Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (1.25/1 +38%) Alvaniy	1.25 1.25/1(+38%)	(1) Alvaniy 1.25/1, Promising sort. First run since leaving Paul Gammell when fifth of 16 in maiden at this course (21f, good to soft, 8/1) on hurdles bow 40 days ago. Down in trip. Likely to improve for top yard. Placed in two bumpers for a small yard, dropped in trip after satisfactory hurdling debut.
2	19 2nd (19) (40/1 -21%) Whimsy	40 40/1(-21%)	(19) Whimsy 40/1, Making GB/IRE jumps debut. Fifth of 6 in handicap at Goodwood (12f, good to firm, 15/2), doing too much too soon.

3	11 3rd (11) (20/1 +39%) Team Of Firsts	20 20/1(+39%)	(11) Team Of Firsts 20/1, Twice-raced maiden over hurdles. Fairly useful winner at 10f on flat. 50/1, fifth of 14 in novice hurdle at Killarney (16.4f, good to soft) 16 days ago, not knocked about. Should improve. Two Flat wins for Ger Lyons, will be more interesting when qualified for handicaps.

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, second of 9 in novice hurdle (evens) at Down Royal (20f, good to soft) 10 days ago, going with enthusiasm. More to come and leading claims.

Winner in bumper at Wexford in June. 28/1, good fourth of 12 in novice hurdle at Tramore (21.4f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Back down in trip. Open to progress.

8th	6 8th (6) (50/1 +24%) Delta Melody	50 50/1(+24%)	(6) Delta Melody 50/1, Twice-raced maiden. 125/1, fifth of 14 in novice hurdle at Tramore (16f, heavy) 24 days ago. Placed three times in points, Tramore fifth was big step forward from his hurdling debut.
9th	10 9th (10) (80/1 +47%) Road To The Weir	80 80/1(+47%)	(10) Road To The Weir 80/1, Twice-raced maiden. 100/1, thirteenth of 16 in novice hurdle at Roscommon (19.8f, good to soft) 34 days ago. Runner-up in a point-to-point, has struggled in his two runs over hurdles.

AW winner, modest turf form, showed mild promise on hurdles/yard debut at Killarney.
11th	7 11th (7) (40/1 -21%) Forever Frankie	40 40/1(-21%)	(7) Forever Frankie 40/1, Very good sixth of 10 in bumper (16/1) at Kilbeggan (16f, soft) 17 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Placed in a bumper on debut in 2021, unable to build on that in five subsequent outings.
12th	15 12th (15) (66/1 +56%) Saynothinatall	66 66/1(+56%)	(15) Saynothinatall 66/1, Once-raced maiden. Eleventh of 14 in bumper at this course (16.6f, soft, 100/1) on NH debut 42 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. 100-1 when towards the rear on debut in a bumper at the festival meeting at this venue.

14th	5 14th (5) (150/1 +0%) Clyde The Glide	150 150/1(+0%)	(5) Clyde The Glide 150/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. Eleventh of 14 in novice hurdle (150/1) at Sligo (20.6f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 19 days ago. Huge price when tailed off on hurdling debut at Sligo, safe to rule out.
15th	3 15th (3) (150/1 +0%) Bright Lad	150 150/1(+0%)	(3) Bright Lad 150/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Ninth of 13 in bumper (150/1) at Listowel (16f, good). Off 11 months. Switches from bumpers to hurdles. Little sign of ability in five starts and has been off for 12 months.

LTO Selection:

ALVANIY could be the answer to a tricky race. He was a market mover in Galway last month, but came in fifth. That was his first run since switching to Willie Mullins, though, who drops him back in trip now. Notably, he was runner-up in a Ballinrobe bumper over a similar trip to this one for his former trainer. Harley Street is a former Curragh maiden winner who must have been showing up well at home as he made his debut in a Grade 3 juvenile hurdle at Fairyhouse in February where he finished last of five. He was off for a long time before reappearing with a second-place finish in a Down Royal maiden hurdle at the start of the month and will strip fitter for that run. Hashtag Pretender showed plenty of promise when second in a maiden hurdle at Killarney last month. He wasn't at his best in subsequent placed runs at Roscommon and Tramore, but a return to better ground should aid his cause. Walmix and Smokey Putnum are others to consider.

