FormscanBy Michael Graham - SNUGSBOROUGH BENNY can go well in this ultra competitive Galway Plate. There is very little to fault in his last three appearances over fences. He won last year's Galway Blazers over course and distance, which should stand him in good stead for this test, and was an easy winner of a rated chase at Fairyhouse in February. He didn't land a glove on the winner of the Irish Grand National, Burrows Saint, but kept on creditably for fourth place. A pipe opener over hurdles in mid-July ought to have left him spot on for this. The strongest recent trends are that the winner is nine or younger and carries 10st 13lb or less - Snugsborough Benny meets this criteria. The stats are against Peregrine Run who has 11st 9lb on his back, however, he could pick up a more than healthy cheque and, at 16/1, will doubtless appeal to many each-way players. He ran in this last year when ninth on unsuitable ground. He has his ground now and is in electric form with five wins in a row since May. He is given second preference. This is a tough task off top weight for Black Corton but he goes well for Bryony Frost, and is a Grade One winner over fences. Coney Island has been keeping very good company and it will be interesting to see how he fares under his big weight. The enigmatic and talented Yorkhill cannot be ruled out. Regal Encore could be one running on for a place at a good price. Gordon Elliott's Ravenhill is dangerous off a light weight.
