| Race | Horse | Form | Odds | Rating | Weight | Age | Jockey | Trainer | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 15:20 Galway | 3rd (1) Apple's Of Bresil |  | | | | 6 | Michael O'Sullivan | Barry Connell | Won a good ground bumper at Sligo in July; tried to make all in a maiden hurdle here in August but faded out of it late on, beaten 7l into fourth; drying ground is in his favour here and this looks an easier race; leading claims. |
| 15:20 Galway | 1st (2) Itsalladream | | | | | 5 | Jack G Gilligan | Paul John Gilligan | Locally trained; failed to win in three point-to-points but has shown an aptitude for hurdling; third, beaten similar distances on both starts under Rules in maiden hurdles at Roscommon (15.5f, yielding to soft) and Killarney (16.5f, good); minor place claims again. |
| 15:20 Galway | (3) Leave In Secret | | | | | 5 | Darragh O'Keeffe | Thomas Gibney | Failed to complete in two point-to-points but consistent under Rules; decent runs in maiden hurdles on good ground at Sligo and Cork earlier this year; sound effort in 2m2f bumper here in August; fourth at Kilbeggan in another bumper last time out; place claims but wouldn't want rain. |
| 15:20 Galway | (4) Nothingtoseehere | | | | | 5 | Jordan Gainford | Cian Collins | Gatewood gelding out of an unraced Definite Article dam; yard not known for winning maiden hurdles; doesn't make much appeal on paper on hurdling debut and is best watched. |
| 15:20 Galway | (5) Olympy De Cerisy | | | | | 5 | Shane Fitzgerald | Declan Queally | First of two runners for yard; won a point-to-point on heavy last October (had a subsequent Ludlow novice hurdle winner 16l behind); makes hurdling debut after three bumper runs; second the last twice and the hood he wore behind Ballygunner Castle last time is discarded; could go well once the ground doesn't dry out. |
| 15:20 Galway | (6) Portcammon | | | | | 5 | Danny Mullins | W P Mullins | Bumper winner in August 2023 at Roscommon (15.5f, good to yielding); off for a year before another good effort in a bumper here when beaten 5.75l into fourth on soft ground last month; top yard and should be well schooled for hurdling debut; dangerous to discount. |
| 15:20 Galway | (7) Rag N Bone | | | | | 7 | Hugh Morgan | Michael Butler | Placed in one of four starts in point-to-points; wore first time tongue tie (now discarded) for Rules debut in a Tipperary hunter chase (28-1) and unseated; today's trip a complete unknown and probably best watched on hurdling debut. |
| 15:20 Galway | (8) Storm Steps | | | | | 9 | Jack Kearney | Patrick Martin | Flat recruit; won four times on the level (best RPR 79) but beaten a long way in both hurdle runs to date at 100-1; will be of more interest when tackling handicaps. |
| 15:20 Galway | 4th (9) The Mediator | | | | | 7 | Jack Kennedy | Gordon Elliott | Dual-purpose; 0-7 over hurdles; good effort over timber at Kilbeggan (2m, good to yielding) on Friday when third, beaten 4.25l; ran well on the Flat here behind Busselton in July and his previous hurdling experience could stand to him here; considered in first-time blinkers. |
| 15:20 Galway | (10) Way Down South | | | | | 5 | Phillip Enright | Gillian Scott | Point-to-point winner at the fifth attempt; beaten long distances at big prices both starts under Rules, including here over 2m5f; beaten 55l last time over 2m1f; can only watch for now. |
| 15:20 Galway | (11) Banner Boy | | | | | 4 | E Walsh | Ciaran Murphy | Idaho debutant; fifth foal; dam unraced sister to 2m3f-3m2f hurdle/chase winner Take Your Time, out of 2m4f-3m1f hurdle/chase winner; best watched on hurdling bow for yard that is 7/120 in maiden hurdles. |
| 15:20 Galway | (12) Desert Haven | | | | | 4 | Sam Ewing | Noel Meade | Two 7f wins from seventeen starts on the Flat (best RPR 91); poor efforts in that sphere the last twice; cheekpieces worn last time are discarded; has ability but has to be question marks regarding his stamina for this sort of trip. |
| 15:20 Galway | (13) Mount Mandela | | | | | 4 | James O'Sullivan | P J Rothwell | 0-2 in point-to-points; beaten 13.5l in both bumpers, including one at this track; reportedly didn't like the soft ground at Sligo last time so the more the ground dries out the better; has ability but is probably best watched on hurdling debut. |