The way HARLEY STREET loomed up over 2½m at Down Royal last time suggests this return to around 2m should suit and he's taken to strike at the third time of asking over hurdles. Alvaniy is another who may benefit from being dropped in trip and is second choice ahead of Barry Connell's Hashtag Pretender.

the vote goes to HASHTAG PRETENDER, no match for a Mullins-trained odds-on shot at Tramore but better judged on a Roscommon third

15:20 Galway Maiden Hurdle 17f PREDICTION SIMULATION

15:55 Galway Handicap Hurdle 17f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	4 1st (4) (5/1 +23%) Listentillitellyea	5 5/1(+23%)	(4) Listentillitellyea 5/1, Remains a maiden after 22 NH runs. 9/2, respectable sixth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Sligo (17.4f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Good second at Ballinrobe prior to that. Shortlist material. Five seconds from 20 starts over hurdles, has a bit to find with Makfils on Sligo running.
2	8 2nd (8) (5.5/1 +21%) Tomas O Maille	5.5 5.5/1(+21%)	(8) Tomas O Maille 5.5/1, 10/1, good third of 14 in novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (18f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Can give a good account. Form has included second in a 2m3f course maiden, chance now after recent Ballinrobe third.
3	5 3rd (5) (11/1 +56%) Gekkota	11 11/1(+56%)	(5) Gekkota 11/1, Respectable eighth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Cork (18.7f, good to soft, 22/1) 35 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Maiden winner over 2m4f early last season, hard to make a case on this season's form.
4	3 4th (3) (3.6/1 -20%) Realism	3.6 3.6/1(-20%)	(3) Realism 3.6/1, Promising individual. 6/1, creditable fifth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (16.9f, good to soft) 10 days ago, not knocked about. Likely capable of better for his leading connections. Flattered by 101 Flat rating, 108 hurdles mark is possibly a bit high but could feature.
5th	10 5th (10) (25/1 -79%) Mac's Xpress	25 25/1(-79%)	(10) Mac's Xpress 25/1, First run since leaving Jessica Harrington when fell last in handicap hurdle at Sligo (17.4f, good to soft) 19 days ago (might have been placed). Staying on when falling at the last at Sligo on first run for this stable, could go well.
6th	11 6th (11) (18/1 -50%) Young Fitzy	18 18/1(-50%)	(11) Young Fitzy 18/1, Course winner. Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle (8/1) at Limerick (16.2f, soft) 169 days ago Best form was two seasons ago, managed a few respectable displays last winter.
7th	9 7th (9) (20/1 +9%) Kitsilano	20 20/1(+9%)	(9) Kitsilano 20/1, 28/1, fifth of 6 in novice chase at Killarney (23f, soft) 17 days ago, not knocked about. Switches from chase to hurdles. Down in trip. Likely improver in handicaps. Two wins in points but nothing yet to suggest he can win over hurdles, handicap debut.
8th	13 8th (13) (5.5/1 +21%) Makfils	5.5 5.5/1(+21%)	(13) Makfils 5.5/1, Remains a maiden after 16 NH runs. Creditable fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle (11/2) at Sligo (17.4f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Stable having good spell. Should continue to give a good account. Flat winner in France, 0-16 over hurdles but two fair runs since return from a break.
9th	7 9th (7) (10/1 +17%) Tullyveery Lad	10 10/1(+17%)	(7) Tullyveery Lad 10/1, 9/2 and blinkered for 1st time, bit below form eighth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (21.6f, good). Off 14 months. Down in trip. 1-15 over hurdles, positive jockey booking but up against it on first run in 15 months.
10th	2 10th (2) (7.5/1 -7%) Cozone	7.5 7.5/1(-7%)	(2) Cozone 7.5/1, 16/1, good third of 13 in handicap hurdle at Sligo (25.4f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. Two wins on the Flat, still a maiden over hurdles, fair recent form over much further.
11th	6 11th (6) (33/1 -50%) The Vegas Raider	33 33/1(-50%)	(6) The Vegas Raider 33/1, Thrice-raced maiden over hurdles. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Makes handicap hurdle debut. In rear in a Flat handicap last week, previously a long-priced second in a maiden hurdle.
12th	17 12th (17) (66/1 +34%) So Easy Way	66 66/1(+34%)	(17) So Easy Way 66/1, 200/1, last of 10 in maiden at Roscommon (11.6f, good to soft) 7 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Booking of King a plus. Poor on last hurdle outing. Not easy to make a case for. Winner over fences, 0-13 over hurdles, out of his depth in a recent maiden run on the Flat.
15	15 \|PU\| (15) (11/1 +31%) Spanish John	11 11/1(+31%)	(15) Spanish John 11/1, 1 win from 2 runs this season. Winner in hurdle at Ballinrobe in August. Below form ninth of 15 in handicap hurdle (15/2) at Bellewstown (20.4f, good) 12 days ago. Made a winning handicap debut at Ballinrobe, down the field at Bellewstown off new mark.
14	14 \|PU\| (14) (40/1 +20%) Romella	40 40/1(+20%)	(14) Romella 40/1, 20/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Thurles (20.4f, good to soft), dropping away before straight. Off 10 months. First run for yard after leaving John J. Walsh. Won three in a row two seasons ago, absent for ten months but back on reasonable mark.

