Guinness Galway Hurdle Handicap (Grade 3) · 2m0f11y
Solness arrives here just 11 days after a placed effort — third last time out and a runner-up two starts back — showing he's in consistent form, and he has experience of today's trip and going. With a trainer firing at 28%, he's the one to beat.
Casheldale Lad arrives here as a double winner in recent starts, and has run over today's trip and going — giving him a solid profile at 165 lb off an official mark of 152. The sole concern is a fall two starts back, though a close third last time suggests confidence is intact.
Ndaawi bounces back from an unplaced run with a win on his latest start, and he has experience over today's trip and conditions, making him a genuine threat at 165 lb; the 60-day absence is the one query.
Fourth last time out and fifth two starts back give El Cairos a modest recent profile, but a win three starts back shows he retains ability. He has experience over today's trip and going, though 93 days off the track is a fitness query at 156 lb.
Second last time out, with a disqualification before that muddying the waters, Laafi has run over today's trip and going and our rating of 150 marks him out as a serious contender; the main concern is 82 days off the track carrying 156 lb.
Winless in his last five starts, with a second four starts back the lone highlight in a patchy recent sequence, Puturhandstogether returns after 44 days off carrying 153 lb; has run over today's trip and going, and a trainer firing at 28% offers some hope.
Winless in his last four starts and returning on just three days' rest, Tounsivator faces a stiff ask carrying 152 lb, though he has run over today's trip and going before and a rating of 145 suggests he holds residual ability in a big field.
Ran to some effect last time out with a second, and a winner two starts back keeps her profile alive, though she carries a hefty 151 lb and ranks seventh of 21 on our rating; has run over today's trip and going, but patchy recent form is the concern.
Returned a winner four starts back but has pulled up since and was beaten again three days ago; he has run over today's trip and the 151 lb burden won't help him make his way back from the top of that recent slide.
Winless in his last four starts, though a second three starts back offers some encouragement; he has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 143 suggests he holds ability. The 88-day absence and 149 lb burden are the key concerns.
Starting Fifteen landed a win three starts back and was second four starts back, but fifth last time out suggests he returns here out of form; has run over today's trip and going, though 111 days off the track and 148 lb to carry are notable hurdles.
Consistent enough in recent starts, with a win four starts back and another five starts back, but he hasn't converted in his last three outings — a fourth, third, and runner-up. Has run over today's trip and going, and returns fit on 20 days' rest, though 146 lb is a stern burden.
Ragmans Corner won last time out and has distance and going experience in his favour, but ranked 19 of 21 on our figures he faces a stiff task here; 67 days off the track adds another question mark for the handicapper to weigh up.
Ranked 17 of 21 on our figures, Putapoundinthejar faces a stiff ask under 142 lb, and his recent form is patchy — third and fifth in the two starts before that, though he does arrive on the back of a win last time out and has run over today's trip and going before.
Beauvallon has winning form in recent starts — a winner two starts back and again three starts back — but ranked bottom of the field on our figures, he faces a stiff task conceding weight all round off 141 lb, despite arriving fit and with experience of today's trip and going.
Sageborough bounced back to winning ways last time out, but his last-five record is mixed — a fall and two out-of-the-money finishes among them — and 64 days off plus 141 lb make confidence hard to hold at a handicap mark of 128.
Ranked 18 of 21 on our figures, Royal Hollow is hard to fancy despite a lively recent profile. She was a winner three starts back, and third two starts back, but 140 lb is a stern ask, and her rating of 127 leaves her well behind the top weights on paper; distance and going experience at least gives her a fair footing.
Barbizon has experience of today's trip and conditions, and a win in his last five starts gives him a platform, but back-to-back unplaced efforts are a concern; the 140 lb burden does him no favours here.
Pulled up and unseated in two of his last four starts before a third last time out, Kai Lung arrives 65 days fresh and is hard to fancy ranked 15 of 21 on our figures; he has run over today's trip and going, and that sole recent win does at least show ability on a good day.
Ranked 20 of 21 on our figures, Thisistheway is hard to fancy despite experience over today's trip and going; she does boast a win in her last five starts — five starts back — but a fall and a fourth in more recent outings make her a tough sell here.
Winless in his last five starts, with a pulled up and two unplaced efforts among recent form, No Looking Back is hard to fancy ranked 16 of 21 on our figures; 89 days off adds to the concern, though a third two starts back and experience over today's trip and going offer slim encouragement.
