15:50 Galway Maiden 9f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Aidan O'Brien has won nine of the last 12 renewals, including with Kyprios in 2020, and his GROSVENOR SQUARE is a half-brother to Irish Derby winner Santiago. By Galileo, and with Beresford and Royal Lodge Stakes entries later this month, he could be smart. Stablemate Brave And Bold provides company and while he is by Frankel and is a brother to a Listed winner, holds no big-race entries and is, potentially, second-string. Gandolfo has form and and should run to a useful level but was probably flattered by his finishing position, racing against newcomers, at Leopardstown. Naturally Nimble was a E140,000 breeze-up purchase last May and is a half-brother to a Group 3 winner and while he holds a Beresford entry, is already gelded. Norwalk Havoc has been gelded since a disappointing debut.

Tricky, and the market should offer vital clues. GROSVENOR SQUARE, Brave And Bold and Naturally Nimble are all bred for big things and are preferred in that order as things stand.

Experience is often a big help to a juvenile at this venue and perhaps GANDOLFO can master Grosvenor Square

16:20 Galway Stakes 9f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Connections of LAUGHIFUWANT will be doing a rain dance ahead of the forecast precipitation. Once rated 106, he returned to form recently, ran well in the Cesarewitch last month and is a three-time course winner. Adelaise has run well in big handicaps this summer and was recently second in a similar race at Leopardstown. Fourth at Royal Ascot in June, she has held her form and is again ridden by a 7lb claimer but softening ground would be concerning. Duke Of Leggagh will be suited by softening ground but has been well enough held recently while Trachonitis also likes soft but was behind Duke Of Leggagh in March. Shigar has plenty to find with the selection on course form last month.

ADELAISE remains winless this term but turned in another solid effort when runner-up at Leopardstown (1m) 3 weeks ago and in a race where a host have something to prove, she looks to hold sound claims. Laughifuwant is fancied to emerge as the chief threat.

This is a tight little contest but LAUGHIFUWANT has a good record at this venue and should have ground conditions to suit

16:55 Galway Handicap 9f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

IMPOSING SUPREME is a three-time course winner who continues to hold form. Nicely drawn in 6 and a winner last July, his rating has dropped a little recently and is ground-versatile. Facethepuckout carries a bucket of weight more today than in the recent Cesarewitch but met significant traffic then and wasn't beaten a million miles. A ground-versatile four-time winner, he seems suited by this slightly longer distance nowadays and is dependable. Colin Keane is booked for stablemate Rockbury Lad, who disappointed at Killarney and is a 17-race maiden, but had previously met trouble in-running at Leopardstown. Dual course-and-distance winner Out On Friday has his Galway 10th run and won the 2020 renewal. He might prefer slightly further nowadays and was reported to have hung right at Naas last month. Rampage continues in form under his 7lb claimer and should compete from his career high rating. Veteran On Cool Poet won three times at the 2019 Galway festival but hasn't won on the flat since September 2019.

ROCKBURY LAD needs to shrug off a lesser effort in blinkers at Killarney but he'd previously been shaping up well and, with cheekpieces refitted, it would come as no surprise to see a better showing. The selection's stablemate Facethepuckout and Rampage are a couple of likely threats, with Pierre Lapin another worth keeping an eye on.

Both Michael O'Callaghan runners are of major interest, with narrow preference for FACETHEPUCKOUT over Rockbury Lad.

17:25 Galway Maiden 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

TANNOLA bumped into the Ingabelle Stakes winner at Naas last month and unless she bumps into another high-class newcomer, should win. Unrelated to her trainer's Tahiyra, she nonetheless has an excellent pedigree and has shown a high level of form in two runs. She has already comfortably beaten the previously-raced runners. Newcomer Vassula Ryden also has a good pedigree, being out of a Listed winner which has already produced a triple-Group 3 winner. She could be smart but concedes 2lb to the selection and debuts at a difficult course for newcomers. Fellow debutante Miss Tapley, the 14th foal, is a half-sister to eight winners and could also be useful. The Crafty Girl showed some improvement at Cork.

TANNOLA sets a tall standard, and should be a tough nut to crack, though Miss Tapley, in particular, and Vassula Ryden are newcomers with some appeal on paper, and market support for either must be noted.