LTO Selection:

Handicap debutant Tomas O Maille would have a major chance on slower ground, after giving best in third in the closing stages of a Ballinrobe maiden hurdle, but there is precious little rain in the forecast. COZONE is taken to cope with the drop in trip that he encounters here. He wasn't beaten far into second at Downpatrick and into third in Sligo which gives him stronger claims than most. As he is well versed over further, he ought to be finishing well up the stiff hill in Galway now that he has hit form. Realism was third in a Group 3 on good ground on the Flat. He hasn't been placed in five outings over hurdles, but did perform better in fifth in Down Royal at the start of the month.

REALISM caught the eye when an improved fifth on his Down Royal reappearance 10 days ago and can build on that promise now, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Listentillitellyea could pose the chief threat if bouncing back to the level of his penultimate Ballinrobe second. Tomas O Maille and Makfils are others to consider, while Kitsilano is a possible improver in handicaps.

Some useful bumper and maiden hurdle form gives TOMAS O MAILLE a solid each-way chance in his first handicap

15:55 Galway Handicap Hurdle 17f PREDICTION SIMULATION

16:30 Galway Conditions Hurdle 21f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	3 1st (3) (4/1 -14%) Winter Fog	4 4/1(-14%)	(3) Winter Fog 4/1, Smart hurdler. 14½ lengths fourth of 7 to Macgiloney in minor event hurdle at Kilbeggan (25f, good to soft, 10/11) 30 days ago. Needs to get back to his best.
2	6 2nd (6) (1.25/1 +29%) Seddon	1.25 1.25/1(+29%)	(6) Seddon 1.25/1, In excellent form for new yard last season, winning at the Cheltenham (chase) and Punchestown (hurdle) Festivals in the spring. Sharper for a recent spin on the Flat. Leading claims.
3	2 3rd (2) (14/1 +50%) Macgiloney	14 14/1(+50%)	(2) Macgiloney 14/1, Reliable sort. Won hurdle at Kilbeggan last month. 7/1, creditable fifth of 13 in handicap chase there (25f, soft) 17 days ago, going in snatches. Switches from chase to hurdles. Has a bit to find.
4	4 4th (4) (5/1 -11%) Happy Jacky	5 5/1(-11%)	(4) Happy Jacky 5/1, Useful hurdler. Second of 7 in handicap hurdle (7/1) at Killarney (22.4f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Likely to go well if in similar form.
5th	1 5th (1) (3.2/1 +20%) An Mhi	3.2 3.2/1(+20%)	(1) An Mhi 3.2/1, Developed into a useful hurdler this season, winning all 4 starts, latest a conditions event at Downpatrick (17.3f, good) 29 days ago. Back up in trip. Has more on his plate giving weight away here but he's likely capable of even better.

LTO Selection:

SEDDON can take advantage of being best in at the weights. He ran up a four-timer between October and April and among those victories was the Plate at the Cheltenham Festival and a Grade B handicap hurdle at the Punchestown Festival. A recent run in a qualified riders' race at Killarney should have blown away the cobwebs. An Mhi sealed a four-timer over flights when obliging in Downpatrick last month. He faces a tough task at the weights, but is more than adept on decent ground. Winter Fog has the highest rating on 147 which entitles him to plenty of respect, however, he is more vulnerable on better ground. He was a beaten favourite in fourth at Kilbeggan in August. Happy Jacky was much improved in second in a quality handicap hurdle at Killarney which gives him a shot at prize money.

SEDDON should be spot on for this after a recent spin on the Flat and can enhance his excellent strike-rate since joining John McConnell. If Happy Jacky is in the same form as when second at Killarney last time he may give the selection most to do ahead of the progressive An Mhi.

Having run a fine race on Flat bow last time at Killarney after a break, SEDDON(nap) is well-treated at these weights and can score.

17:05 Galway Handicap Hurdle 22f - 17 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	10 1st (10) (11/1 +67%) Hutchie	11 11/1(+67%)	(10) Hutchie 11/1, 125/1, ninth of 14 in novice hurdle at Sligo (20.6f, good to soft) 19 days ago. More needed on handicap hurdle debut. Unplaced in four hurdles and two chases; could be a different proposition on h'cap debut.
2	5 2nd (5) (3/1 +40%) Tullyhogue Fort	3 3/1(+40%)	(5) Tullyhogue Fort 3/1, Course winner. Latest win in chase at Tipperary in July. Respectable fifth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (22.1f, good to soft, 10/3) 14 days ago. Enters calculations. Won this last year; decent run off this mark at Ballinrobe last time; should be involved.
3	16 3rd (16) (7/1 +22%) Church Lane	7 7/1(+22%)	(16) Church Lane 7/1, Very good sixth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (22.1f, good to soft, 14/1) 14 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Claims. Beaten around 8l at Ballinrobe over this trip last time; can be involved.

