6:15 Galway Tips

Madame secretary is the one to side with. His Grade 1 fourth in the Sefton at Aintree is strong form for a chasing debut, and it makes him an interesting recruit to fences in this field.

The 7f maiden in which Samnina ran at the Curragh contained some very good horses and it was no disgrace to be 4th beaten nearly 9l by Alpha and she was not far behind Livenka in 3rd who went on to beat Silver Kiss nearly 3 lengths when winning at Fairyhouse. She could take advantage of stall 1 to control the race on the rail.

Silver Kiss ran a lovely race on debut. Not asked too hard a question. Likely this was the target, as the trainer normally does well round here.

Wunderschon looks a very interesting debutant here for the Mrs John Harrington stable that has had 3 winners in the last couple of weeks and generally has had the runners in good form. Wunderschon is a sister to Wonderful Moon, a Group 2 winner, so comes with more than credible pedigree, certainly able to mix it in this company.