| 15:20 Galway | 2nd (14) Oh So Charming | | | | | 4 | Liam McKenna | Declan Queally | Second runner for yard; 1m Flat winner in the UK for Grant Tuer; rated 105 over timber after a couple of decent efforts for Declan Queally in maidens; yard probably has stronger claims with Olympy De Cerisy but he could outrun his likely odds. |
| 15:20 Galway | (15) Stily | | | | | 4 | Cian Quirke | Michael J McDonagh | Pulled up sole start in point-to-points on heavy ground; is a half-brother to a three-time winner for this yard but is probably more of a long term project; others preferred on hurdling debut. |
| 15:20 Galway | (16) Elafonisi | | | | | 5 | John Shinnick | Terence O'Brien | Modest form when placed in a couple of point-to-points; makes hurdling debut for in-form yard; worth a market check. |
| 15:20 Galway | (17) Siul Molly Siul | | | | | 5 | Ian Power | Mrs Jayne Hearne | Bullet Train debutante; half-sister to point winner Shuil Teacht Aniar; dam point winner, sister to bumper, 1m4f/1m5f Flat and 2m4f and 2m6f hurdle winner Leos Shuil, half-sister to 2m/2m4f hurdle winner Shuil Oisin; hooded for debut; keep an eye on the market. |
| 15:20 Galway | (18) Willwetakeher | | | | | 5 | Patrick M O'Brien | Tom Dreaper | Pulled up in sole point-to-point; 150-1 for hurdling debut and beaten 78l; tongue tie worn that day is retained; looks an unlikely winner. |
| 15:20 Galway | (19) Between Friends | | | | | 4 | Mark Walsh | E Bolger | Milan filly; first foal; dam useful bumper/2m3f-3m hurdle winner, half-sister to smart bumper and 2m-3m hurdle/chase winner Regal Encore, out of 3m hurdle winner; nicely bred debutante in good hands and worth a market check. |
| 15:20 Galway | (20) Florida Taiga | | | | | 4 | Peter Smithers | S M Duffy | Flat recruit; 0-13 in that sphere (best RPR 64); related to a 2m hurdle winner but probably best watched on first start over timber. |
| 15:20 Galway | (21) Three Tribes | | | | | 7 | Robbie Geoghegan | Barry T Murphy | First reserve; hooded for debut and was beaten 120l at 80-1; hard to fancy after that effort. |
| 15:20 Galway | (22) Getaway Blondie | | | | | 4 | Harry Sexton | Adrian Sexton | Second reserve; tailed off in a bumper; pulled up only start over hurdles; blinkers go on but he is impossible to make a case for. |
| 15:20 Galway | (23) It's His Life | | | | | 6 | Peter Fahey | Third reserve; pulled up in a point-to-point; last of 18 here beaten 122l on hurdling debut over 2m5f; down in trip but is difficult to fancy. | |
| 15:55 Galway | (1) Department Of War | | | | | 9 | Michael J Molloy | Dermot A McLoughlin | Reportedly stopped quickly on last run in a handicap hurdle for John Carr in October last year; can only be watched on first start for new yard. |
| 15:55 Galway | 4th (2) Whatsafellatodo | | | | | 11 | J J Slevin | Richard James Daniels | Won a handicap chase by 6l off 105 at Ballinrobe in May (19.5f, good); sound effort when a 7.75l third in a handicap hurdle over this C&D in July off 107 and is 2lb lower now; freshened up since a below par run at Kilbeggan; drying ground will suit and not without a chance. |
| 15:55 Galway | (3) Liberated Light | | | | | 5 | Mr J L Gleeson | John E & Thomas Kiely | Dual-purpose; 1-8 on the Flat; best effort to date over timber last time when beaten 4l into third at Cork (18.5f, good) off 103; up 1lb for that and can't be discounted dropped back in trip. |
| 15:55 Galway | (4) Only A Dollar | | | | | 6 | Sean O'Keeffe | Sean Aherne | 1-8 over hurdles; that win came by 6l in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel (2m, yielding) in May; tailed off on handicap hurdle debut at Cork last month and hard to fancy after that run; hood goes back on. |
| 15:55 Galway | 5th (5) Dream Shaper | | | | | 5 | Gavin Brouder | I Madden | Locally trained; 0-13 under Rules and 0-3 in maiden hurdles; best effort came last time out when beaten 12.5l at Ballinrobe (2m1f, yielding to soft); potential improver on handicap debut. |
| 15:55 Galway | (6) Burru | | | | | 6 | Rachael Blackmore | Bernard Martin Crowley | Improved form since returning from a break; third in last three handicap hurdles at 2m4f on good ground; up 1lb after 3.75l defeat at Killarney last month; ran well in a C&D maiden last October; an interesting runner dropping back in trip with Blackmore up. |