Booking of King a plus. Expected to be bang there off the same mark. Has possibilities of staying this trip but needs to bring her best.
5th	18 5th (18) (16/1 +20%) Mourne Mist	16 16/1(+20%)	(18) Mourne Mist 16/1, First form when sixth of 14 in handicap hurdle (50/1) at Ballinrobe (22.1f, good to soft) 14 days ago. More is required. Better effort at Ballinrobe last time when beaten 16l over this trip; needs fair bit more.
6th	9 6th (9) (33/1 -32%) Jaariam	33 33/1(-32%)	(9) Jaariam 33/1, Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (18.9f, heavy, 16/1), weakening after 4 out. Off 6 months. First run for yard after leaving P. G. Fahey with work to do. Third in a bumper last year but hasn't matched that over hurdles.
7th	12 7th (12) (25/1 +0%) Onefortheditch	25 25/1(+0%)	(12) Onefortheditch 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Eighth of 14 in novice hurdle (80/1) at Tramore (16f, heavy) 24 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Should have more to offer. Unplaced in three points' and three maiden hurdles; could fare better on handicap debut.
8th	19 8th (19) (8.5/1 +66%) Red Finch	8.5 8.5/1(+66%)	(19) Red Finch 8.5/1, Remains a maiden after 16 NH runs. Below form ninth of 17 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (22f, soft, 28/1) 46 days ago. Yet to finish in the first three and isn't easy to fancy even though yard is in top form.
9th	14 9th (14) (18/1 +10%) Max Time	18 18/1(+10%)	(14) Max Time 18/1, Good seventh of 15 in handicap hurdle at Sligo (17.8f, good to soft, 40/1) 32 days ago. Up in trip and not ruled out. Wasn't beaten far at Sligo last time; could get involved stepping up in trip.
4	4 \|F\| (4) (8/1 +50%) Greenhill Damsel	8 8/1(+50%)	(4) Greenhill Damsel 8/1, 28/1, last of 18 in handicap hurdle at Listowel (20f, good). Off 11 months. Decent 4th at Wexford in August last year; seems best watched on comeback.
3	3 \|F\| (3) (25/1 +24%) Blackjack Boy	25 25/1(+24%)	(3) Blackjack Boy 25/1, First run since leaving Eric McNamara when thirteenth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (17.8f, good to soft, 25/1). Off 11 months. Twelve runs since last win in 2020. Tailed-off on stable debut last year and isn't easy to fancy.
10th	8 10th (8) (14/1 -27%) Father Jed	14 14/1(-27%)	(8) Father Jed 14/1, Course winner. Latest win in hurdle at Ballinrobe in July. 10/1, creditable fifth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (22.1f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Considered. Won his 9th race when taking a Ballinrobe handicap in July over this trip; considered.
11th	22 11th (22) (40/1 +39%) Oldtown To Emly	40 40/1(+39%)	(22) Oldtown To Emly 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Sligo (25.4f, good to soft, 66/1) 19 days ago, losing touch quickly early final circuit. RESERVE Pulled-up on handicap debut at Sligo and has to leave that well behind; reserve.
12th	6 12th (6) (28/1 -75%) Kingsofthemidlands	28 28/1(-75%)	(6) Kingsofthemidlands 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Bit below form eleventh of 18 in handicap at Tipperary (12.5f, good to soft, 18/1) 8 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Remains open to improvement. Just a hint of ability; this trainer/jockey combination has been successful this season.
13th	15 13th (15) (50/1 -127%) Cappacurry Croi	50 50/1(-127%)	(15) Cappacurry Croi 50/1, Eleventh of 13 in handicap hurdle (33/1) at Wexford (16.4f, soft) 10 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Needs to show plenty of improvement stepping up markedly in trip.
14th	13 14th (13) (80/1 -60%) Nicoles Getaway	80 80/1(-60%)	(13) Nicoles Getaway 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 400/1, tenth of 15 in novice hurdle at Limerick (22f, soft) 46 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Others appeal more. Showed little in three maiden hurdles but could be a different proposition on h'cap debut.
17	17 \|RO\| (17) (10/1 +80%) Flemenora	10 10/1(+80%)	(17) Flemenora 10/1, Eleventh of 15 in handicap hurdle (50/1) at Ballinrobe (22.1f, good) 104 days ago. Others preferred. Maiden was beaten 21l on seasonal debut and will have to improve plenty from that.

LTO Selection:

BLACK TONIC unseated his rider when disputing the lead at the penultimate flight in Killarney. He is clearly on a dangerous mark of 93 and is sure to be popular. Dunleer Phoenix was beaten a fair way into third at Bellewstown, but that was in a higher grade so he is another threat. Father Jed and Tullyhogue Fort are two of the more likely contenders among the remainder.

