Galway Race 5 - Race In Pink Raceday On Sunday 26Th October Beginners Chase
OL MAN DINGLE (3) completed a hurdle hat-trick at the end of 2024 and now goes chasing for the first time after a below par fifth in a 4500m novice hurdle at Navan during March. Improvement expected as looks to hold ability. Rates highly. WILL THE WISE (5) recorded a sixth in a 4800m Premier Handicap Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival (UK) this year. Brings chase experience having produced a 4600m novice chase second at Killarney during May. Big chance. ROAD TO HOME (4) represents a top yard. Might bounce back after a late fall attempting a 4600m Listed novice handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse. Interesting on chase debut. MORE COKO (2) warrants a second look.