| 15:55 Galway | (7) The Vegas Raider | | | | | 6 | Alex Harvey | K A Heffernan | Won off 94 at Ballinrobe (2m1f, yielding to soft) on his penultimate start; beaten 13l upped to 2m4f at Killarney off revised mark of 100 latest; return to this trip will suit and acts on good ground; can't fully discount. |
| 15:55 Galway | (8) Benzine | | | | | 5 | Shane Fitzgerald | J Morrison | Dual-purpose eight race maiden (0-4 over hurdles); wasn't a terrible effort on the Flat last time at Cork; glimmer of ability in maiden hurdles and could improve on handicap debut back from a break. |
| 15:55 Galway | (9) Makfils | | | | | 7 | Jake Coen | Peter Fahey | Off the mark over timber off 92 in Punchestown maiden in May (2m, good to yielding); up 8lb and no impact in two subsequent starts; dropped 1lb after last run but may need a bit more help from the handicapper. |
| 15:55 Galway | (10) Michal | | | | | 6 | Ross Berry | C A Murphy | 0-5 over hurdles but has ability; best effort over timber came when beaten 11l in a Cork maiden over 2m3f in May; not so good last time at Kilbeggan; drops in trip for handicap debut off a mark of 99 and is a potential improver. |
| 15:55 Galway | (11) Tomas O Maille | | | | | 7 | Ambrose McCurtin | M Flannery | First of two runners for yard; 0-14 over hurdles but has placed on numerous occasions, including a second in this race last year off 100 and is 1lb lower now (Gekkota third); solid effort last time when runner up at Ballinrobe (2m1f, yielding to soft); leading claims here. |
| 15:55 Galway | (12) Granpa Ger | | | | | 6 | Danny Mullins | Anthony Mullins | 0-10 over hurdles but is in good form; runner up the last twice at Wexford (16.5f, good) and Tramore (2m, good to yielding); didn't get the clearest of runs last time and he should be in the shake up again off 2lb higher once the rain stays away. |
| 15:55 Galway | 1st (13) Wee Charlie | | | | | 7 | Michael O'Sullivan | Gerard O'Leary | 1-12 over hurdles but that win came in March 2023; lost form for Tom Gibney and is still 5lb above his last winning mark; beaten 20l over C&D last time out; best watched on first start for new stable. |
| 15:55 Galway | 3rd (14) Gekkota | | | | | 8 | Phillip Enright | T J O'Mara | Third in this race last year, beaten 12l off 102; 3lb better off with the runner up Tomas O Maille for a 1l margin so weighted to turn that form around; shaped okay last time over 20.5f at Wexford and now drops back in trip; drying ground will suit and he is another with claims. |
| 15:55 Galway | (15) Only One Plan | | | | | 7 | Tiernan Power Roche | P J Rothwell | 1-21 over hurdles; bumped into well handicapped rival at Downpatrick in June; posted another sound effort when beaten just 2.75l into third off 97 at Ballinrobe in July and same mark here; jumped poorly at Cork last time but could bounce back; each way claims. |
| 15:55 Galway | (16) Targa Flavio | | | | | 5 | Tom Harney | Ross O'Sullivan | 0-4 in maiden hurdles; best effort came when beaten 26l at Roscommon last month; potential improver now switching to handicaps but may be suited by further on breeding; probably best watched for now. |
| 15:55 Galway | (17) Glentruan | | | | | 9 | Philip Byrnes | Michael Flannery | Second runner for yard; 2-18 over hurdles but hasn't won since December 2021; hasn't shown enough in three starts for this stable to fancy here and Tomas O Maille looks their main hope. |
| 15:55 Galway | 2nd (18) In For The Night | | | | | 6 | Mark Walsh | Desmond McDonogh | 0-10 over timber but has shown enough to suggest he can win a race; was only a nose behind Tomas O Maille when finishing third at Ballinrobe last time and has place claims again at least off the same mark. |
| 15:55 Galway | (19) Mephisto | | | | | 7 | Jack Kearney | Gerard Keane | Dual-purpose; 0-12 over hurdles but was narrowly denied last time out at Sligo (17.5f, soft), beaten a neck off 91; up 3lb now but can be in the shake up again here if repeating that effort. |
| 15:55 Galway | (20) Gustavo Goodway | | | | | 6 | James O'Sullivan | P J Rothwell | Best effort so far in handicaps last time when runner up at Bellewstown (20.5f, good); cheekpieces worn that day are discarded and he drops markedly in trip; up 2lb and has place claims if building on that last run. |
| 15:55 Galway | (21) Fear The Deere | | | | | 6 | Timothy Doyle | First reserve; handicap debutant; placed in point-to-points; big prices for all four maiden hurdles and produced best effort when sixth of 14, beaten 27l at Killarney last month; potential improver. | |