ROSSIES TARA can race off the same mark as when a good sixth in a big field at Tramore last time and with that form working out well she gets the vote. Getabelle is feared most on the back of her very good Cork second, with Black Tonic, Tullyhogue Fort and Onefortheditch all in the picture too.

BLACK TONIC could be up to getting off the mark if none the worse for his Killarney fall last time when looking sure to go close.

6th	12 6th (12) (5/1 +9%) Amazing Amy	5 5/1(+9%)	(12) Amazing Amy 5/1, Good second of 14 in novice hurdle (5/1) at Ballinrobe (22.1f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Expected to be bang there. Maiden after 12 hurdle runs but solid in second last twice; 4lb rise to deal with.
7th	18 7th (18) (25/1 +24%) Added Bonus	25 25/1(+24%)	(18) Added Bonus 25/1, One win from 31 NH runs. 25/1, seventh of 13 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (20.2f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Chase winner is 0-22 over hurdles and doesn't make a lot of appeal.
8th	5 8th (5) (7.5/1 +38%) Roman Parish	7.5 7.5/1(+38%)	(5) Roman Parish 7.5/1, Below form fifth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (21f, heavy, 17/2) 24 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Maiden over hurdles after 12 starts; needs to come back to form of Downpatrick 2nd.
9th	3 9th (3) (14/1 +58%) Winter Carnival	14 14/1(+58%)	(3) Winter Carnival 14/1, 40/1, tenth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Roscommon (23.6f, good to soft) 34 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Wasn't beaten too far at Roscommon last time but has to return to best.
6	6 \|U\| (6) (66/1 -32%) Laishann	66 66/1(-32%)	(6) Laishann 66/1, 80/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Bellewstown (20.4f, good) 12 days ago, pulled up before 3 out. Pulled-up last three hurdle starts and isn't easy to fancy.
10th	19 10th (19) (20/1 +39%) Any Day Now	20 20/1(+39%)	(19) Any Day Now 20/1, Sixth of 11 in handicap chase at Kilbeggan (24.4f, good to soft, 14/1) 30 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Blinkered for 1st time. Maiden has been well beaten over hurdles and fences recently and needs much more.
11th	9 11th (9) (66/1 -100%) Great Rainbow	66 66/1(-100%)	(9) Great Rainbow 66/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fourteenth of 16 in novice hurdle (150/1) at Roscommon (19.8f, good to soft) 34 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Open to improvement. Showed little in three maiden runs but could fare better in handicaps.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (9/1 +10%) Blue In The West	9 9/1(+10%)	(1) Blue In The West 9/1, Excellent fifth of 16 in handicap hurdle (33/1) at Tramore (20.5f, good) 25 days ago. Each-way shout. Ran respectably on handicap debut at Tramore last time and is on the shortlist.
23	23 \|PU\| (23) (16/1 +52%) Leading Flame	16 16/1(+52%)	(23) Leading Flame 16/1, 50/1, fifth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (17.8f, good) 14 days ago, inadequate test. Up in trip. RESERVE. Not a bad run on comeback making handicap debut at Downpatrick; reserve.
10	10 \|PU\| (10) (18/1 -100%) Milfordfourthree	18 18/1(-100%)	(10) Milfordfourthree 18/1, 66/1, excellent fourth of 15 in novice hurdle at Killarney (22.8f, good) 52 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Enters calculations. Best hurdle run when fourth in a Killarney maiden last time; has a chance with a repeat.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (18/1 +45%) Sefton Warrior	18 18/1(+45%)	(4) Sefton Warrior 18/1, 18/1, last of 7 in handicap at Carlisle (11.2f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Significantly up in trip. Pulled up on last hurdle outing. Maiden over hurdles after 13 starts and pulled-up when last seen, so best watched.
14	14 \|PU\| (14) (100/1 -25%) Ozark Thunder	100 100/1(-25%)	(14) Ozark Thunder 100/1, Tenth of 15 in novice hurdle (80/1) at Sligo (16.9f, good) 64 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Well beaten in bumpers and maiden hurdles; needs to step up on handicap debut.

LTO Selection:

MILFORDFOURTHREE reverted from fences when a promising fourth to Emily In Paris in a mares maiden hurdle over a similar trip at Killarney last time, and a reproduction of that form would see her go close. Nuttorridge has put together a trio of consistent efforts at Downpatrick this summer and now replaces cheekpieces with blinkers, while Amazing Amy, Delias Pet, Ballagh Star, Roman Parish and recent Sligo winner Sittingonthefence are others to consider.

