Vincent Finegan's Galway Races Tips

Hamiyan

Hamiyan caught my eye finishing a never-nearer fourth in a handicap at Leopardstown on 9th July and is a horse to watch out for at Galway. Trained by Dermot Weld he was heavily backed (12/1 - 3/1) for a maiden at the course last September where he finished second. That previous course experience will stand to him if he lines up at the Festival for his shrewd trainer.

Solitary Man

The Galway Plate would look the obvious next target for Solitary Man after his cosy victory in the Midlands Grand National at Kilbeggan. Last year's winner of that race went on to finish fourth in the Galway Plate twelve months ago. The eight-year-old has lots of experience over fences and is generally a sound jumper which will stand to him in the hurly-burly of a Galway Plate.