This should be straightforward for TANNOLA, whose Naas run was strongly endorsed by the winner Kitty Rose at Leopardstown on Saturday

17:55 Galway Handicap 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

GIUSEPPE CASSIOLI is winless since March 2022 and has been running over a mile recently but runs in a winnable race. His previous win came at this distance and being a keen-goer, is likely to race with the pace, although softening ground would be a concern. Mercurial's only win, from 21 runs, was in 2021 but ran well over six furlongs at the Curragh. He should be suited by reverting to this distance and competes from a career-low rating, under his usual 7lb claimer. Storm Eric's only win, and his best form, is on the all-weather but his rating has fallen recently and will also be suited by reverting to this distance. Purring Along has been running well and was a distance winner in May while Inablink showed minor promise on recent handicap debut. Dance Emperor, who returned from 683 days off recently, will be unsuited by this distance.

GIUSEPPE CASSIOLI produced his best effort yet for his present yard when runner-up at Killarney in July and, operating from a handy mark/partnered by Colin Keane, he could be worth siding with to build on that now. Purring Along rates a threat, with last year's winner Pimstrel another worth keeping an eye on. Mercurial can't be ruled out either.

Best on a sound surface, GIUSEPPE CASSIOLI won't want much rain to fall but if it stays dry he has the speed to break his turf duck.

18:25 Galway Listed 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

ECHOES IN RAIN won the amateur handicap at this course in 2022 and drops in grade having been well held in the Ascot Gold Cup in June. A smart middle-distance hurdler, she could well be better suited by dropping to this type of flat middle-distance, given she is such a keen-goer. Azazat has smart recent form, is ground-versatile and should compete, despite running in first-time cheekpieces. She holds maiden Thunder Roll (by 1.75 lengths) and Final Gesture (11 lengths) on Cork form in June. In-form Amusement is ground-versatile and should get involved but also runs in first-time cheekpieces. Lot Of Joy has run three times at this course without winning and drops in distance.

The drop back in trip shouldn't hinder ECHOES IN RAIN at this level and she can resume winning ways. Her stablemate Lot of Joy is a potential threat, while Amusement looks the pick of the 3-y-os.

Older runners have tended to do better than the Classic crop in this race in recent years but AZAZAT has strong prospects nonetheless

18:55 Galway Handicap 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

The well-bred EVANS SECRET ran well on handicap debut over course-and-distance last month. A 45,000gns yearling and out of a winning half-sister to Group 1 winner Mukhadram, he stayed on well from off the pace in August, is suited by easy ground and is open to plenty progression. Kermiya also ran well on handicap debut recently, finishing ahead of Glyde Ranger. Aga-Khan owned-and-bred, she finished well at Navan and while she drops in distance, has proven form on easy ground and should benefit from that handicap-debut. Chatterbox also ran well over this distance at Killarney. She should again compete from her rating but is vulnerable to unexposed types, being a 10-race maiden. Elsa's Pride won on handicap debut at Cork and while softening ground could be a concern, is open to more progression.

KERMIYA showed much-improved form when a length third on her handicap bow at Navan 12 days ago and makes plenty of appeal off the same mark with further progress on the cards. Chatterbox was only just denied off this mark at Killarney last time and is next best ahead of the versatile Golden Sandbanks.

Having been chinned on the line at Killarney last time, CHATTERBOX(nap) should be able to go one better off the same mark.

19:25 Galway Maiden 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

DEADLY NIGHTSHADE put in plenty of good late work to finish third at Bellewstown. The stiff finish in Galway should suit her well based on that performance. She looks to be going the right way and holds Erato (sixth) and Diyaba (eighth) on that run. Dermot Weld's Azmaniya has to rate a danger on debut. This Deep Impact filly out of a Galileo mare catches the eye on paper and wouldn't need to be a star to be heavily involved here. New Phenomenon is up in trip and gets first-time cheekpieces. She posted a runner-up berth over an extended 1m1f at Gowran Park in June. Spring Wind ran well in third in a qualified riders' maiden at Killarney and won't be anywhere near 125/1 this time.

DEADLY NIGHTSHADE stepped up on debut when a never-nearer third in a maiden at Bellewstown 2 weeks ago and can put her experience to good use up against well-connected newcomer Azmaniya. New Phenomenon is another to consider.

With further progression likely from DEADLY NIGHTSHADE, she can uphold the last time out Bellewstown form with Erato and Diyaba