The vote goes to NUTTORRIDGE, who has been knocking on the door of late and perhaps the first-time blinkers will help eke out a little more. Delias Pet caught the eye when fourth at Ballinrobe a fortnight ago (unlucky not to finish closer) and she is next on the list ahead of Amazing Amy, who has found just one too good on each of her last two starts. Jacks Fancy and Great Rainbow are both open to improvement now handicapping.

BLUE IN THE WEST is worth chancing with improvement likely from his handicap debut at Tramore.

18:15 Galway Maiden Chase 18f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	10 1st (10) (0.91/1 +55%) Calico	0.91 0.91/1(+55%)	(10) Calico 0.91/1, Useful hurdler. Latest win in hurdle at Ballinrobe in July. 8/1, very good second of 9 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (18f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Makes chase debut and will be a big player if her jumping passes the test. Rated 128 over hurdles, weight allowance gives her a big chance if she takes to chasing.
2	5 2nd (5) (2.25/1 +32%) Rexem	2.25 2.25/1(+32%)	(5) Rexem 2.25/1, Promising sort. Fairly useful winner at 23f over hurdles. Creditable fourth of 8 in novice chase (6/5) at Downpatrick (19.2f, good) 14 days ago, doing too much too soon. Leading claims. Fair 123-rated hurdler, promising chase debut at Wexford, beaten favourite at Downpatrick.
3	3 3rd (3) (9/1 +10%) Kiki Badger	9 9/1(+10%)	(3) Kiki Badger 9/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Tongue strap on for 1st time, fifteenth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, soft, 25/1) 154 days ago. Makes chase debut. Failed to build on bumper and maiden hurdle wins last autumn, hard to have much faith.
4	8 4th (8) (100/1 -100%) Ally Cay	100 100/1(-100%)	(8) Ally Cay 100/1, Fairly useful hurdler but hasn't shown much in 2 starts for this yard, including on chase debut last time. Flat/hurdles winner, has struggled in two outings since returning from a long absence.
5th	1 5th (1) (4.5/1 -80%) Annexation	4.5 4.5/1(-80%)	(1) Annexation 4.5/1, Useful hurdler. Creditable second of 6 in minor event hurdle (8/1) at Downpatrick (17.3f, good) 29 days ago, needing stronger gallop. One to consider on chase debut. Flat winner, rated 130 over hurdles winning twice, should be well primed for chase debut.
6th	4 6th (4) (100/1 -150%) Out The Gap	100 100/1(-150%)	(4) Out The Gap 100/1, Modest chaser. Fifth of 12 in novice chase (80/1) at Tipperary (19.5f, soft) on debut over fences 69 days ago. Looks vulnerable. 91-rated hurdler, fair chasing debut at Tipperary but will need to gain further experience.
7th	2 7th (2) (16/1 -60%) Bravo Team	16 16/1(-60%)	(2) Bravo Team 16/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Roscommon (20.7f, good to soft, 13/2) 91 days ago, losing touch early final circuit. Makes chase debut. Yard also saddles Calico. Lost his way over hurdles after Down Royal win 15 months ago, needs to provide reassurance.
8th	7 8th (7) (50/1 +0%) Tony's Pet	50 50/1(+0%)	(7) Tony's Pet 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden under Rules. Ninth of 11 in novice chase at Kilbeggan (19f, soft, 33/1) on debut over fences 59 days ago. Soundly beaten in four hurdle starts, 33-1 when last of nine finishers on chasing debut.
9th	6 9th (6) (250/1 -67%) Shackleton Island	250 250/1(-67%)	(6) Shackleton Island 250/1, Pulled up in handicap chase at Roscommon (21.3f, soft, 100/1) 34 days ago. Either pulled-up or tailed off in seven starts since 2020, can be left out of calculations.

LTO Selection:

ANNEXATION has five career wins having scored three times on the Flat and twice over hurdles and is an interesting recruit to fences. The Henry de Bromhead-trained gelding is well suited by a sound surface and is sure to be well schooled. Riding arrangements suggest Calico is preferred of Gordon Elliott's pair. The four-year-old filly has won three times over hurdles this year and receives 17lb from the selection. Kiki Badger and point-to-point winner Rexem are others to consider. The latter gained both hurdle wins when making all over staying trips last year and switched to fences last month when runner-up at Wexford before headed after the last at Downpatrick.

Armed with a significant 4-y-o allowance, CALICO will take some stopping if she makes a good shape over fences at the first attempt. She has won three times over hurdles this year and went close in a Ballinrobe handicap a fortnight ago. Annexation is another starting out in this sphere on the back of a solid hurdles effort and is feared most ahead of Rexem, who is the clear pick of the handful of those with chase experience.