| 15:55 Galway | (22) Eddierocket | | | | | 6 | Robbie Geoghegan | Norman Lee | Second reserve; locally trained; no show in three maiden hurdles; beaten 22l at 150-1 on handicap bow at Sligo (17.5f, soft); hard to make a case for on the back of that run. |
| 15:55 Galway | (23) Added Bonus | | | | | 10 | Brendan Maurice Walsh | Third reserve; runner up in a Tipperary handicap chase on penultimate start off 84 but pulled up on next start at Killarney; rated 4lb lower over hurdles but is 0-27 in this sphere; hard to see him winning. | |
| 16:30 Galway | 1st (1) The Wallpark | | | | | 6 | Jack Kennedy | Gordon Elliott | Has won his last two starts, a 19.5f handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan off 129 in July and a 22.5f Listed handicap hurdle at this track in August off his revised rating of 137; clearly in top-form, is race fit and likes it here; could be the one to benefit if Fakir d'Oudairies needs the run. |
| 16:30 Galway | 2nd (2) Kings Hill | | | | | 5 | Jack G Gilligan | Paul John Gilligan | Locally trained; 1-8 over hurdles, that win coming in a maiden at Thurles in February; highly tried at times since and was a good fourth at the Punchestown Festival; midfield in the Galway Hurdle here in August and beaten 10l at Killarney latest; has a fair bit to find with a couple of these on these terms. |
| 16:30 Galway | (3) Fakir d'Oudairies | | | | | 9 | Mark Walsh | Joseph Patrick O'Brien | The class act in this race; a multiple Grade 1 winner over fences and is rated 157 in that sphere; gets weight from the top two and hard to beat if at his best; however, he has needed the run on his last couple of returns from similar breaks, he hasn't run over hurdles since 2019 and he wears a tongue tie for the first time; it might be worth taking him on. |
| 16:30 Galway | (4) French Dynamite | | | | | 9 | Darragh O'Keeffe | M F Morris | Talented Grade 3 winning chaser who has won four times over hurdles; rated 144 over fences but his last three chase runs have been underwhelming, including one here in the Galway Plate in August; visor on first time and trainer had a welcome winner last week; chance if rediscovers his best form in first run over timber for almost two years. |
| 16:30 Galway | 3rd (5) Lord Erskine | | | | | 11 | Rachael Blackmore | H Rogers | Admirable dual-purpose veteran; mixing hurdling and the Flat recently and running respectably in both codes; fine fourth in a Flat handicap here in July then third over hurdles in The Tribes handicap hurdle a couple of days later; probably up against it on these terms but should run a solid race. |
| 17:05 Galway | (1) Lizlucky | | | | | 10 | Conor Smithers | Patrick T Foley | Has dipped beneath her winning mark and that Clonmel success in 2022 was also after a break; not discounted. |
| 17:05 Galway | (2) The Nagger Reidy | | | | | 5 | Simon Torrens | Stephen Gerard Carey | Showed a bit in his three maidens - the latest was won by class act Dancing City - and he needs a market check on handicap debut. |
| 17:05 Galway | (3) He Fitz In | | | | | 8 | Gavin Brouder | D E Fitzgerald | Didn't run much of a race when last seen in June but he's a winning hurdler/chaser on a good mark if returning to anything like his best. |
| 17:05 Galway | (4) Grivei | | | | | 7 | Sean Flanagan | I Madden | Didn't last long with Willie Mullins and offered little for Eoin Griffin; similar tale on his debut for this yard. |
| 17:05 Galway | (5) Glenmorefiftyfour | | | | | 8 | Liam Quinlan | Ray Hackett | Hadn't shown a lot before emerging from off the pace to finish second at Sligo (2m4f, soft); his finishing effort left something to be desired but now has something to build on. |
| 17:05 Galway | 4th (6) Sydney Cruiser | | | | | 6 | Alex Harvey | Ciaran Murphy | Only 3l away at Ballinrobe last month and then bumped into a well-handicapped winner (followed up) at Bellewstown; all that was over 2m1f so there are stamina doubts. |
| 17:05 Galway | (7) The Dooner Citizen | | | | | 6 | Mr Alan O'Sullivan | Eugene M O'Sullivan | Struggled in maiden hurdles last season and was pulled up in a point earlier this year. |
| 17:05 Galway | (8) Mrs Biddle | | | | | 6 | J J Slevin | Garrett James Power | Maiden but twice placed in handicaps at about 2m6f and wasn't too far away last time at Tramore; just a suspicion that goodish ground suits her best. |
