John J. Galvin Chase
2m 3f
Going: Good (Good to Yielding in places)
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneGreat to see race conditions here afford less high-profile names to climb aboard some cracking horses, and Barry Browne can make the most of his opportunity on the 160-rated SAMCRO. Browne enjoyed great days on the unfortunately ill-fated Swamp Fox, and Gallant John Joe is another that took him up a level. The bottom line ought to be anyway, that Samcro won't lack for assistance from the saddle, and the dual Cheltenham Festival hero can build on a Killarney success to beat Peregrine Run, Darasso and Snow Falcon. The Cullentra horses aren't firing on all cylinders, which is a concern, but class may see the selection home in front. Twice a Listowel winner, Snow Falcon looks well positioned to pounce if not.
