UK Horse Racing Tips: Galway

APPLE'S OF BRESIL has shown plenty of promise both in bumpers and maiden hurdles and may have found a good opportunity to open his jumping account. The Barry Connell-trained gelding won a Sligo bumper in July and was a creditable fourth behind Jackfinbar over C&D at the Festival meeting. Portcammon won a Roscommon bumper in good style on debut and was absent for a year until reappearing again in a bumper here last month, while The Mediator also won a bumper on debut way back in 2021 and has plenty of experience over hurdles. Point-to-point winner Olympy De Cerisy has been expensive to follow in bumpers.
Prediction : 1st Apples Of Bresil 2nd Portcammon 3rd Olympy De Cerisy

LIBERATED LIGHT won a 1m6f Killarney maiden on the Flat last year and has been mainly campaigned over hurdles since. The well-bred Muhaarar gelding appears on a competitive mark judged on his third to Gabriel Ranger in a 2m2f handicap at Cork last time and gets the vote over Granpa Ger. The latter has filled the runner-up spot on his latest two starts, including behind Rauzan at Tramore last month, while The Vegas Raider is another to consider having won at Ballinrobe on his penultimate outing. Burru has been consistent in 2m4f handicaps but may find this distance a bit sharp, while In For The Night, Tomas O Maille and Makfils are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Liberated Light 2nd Granpa Ger 3rd The Vegas Raider

THE WALLPARK has progressed well this summer and is on a hat-trick after landing a valuable 2m6f here at the Festival meeting. The Gordon Elliott-trained gelding stays well and gets the vote in a race where the market will provide important clues. Fakir D'oudairies is a high-class gelding over fences winning four times at Grade 1 level but hasn't run over hurdles in over five years, while French Dynamite is also a smart chaser and won his last hurdle start but that was nearly two years ago. Lord Erskine has proved a tremendous dual-purpose performer for connections and rolled back the years when landing a valuable 2m handicap hurdle at the Dublin Racing Festival this spring, while Kings Hill steps up in trip and has a bit to do at the weights.
Prediction : 1st The Wallpark 2nd Fakir DOudairies 3rd French Dynamite

REPEAT THAT returned to form with a vengeance when slamming his 14 rivals over 3m at Kilbeggan on Friday. The Shantou gelding, who only joined Harry Kelly this year and was adding to a previous win three years ago, can follow up under a 7lb penalty. The lightly-raced Glenmorefiftyfour advertised his claims when runner-up over 2m4f at Sligo last month, while Sydney Cruiser is stepped up in trip following a couple of placed efforts. Mrs Biddle, Tom Red and Imbolc are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Repeat That 2nd Glenmorefiftyfour 3rd Mrs Biddle

BUT WHAT ABOUT ME was just joined when falling at the last at Sligo last time and may be able to gain some compensation. The Norman Lee-trained mare was tackled by stable-mate Shuil Na Tra when crashing out and that was an improved showing on previous form. She's still relatively unexposed. Kilmurry Jj was beaten favourite on his last outing and may just have been on the back-foot then after a mistake early. He still looks nicely treated over hurdles and could be a danger. Reddys Island also looks potentially well in over hurdles, compared to her chase mark, and is another to consider on her return to action.
Prediction : 1st But What About Me 2nd Kilmurry Jj 3rd Reddys Island

JESSE EVANS was running a big race on his chase debut in Killarney until a mistake two from home. He travelled like the winner running down to that fence but a blunder knocked the stuffing out of him and he did well in the end to finish third to Arctic Fly. With the experience under his belt he looks the one to beat now. Shecouldbeanything didn't come out of the stalls on the Flat last time but could be a danger now trying fences. The Malinas mare was smart over timber and getting 7lb from the boys is a help. Jet Setting Jim ran a solid race when third here at the festival and is another for the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Jesse Evans 2nd Shecouldbeanything 3rd Jet Setting Jim

NEVERADULLMOMENT seems to have a real liking for the course here and can open his chasing account now. The Mahler gelding has gained both career wins here, the latest coming when scoring over timber at the festival meeting. He went up 8lb for that effort and it's no surprise to see him switched back to fences now. He remains on 113 over the larger obstacles, the same mark he won off here last time over timber. King Ferdinand looks an obvious threat. The Milan gelding was a good winner at Killarney last month and bids to defy a 9lb rise. Bocelli's Voice has been running consistently well and is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Neveradullmoment 2nd King Ferdinand 3rd Bocellis Voice

MUMMY DERRY is a really interesting newcomer for Willie Mullins. The Yeats filly is a half-sister to exciting chaser Spillane's Tower, one of the top novices of last season who secured Grade 1 wins at Fairyhouse and Punchestown. Meitheal is probably the pick of those with form. She has been runner-up on both outings to date, at Wexford, and is entitled to play a big part with that experience under her belt. Clever Minded shaped with promise when third on her debut at the festival meeting here and with natural improvement she is another that has to be respected.
Prediction : 1st Mummy Derry 2nd Meitheal 3rd Clever Minded