| 17:05 Galway | (9) Repeat That | | | | | 11 | Ryan Treacy | David Harry Kelly | Snapped a losing run at Kilbeggan on Friday (3m, yielding) and did so by some 11l; looks well-in with a penalty provided he can back that up on this softer ground. |
| 17:05 Galway | (10) Tom Red | | | | | 4 | Phillip Enright | Mark Michael McNiff | Better for the blinkers when third over 2m4f at Sligo in June; that was on good ground and he goes further this time, but hard to rule out. |
| 17:05 Galway | 2nd (11) West Clare | | | | | 7 | Richard Deegan | Brian M McMahon | Only his second start in handicaps when fifth over 2m1f at Cork and he's related to stayers, to this trip should be more his thing; considered. |
| 17:05 Galway | 3rd (12) Divilabother | | | | | 6 | Carl Millar | Thomas Coyle | Steady improvement this summer prior to disappointing effort when tailed off at Kilbeggan (favourite); could bounce back, though he's unproven over this far. |
| 17:05 Galway | (13) Clyde The Glide | | | | | 7 | Philip Donovan | Patrick G Kelly | 15-race maiden whose best efforts have been over shorter distances; not in the best of form right now and blinkers are tried. |
| 17:05 Galway | 5th (14) Danesfort Mayfly | | | | | 7 | Danny Mullins | W J Lanigan | Has lost her way since finishing second in big-field handicap hurdle at Naas early last year. |
| 17:05 Galway | (15) Fly De Megaudais | | | | | 11 | Cian Quirke | Michael J McDonagh | Exposed 11yo who has only won three races and he's more of a chaser these days. |
| 17:05 Galway | (16) Healys Island | | | | | 9 | Sean O'Keeffe | Barry T Murphy | Lightly raced but her only placing was a remote one and finished tailed off when last seen in October. |
| 17:05 Galway | (17) Imbolc | | | | | 6 | Kevin Sexton | E Sheehy | Beaten 13l when second over 2m6f at Limerick in March (heavy) and finished closer when fifth at Cork; fell early on recent chase debut but possibilities back over hurdles. |
| 17:05 Galway | (18) Lightontheriver | | | | | 8 | Ricky Doyle | Miss J M Lee | 25-1 when tailed off at Wexford on his return from a break and has yet to make the frame; opposable. |
| 17:05 Galway | (19) Mr Brogue | | | | | 8 | Daniel King | E McNamara | Third of 16 over 2m3f here when last seen in October 2022; still a maiden and can only be watched after so long on the sidelines. |
| 17:05 Galway | 1st (20) Oskar High | | | | | 12 | Shane O'Callaghan | Norman Lee | One of six hurdle wins came in this race two years ago and that was after a similar break having not been in great form when previously seen; however, now a 12yo, you couldn't be that confident about him repeating those heroics. |
| 17:05 Galway | (21) Cloudy Fountain | | | | | 6 | W J Burke | First reserve; won a 2m7f handicap hurdle at Thurles in March and then runner-up at Wexford; outclassed in a Flat maiden last time; possibilities if getting in. | |
| 17:05 Galway | (22) Celtic Crossing | | | | | 4 | Darren Collins | Second reserve; not shown much and goes handicapping with it all to prove. | |
| 17:05 Galway | (23) Mother Ship | | | | | 4 | John Joseph Hanlon | Third reserve; handicap debutante and there were positives in a couple of her maidens; wouldn't be entirely dismissed if getting in. | |
| 17:40 Galway | 3rd (1) Lets Do This | | | | | 7 | Jordan Gainford | Cian Collins | Has the form to feature off this mark but his latest Sligo third when favourite was remote; may need good ground. |
| 17:40 Galway | (2) Kilmurry Jj | | | | | 7 | John Shinnick | Terence O'Brien | Better chaser (dual winner) than hurdler and disappointed when made favourite back over these obstacles at Wexford. |
| 17:40 Galway | (3) Olord | | | | | 8 | P J O'Hanlon | Darren Collins | Plenty of promise in maiden hurdles and bumpers but makes handicap debut after a mammoth absence and for a new yard; would need to see some confidence behind him. |
| 17:40 Galway | (4) Gold Haven | | | | | 6 | Sam Ewing | Paul W Flynn | Placed over hurdles and fences this year but well below her best of late and now 0-26. |
| 17:40 Galway | (5) Justmadeit | | | | | 5 | Daniel King | Denis Gerard Hogan | Hasn't offered a lot over hurdles, last time pulling up on handicap debut (16-1); too much to prove. |