The weight allowance for four-year-olds gives CALICO good prospects if she can jump well enough on her first attempt over fences

Info	Form	Odds
1	6 1st (6) (8.5/1 +47%) Glenquin Castle	8.5 8.5/1(+47%)	(6) Glenquin Castle 8.5/1, Seven wins from 25 NH runs. 11/1, fair seventh of 13 in handicap chase at Kilbeggan (25f, soft) 17 days ago. Can give a good account. Won seven in a row in 2021; dropping down the handicap but recent runs not great.
2	2 2nd (2) (4/1 +0%) Iridescent	4 4/1(+0%)	(2) Iridescent 4/1, Promising individual. 3 wins from 4 runs this season. Career best when overcoming drop in trip to win 11-runner handicap chase (7/1) at Wexford (19.8f, heavy) 31 days ago. Up 9 lb but big shout back over further now. Notched a hurdle and two chase wins recently; 9lb higher but form of last win was franked.
3	11 3rd (11) (2.75/1 +45%) Takarengo	2.75 2.75/1(+45%)	(11) Takarengo 2.75/1, Fairly useful winner at 20f over hurdles. Creditable third of 9 in handicap (12/1) at Clonmel (16.6f, good) 4 days ago. Switches from Flat to chase. Merits consideration on his handicap chase debut. Modest record over hurdles but placed few times over fences; has to rebound from last time.
4	9 4th (9) (8/1 +27%) Slige Dala	8 8/1(+27%)	(9) Slige Dala 8/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2020. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, good third of 9 in novice chase (16/1) at Ballinrobe (23f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Shortlisted. Course bumper winner is yet to win in 7 chase starts but not a bad effort last time.
5th	3 5th (3) (3.33/1 +17%) Norwigi	3.33 3.33/1(+17%)	(3) Norwigi 3.33/1, 2 wins from 5 runs this season. 4/1, won 10-runner handicap chase at Killarney (20.8f, soft) 17 days ago, driven out. In the mix once more. Won in soft ground at Roscommon and Killarney; handles good too; 8lb higher.
6th	7 6th (7) (28/1 +30%) Deadheat	28 28/1(+30%)	(7) Deadheat 28/1, Last of 10 in handicap chase (33/1) at Wexford (16f, heavy) 31 days ago. Significantly back up in trip with more required. Hasn't won over fences for nearly 3 years and last two starts have been poor.
7th	1 7th (1) (4.5/1 +25%) Carrig Sam	4.5 4.5/1(+25%)	(1) Carrig Sam 4.5/1, Pulled up in handicap chase at Punchestown (21f, good to soft, 12/1) 136 days ago, beaten long way out. First run for yard after leaving A. L. T. Moore. Others more persuasive. Dual hurdle winner has run well at times over fences for former yard but inconsistent.
8th	8 8th (8) (20/1 -67%) Rebel Early	20 20/1(-67%)	(8) Rebel Early 20/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Fairly useful winner at 20f over hurdles. Very good third of 7 in novice chase at Kilbeggan (19.4f, good to soft, 22/1) 143 days ago. Claims. Four-time hurdle winner ran her best race over fences last time; can go well after a break.

LTO Selection:

IRIDESCENT has returned in good form this summer winning over hurdles at Ballinrobe before scoring over fences at Downpatrick and again last time at Wexford when beating Downtown Queen (won since). He's gone up a combined total of 17lb for those two chase victories but on the plus side is in a rich vein of form and well suited by this trip. Norwigi has similar claims having won at both Roscommon and Killarney last month and any rain will help his cause. Slige Dala is without a win in three years since completing a hat-trick (2 bumpers/maiden hurdle) but has dropped down to an attractive mark and was placed last time when fitted with cheek pieces at Ballinrobe. Carrig Sam has joined Gavin Cromwell and would be a danger to all if putting in a clear round.

IRIDESCENT did well to score at Wexford last time given he was dropped back in trip and can defy a 9 lb hike in the weights now his stamina is drawn out more. Takarengo is weighted to have a big say and next on the list ahead of Slige Dala and Glenquin Castle.

The runner-up from the race that IRIDESCENT won last time at Wexford won nicely since at the same course, so he can notch another win

18:45 Galway Handicap Chase 22f PREDICTION SIMULATION

Info	Form	Odds
1	13 1st (13) (0.44/1 +60%) Just For Love	0.44 0.44/1(+60%)	(13) Just For Love 0.44/1, Affinisea filly. Dam unraced sister to ungenuine but very smart hurdler/top-class chaser (stayed 25f) Outlander. Makes plenty of appeal on paper and is worth a chance to make a winning start. Out of an unraced mare from a strong family, obvious contender for champion combination.
2	11 2nd (11) (10/1 -25%) Final Escape	10 10/1(-25%)	(11) Final Escape 10/1, Soldier of Fortune filly. Closely related to a winner, and half-sister to 4 winners, including fair hurdler/useful chaser Final Assault and fairly useful hurdler Last Encounter. Interesting newcomer. Seventh foal out of a mare who has produced five winners, from a much respected source.
3	9 3rd (9) (4.5/1 -29%) Theflyingbee	4.5 4.5/1(-29%)	(9) Theflyingbee 4.5/1, Once-raced maiden. 80/1, second of 15 in bumper at this course (16f, soft) on NH debut 37 days ago. Should be on the premises. Shaped with much promise over C&D on debut, every chance now given normal improvement.
4	10 4th (10) (50/1 -178%) Westerhope	50 50/1(-178%)	(10) Westerhope 50/1, Westerner mare.

