Galway 14:55 Result

Race Tip

ILIKEDWAYURTHINKIN has a race-fitness edge over his main rivals and that may prove crucial. The Yeats gelding, who demonstrated his liking for this track when winning twice over hurdles at the 2019 Festival, got off the mark at the fifth attempt over fences when beating the useful Russian Diamond at Ballinrobe last month. That was his first run in four months and, with his confidence boosted, he can build on that success. Eleazar Des Neiges is the one to beat on ratings and, including his rider's claim, is 15lb well-in with the selection. He was caught close home by the useful Forza Milan in a beginners' chase at Fairyhouse in January but hasn't been seen since being pulled up at the same venue at Easter. Soldier At War beat subsequent improver Enjoy D'allen at Kilbeggan just under a year ago but, along with last week's Roscommon winner Majestic Maid, has it all to do at the weights.