| 17:40 Galway | 5th (6) Ilbdare | | | | | 4 | Phillip Enright | Mark Michael McNiff | Close third on handicap debut at Sligo (2m4f, good) two months ago despite jumping poorly; this ground is a grey area but has the potential to improve. |
| 17:40 Galway | (7) Mastermacblack | | | | | 7 | Ian Power | Patrick Breen | Well beaten over hurdles and fences since returning from a long break; with a new trainer. |
| 17:40 Galway | (8) Queenofthelodge | | | | | 4 | Cian Quirke | S Curling | Beaten 31l+ in her maidens but could raise her profile now handicapping over further as she's bred to stay. |
| 17:40 Galway | (9) Who's Houdini | | | | | 8 | Paddy Hanlon | John Joseph Hanlon | May have needed last month's run after a long absence and this 8yo has hinted at winning potential. |
| 17:40 Galway | (10) We Will Rock You | | | | | 6 | Sean O'Keeffe | Alan Donoghue | Bits of promise in maidens but still went off 40-1 for handicap debut at Wexford (2m4f) and was tailed off; the hood tried there is swiftly dispensed with. |
| 17:40 Galway | 4th (11) Ballagh Star | | | | | 6 | Danny Mullins | Mrs Y Dunleavy | Very nearly defied a similar mark over C&D last September and latest Ballinrobe run was encouraging; enters the reckoning. |
| 17:40 Galway | (12) Reddys Island | | | | | 7 | Jack Kennedy | Gordon Elliott | 9lb higher when winning over fences in November and respectable next time with a penalty; off since December but has to be of interest on only her fifth hurdle start. |
| 17:40 Galway | 2nd (13) Hees Dynamite | | | | | 6 | Sean Flanagan | E McNamara | His Cork fourth last October gives him hope but not a lot since and was beaten when falling last time. |
| 17:40 Galway | (14) But What About Me | | | | | 6 | Robbie Geoghegan | Norman Lee | Was about to be headed when falling at the final flight at Sligo (3m1f, soft) but that was her best run yet; each-way claims. |
| 17:40 Galway | (15) Delias Pet | | | | | 9 | Mr D Doyle | Timothy Doyle | Only 3lb higher than when beating Ballagh Star here 12 months ago but seen only once since then when tailed off at Cork; hard to know what to expect, but clearly capable. |
| 17:40 Galway | (16) Cois Fharraige | | | | | 4 | J J Slevin | Norman Lee | Unseated at the start on handicap debut but then finished well behind at Sligo; lots to prove. |
| 17:40 Galway | (17) Church Lane | | | | | 9 | Darragh O'Keeffe | Brendan Maurice Walsh | Third in this 12 months ago but nothing to shout about since then in just three appearances; cheekpieces added. |
| 17:40 Galway | (18) Hockworthy Flyer | | | | | 9 | Dillon Maxwell | Andrew McNamara | Placed in back-to-back 2m5f handicaps at Downpatrick last summer; 2m too sharp and probably needed last month's return at Wexford. |
| 17:40 Galway | 1st (19) Max Time | | | | | 7 | Shane Fitzgerald | I Madden | Longstanding maiden who hasn't been in much form this year; limited appeal. |
| 17:40 Galway | (20) Steelers Appeal | | | | | 11 | Niall Prendergast | D E Prendergast | Respectable fifth over fences last time but pulled up in his previous hurdle; this 11yo is now 0-16 under rules. |
| 17:40 Galway | (21) Ivane | | | | | 6 | Ciaran Murphy | First reserve; course winner over 2m and stays beyond this distance; not a bad chase run last time. | |
| 17:40 Galway | (22) Loughrask Rainbow | | | | | 6 | Brian M McMahon | Second reserve; maiden efforts not that convincing ahead of this handicap debut. | |
| 17:40 Galway | (23) Barryroe Madam | | | | | 5 | Brian M McMahon | Third reserve; must step up on what she's shown in handicaps and by quite a bit. | |
| 18:15 Galway | (1) Blue Reed | | | | | 5 | Sean Flanagan | W J Burke | 0-9 under Rules; a faller on chase debut at Wexford (33-1) and was a 50-1 shot when beaten 31l in first time cheekpieces (discarded here) at Roscommon early last month; others preferred. |
| 18:15 Galway | (2) Boldog | | | | | 6 | J J Slevin | Joseph Patrick O'Brien | Bumper and maiden hurdle winner from top yard; off since well-beaten in a Listed novice hurdle at Punchestown in February; brother to a chase winner at around this trip so can't be discounted if fit for his return from 204 days off. |
| 18:15 Galway | 1st (3) Jesse Evans | | | | | 8 | Sam Ewing | Noel Meade | Talented hurdler was sent off at 11-10 for his chasing debut at Killarney; bad mistake at the second last cost him dearly but he rallied well to finish third; drying ground will suit and could gain compensation granted a clear round of jumping. |
