sportinthepark shaped with promise on his only point start in April and was sold for 170,000 euros at Punchestown the following week, while Mount Anglesby is a half-brother to two jumps winners and cost 70,000 pounds at the Derby Sale last year.

Having run out an easy winner of a point, BUTCHER HOLLOW has been picked up for a hefty sum, and this looks a good chance to maintain his unbeaten record switched to Rules. Fellow point recruit Sportinthepark is an obvious danger and Tactical Affair looks the pick of those with bumper experience.

Fifth in the Goffs Land Rover Bumper at the Punchestown festival, TACTICAL AFFAIR could prove the one to beat

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses.
