Galway 18:05 - w/o Arch Enemy and Fratas

oddschecker Verdict

Second over hurdles here on Wednesday, the Joseph O'Brien-trained FRATAS looks well handicapped back on the Flat. A five-time winner in this discipline for previous connections, the mare showed little on her stable debut at Limerick in June but put in a much improved effort last time. Having been rated higher in the past, a mark of 78 shouldn't be beyond her now and the O'Brien horses couldn't be in better order. Course and distance winner Thatwilldoso arrives here on the back of a narrow victory at Roscommon. Despite a subsequent rise, she should be involved. Pillar Of Hope will need luck in running but has to be respected, while Arch Enemy also warrants attention if taking up this engagement.

Prediction: 1st Fratas, 2nd Thatwilldoso, 3rd Pillar Of Hope
