Galway Race 7 - Rockshore Refreshingly Irish Race
BUNTING (7) resumes maintaining a solid fresh record. This proven first-up performer holds leading claims. A DREAM TO SHARE (2) was a dominant 1.5L maiden winner over 3017m at Leopardstown upon return. Main danger. SKY CAPTAIN (5) made a winning debut tackling 2414m at Roscommon. Likely to improve. Include. CHARLUS (8) disappointed at Ascot on latest outing. May strip fitter and bounce back.

Second run back. First-up after 10 months 6th of 11 at Roscommon in LR on July 1 over 2414m, 8 len behind Chally Chute carrying 62kg at $67. Previously second-up 3rd of 18 at this track on July 30 2024 over 1709m, 1.75 len behind Mexicali Rose carrying 59kg at $17. Rates highly and should improve.

Freshened since claiming his maiden victory on debut; won by a neck at Roscommon July 1 over 2414m defeating Colpe Cross carrying 61kg at $4. Has upside and can remain unbeaten.

Second-up. Comes off a 45-day let-up. First-up after three months raced on the pace before fading to run last of 16 at Ascot on June 17 over 2816m, 19 len behind French Master with 59.5kg at $5.50. Previously second-up 12th of 17 at Cheltenham in the G1 Triumph Hurdle on March 14 over 3419m, 52 len behind Poniros with 71kg at $67. Has a solid second up record and looks a definite top-three hope.