| 18:15 Galway | (4) Jet Setting Jim | | | | | 7 | Michael O'Sullivan | John Queally | Listowel maiden hurdle winner in June (16.5f, good); held every chance when falling at the last on his chasing debut at Tipperary; hampered when posting decent effort over this C&D last time; could go well. |
| 18:15 Galway | (5) Joyeux Vivo | | | | | 5 | Mark Walsh | John E & Thomas Kiely | Ten race maiden under Rules; placed in handicap hurdles but well-beaten on both chase starts at Ballinrobe and Kilbeggan at 23.5f and 25.5f; drop in trip here will suit but needs more to trouble the best of these. |
| 18:15 Galway | (6) Noble Birth | | | | | 7 | Daniel King | E McNamara | Three time winning hurdler; excellent effort on chasing debut at Killarney last month, beaten just 1.5l into second; takes a big drop in trip here but not written off on ground that should suit. |
| 18:15 Galway | (7) Palace Rock | | | | | 7 | Ben Harvey | Francis Casey | Possesses some smart form over hurdles; not as good so far in two starts over the bigger obstacles, including when beaten 31l at Killarney last time; held by Jesse Evans on that form and best watched for now. |
| 18:15 Galway | 4th (8) San Salvador | | | | | 8 | Richard Deegan | Joseph Patrick O'Brien | 2-7 over hurdles but 0-3 in chases; showed promise on debut in this sphere when fourth at Limerick in May but fell early at Roscommon and was beaten 39l at Killarney last time; surely capable of better but others preferred on this occasion. |
| 18:15 Galway | 3rd (9) A Law Of Her Own | | | | | 7 | Danny Mullins | Peter Fahey | Has won here over hurdles; back from spell with Dan Skelton with below par run over timber when beaten 18l here in late July; has a bit to find with some of these on hurdling form and can only be watched on her chasing debut. |
| 18:15 Galway | (10) Opera Point | | | | | 6 | John Aherne | A M O'Grady | Huge odds and well-beaten in all four starts over hurdles; also well beaten in three completed point-to-points; hard to fancy on chasing debut. |
| 18:15 Galway | 2nd (11) Shecouldbeanything | | | | | 7 | Jack Kennedy | Gordon Elliott | Talented hurdler blotted her copybook when refusing to race on the Flat at Tramore last month; midfield in the Galway hurdle on penultimate start; dam is related to a chase winner and is from a top yard so can't be discounted. |
| 18:45 Galway | 2nd (1) Macgiloney | | | | | 11 | Daniel King | Denis Gerard Hogan | Multiple winner but burdened with a tough handicap mark and drier ground suits. |
| 18:45 Galway | (2) Bocelli's Voice | | | | | 8 | Patrick M O'Brien | Dermot A McLoughlin | Out of the weights when a 14l third at Kilbeggan and off his correct mark (2lb lower than now) he was runner-up at Wexford (2m; probably stays this far); seems in good nick and enters the reckoning. |
| 18:45 Galway | (3) King Ferdinand | | | | | 8 | Mr Alan O'Sullivan | Eugene M O'Sullivan | Returned from his break over hurdles and appreciated the return to fences when an emphatic winner at Killarney (2m5f, yielding); handicapper didn't hold back with a 9lb rise but this 8yo might be improving (now 3-7 as a chaser). |
| 18:45 Galway | (4) Shantou Show | | | | | 8 | Donagh Meyler | R P Cody | The winner of two hunter chases; not offered a great deal in his two handicaps, especially last time. |
| 18:45 Galway | 3rd (5) Toofareastiswest | | | | | 8 | Phillip Enright | A M O'Grady | Won over 3m1f at Thurles (yielding) in December and let down by his jumping next time; might just need this after a period on the sidelines. |
| 18:45 Galway | 1st (6) Neveradullmoment | | | | | 7 | Mark Walsh | J P Dempsey | Not the easiest to win with and his rider got a whip ban when he prevailed narrowly over hurdles here last month (2m, soft); off the same mark for this return to chasing and, although 0-10 in this discipline, he has been placed; trip won't be an issue. |
| 18:45 Galway | (7) Marronstown | | | | | 7 | Alex Harvey | D M Christie | Came clear in a 3m handicap chase at Punchestown but dropped away disappointingly off this 7lb higher mark at Wexford; if he can recapture that penultimate effort then he'd be a player. |
| 18:45 Galway | (8) Just Three | | | | | 7 | Jack G Gilligan | Paul John Gilligan | Still early days over fences and this should be more realistic than beginners' assignments; however, only ran three days ago and others are safer. |
