Galway Plate Trial Handicap Chase
2m 3f
Going: Good (Good to Yielding in places)
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneYOU RAISED ME UP can take this Galway Plate trial en route to the big race itself. A smart hurdler, he has had just the three starts over fences to date, making his handicap debut in this small field. Martin Brassil has few equals when it comes to lining a horse up for a big handicap and this former Galway bumper winner is proven around Ballybrit. A win here should be enough to see the nine-year-old get into the Galway feature. Birchdale has enjoyed a new lease of life since joining Enda Bolger, winning the Paddy Power before running respectably at Punchestown. He shouldn't be too far away once again. Born By The Sea has some solid handicap form that would make him a threat to all, while Arahecan has his optimum conditions.