Half-sister to seven winners under both codes including the versatile Goodwood Mirage.
5th	5 5th (5) (22/1 -57%) Milanaway	22 22/1(-57%)	(5) Milanaway 22/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fourth of 12 in bumper at Tramore (16f, good to soft, 13/2) 22 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Denis Hogan. Needs to up her game. Has run creditably in two of her three bumper outings, the exception was on good ground.
6th	16 6th (16) (5.5/1 +21%) Shannon Bank	5.5 5.5/1(+21%)	(16) Shannon Bank 5.5/1, Once-raced maiden. 66/1, fourth of 15 in bumper at this course (16f, soft) on NH debut 37 days ago. May do better, so merits respect. Closely matched with Theflyingbee on running here at the Festival, should be thereabouts.
7th	8 7th (8) (66/1 -136%) Thats All	66 66/1(-136%)	(8) Thats All 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 25/1, creditable fourth of 8 in bumper at Tramore (16f, heavy) 24 days ago, ridden too aggressively. Stable in good form, improvement on the cards from Tramore fourth which came after a break.
8th	2 8th (2) (80/1 -100%) Crystal's Heir	80 80/1(-100%)	(2) Crystal's Heir 80/1, Vadamos mare. Half-sister to 5 winners, including modest chaser Bid Art. Dam lightly raced on Flat. Half-sister to several Flat winners effective over a range of distances, should stay.
9th	17 9th (17) (100/1 -150%) Valiretta	100 100/1(-150%)	(17) Valiretta 100/1, Once-raced maiden. Fifth of 8 in bumper (50/1) at Bellewstown (16.8f, good) on NH debut 65 days ago. Weakened into a moderate fifth first time out at Bellewstown, should improve from that run.
10th	7 10th (7) (200/1 -60%) Smart And Sharp	200 200/1(-60%)	(7) Smart And Sharp 200/1, Once-raced maiden. Hooded, tenth of 11 in bumper (66/1) at Ballinrobe (15.5f, good) on NH debut 48 days ago. Tailed off when 66-1 first time out in a bumper at Ballinrobe, hood used then is discarded.
11th	6 11th (6) (100/1 -100%) Salt Bridge	100 100/1(-100%)	(6) Salt Bridge 100/1, Shaped with a bit of promise when a well-held third in 8-runner bumper (80/1) at Bellewstown (17.2f, good) on debut 12 days ago. More required, though. Poor form in point-to-points, beaten around 30l when third at Bellewstown in first bumper.
12th	3 12th (3) (200/1 -33%) Doyen Flyer	200 200/1(-33%)	(3) Doyen Flyer 200/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 150/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, last of 12 in bumper at Down Royal (16.9f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Flopped on only start for Willie Mullins, has struggled in two outings for this stable.

14th	12 14th (12) (25/1 +0%) Highland Dew	25 25/1(+0%)	(12) Highland Dew 25/1, (Production):sixth foal: half-sister to 3 winners, including bumper winner/useful hurdler Jimmy Breekie (2m-2½m winner, by Alkaadhem), stayed 3m, and fairly useful hurdler Highland Penny (2½m-21f winner, by Doyen), stays 3m: dam unraced. Half-sister to useful bumper/hurdles winners Jimmy Breekie and to three other winners.

LTO Selection:

THEFLYINGBEE ran a cracker on debut when finishing strongly to beat all bar the gambled-on Fortunate Lighting over C&D at the Festival meeting this summer with Shannon Bank, also having her first run, close up in fourth. The Finbarr Hand-trained mare should have learned from that experience while the same remark may also apply to Jack Martin who was having his first ride on that occasion. Just For Love is an obvious threat from the powerful Mullins yard and she's out of an unraced sister to a list of smart types including Outlander and Western Leader. Final Escape is a half-sister to five winners including Final Assault, while Westerhope and Highland Dew are other newcomers to note in the market.

JUST FOR LOVE is from a good family and represents a top stable, so there's every chance she can open her account at the first time of asking in a thin race. Theflyingbee and Shannon Bank should pose the biggest threats.

The Willie Mullins-trained newcomer Just For Love could be hard to beat but THEFLYINGBEE shaped with promise at the festival

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

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. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