| 18:45 Galway | 4th (9) Lake Chad | | | | | 9 | Brian Hayes | Philip Fenton | Up-and-down profile but comfortably won a 2m6f handicap chase at Tramore (good) three weeks ago; up 8lb and this softer surface might not be ideal. |
| 18:45 Galway | (10) Centurion Steel | | | | | 9 | Carl Millar | Declan Queally | Clear at one point when an 11l third at Downpatrick three months ago (2m7f, good); softer ground here isn't favourable. |
| 18:45 Galway | (11) Natural Breeze | | | | | 9 | Simon Torrens | P J Rothwell | Only 2-31; 0-3 over fences and was no match for Lake Chad at Tramore three weeks ago; on the plus side, he does have a pull at the weights with the winner and he might be the happier of the two on this softer ground. |
| 19:15 Galway | (1) Annie Hope Harriet | | | | | 5 | Miss A B O'Connor | Dermot P O'Brien | Beaten about 20l when a 16-1 chance at Tramore (good). |
| 19:15 Galway | (2) Atomic Queen | | | | | 5 | Mr Derek O'Connor | Peter Fahey | Flemensfirth mare who cost 48,000euros as a 3yo; sister to 2m3f hurdle winner Turfmans Daughter; interesting jockey booking. |
| 19:15 Galway | 3rd (3) Cailin Deas | | | | | 6 | Mr Alan O'Sullivan | James Andrew Fahey | Left debut effort behind to finish second at Kilbeggan when tried in a tongue-tie (good to yielding); this may take more winning. |
| 19:15 Galway | (4) Clever Minded | | | | | 5 | Mr Finian Maguire | J P Dempsey | 110,000euros 3yo from the family of top chaser Master Minded; 11-1 and ran a nice race to be third behind a well-touted Willie Mullins newcomer at the big meeting here a month ago; good chance. |
| 19:15 Galway | 4th (5) Dancing Dame | | | | | 5 | Mr D Doyle | Timothy Doyle | Showed similar form at Killarney and Listowel before finishing down the field here last month when behind Clever Minded. |
| 19:15 Galway | (6) De Cuckoo | | | | | 5 | Mr D McGill | Miss Elizabeth Anne Lalor | Seventh foal; half-sister to winners Where's Frankie (2m7f-3m4f hurdle/chase) and Andante (bumper); dam achieved little 2m-2m6f hurdles. |
| 19:15 Galway | (7) Heure Exacte | | | | | 7 | Mr J P Sampson | I Madden | No worthwhile form in six bumpers and held by some of these. |
| 19:15 Galway | 1st (8) Meitheal | | | | | 5 | Mr J L Gleeson | John E & Thomas Kiely | Well-related mare who has run solid races in defeat at Wexford, performing to a similar level on both occasions; won't be far away if handling today's softer surface. |
| 19:15 Galway | (9) Minimongous | | | | | 5 | Mr O T Gilligan | Paul John Gilligan | Didn't show much in points and has left Emmet Mullins since her remote finish at Tramore (hooded; got loose beforehand). |
| 19:15 Galway | (10) Scarlet Purse | | | | | 5 | Mr J O'Grady | S Curling | Half-sister to five winners including Fennor Cross (1m-10.3f, RPR 87, useful 2m-2m4f hurdle), Dune Buggy (Italian 8.5f-9.5f) and Infinity Focus (Italian 7.5f-1m1f); dam unraced half-sister to useful 1m2f winner. |
| 19:15 Galway | (11) She's Poetry | | | | | 5 | Mr J W Hendrick | Emmet Mullins | Unraced dam out of unraced half-sister to useful bumper/2m-2m3f hurdle winner Erintante; newcomer from a shrewd yard and the market should be revealing; tongue tied. |
| 19:15 Galway | (12) A Quaint Gal | | | | | 4 | Mr C P Tierney | Peter Croke | 1,000euros yearling; fourth foal; half-sister to 7f winner Aquamas (RPR 68); dam placed 7f and a sister to 6f 2yo Listed winner Hold Your Colours and 1m2f-1m6f Flat/2m-2m2f hurdle winner Taste The Wine; an unlikely winner. |
| 19:15 Galway | (13) Angel's Peak | | | | | 4 | Mr S Cotter | Denis Paul Murphy | Pulled up in two points and then only eighth at Tramore. |
| 19:15 Galway | (14) Diamonds Diva | | | | | 4 | Mr H C Swan | Mrs John Harrington | Showed more at Ballinrobe but was still beaten 11l and she has plenty to find on the figures. |
| 19:15 Galway | (15) Madam Jess | | | | | 4 | Mr R W Barron | Declan Queally | Third foal; dam 6f AW winner (RPR 73), sister to 1m 2yo winner Tanqeya; stable has occasional success in these races. |
| 19:15 Galway | 2nd (16) Mummy Derry | | | | | 4 | Mr P W Mullins | W P Mullins | Fifth foal; half-sister to smart 2m3f hurdle/2m-3m1f chase winner Spillane's Tower; unraced dam closely related to German 1m Group 3 winner Cherry Danon; makes obvious appeal given her connections. |
