2:00 Galway Tips

Barry Connell (SR 25%) trained Low Style ran second of 13 on last start back in February (3m, Sft/Hvy) at Navan. Could be ready to go on first start. Six length winner on first seasonal outing in 2022. Sean Flanagan (SR 17%) rides.

Hee's Dynamite is in decent form and won two races ago in soft ground over 2m 5f. But the penalty, drier ground, and shorter distance didn't help last time when 5th of 16. Was still there in the top few when hitting the final fence but faded thereafter. Back to a longer trip in softer ground now, and the young claimer is promising and has won a couple of big field races recently.

Smallcraftwarning had a win at Killernay 5 starts ago. Then it has been placed in three of its last 4 starts, its latest finishing 2nd, beaten 4 lengths in a handicap chase at Punchestown. So, with a little improvement, it could get back to winning ways.

A deserving winner at 18f in hurdles, but recently he finished 4th over this C&D last month, followed by a respectable 3rd at Downpatrick just 11 days later. He is improving and has solid prospects, making him a worthwhile each-way bet at 10/1.

Plenty in here with chances but I'm looking for big double figure odds, so with that being said I'm happy to throw a dart with Denise O'Shea's 10 year old Veteran Gelding BALDURS GATE who returns after a 253 day sabbatical but wasnt awful when last seen returning from a long break (299 days) 3 runs back @Cork (20f Yielding/Soft) keeping on & to be fair this Son of STOWAWAY will appreciate the step back up in trip. This charge will want the ground a bit softer than the current yielding so fingers crossed for some rain. The selection might not be the most prolific with 1 chase victory to his name BUT does have a very respectable 50% place strike rate. Trainer has only ran one charge the past two weeks grabbing a winner with today's jockey Simon Torrens who himself has a respectable 28.95% place strike rate the past month aswell as a 21.82% place strike rate here @Galway (5 years). A bit tentative (aren't they all at this price) but the drop in class & potential rain I'm hoping this lad can at least hit the frame with current odds too big for me to ignore.

A very open-looking handicap where 25/1 shot Quornofamonday appeals. He will relish the ground and, although a bit in and out, showed what he was capable of with a facile victory at Fairyhouse a few runs back.
