Order could bid to make amends at Galway

After refusing to race at Naas last week, Semblance Of Order may bid to redeem himself at Galway.

Already twice successful this season, the Andy Oliver-trained three-year-old planted himself in the stalls at Naas, much to the surprise of his Co Tyrone based handler.

"He disappointed us dreadfully the other day (in Naas). In all my years of training, I don't think I have ever had that," Oliver commented.

"We don't think he is keen on the blinkers. He didn't face them at Leopardstown, but then he came home hard (to win). The nature of him coming home is why we left them on - that was obviously a mistake.

"We will probably take all headgear off or revert to cheekpieces or something.

"He has (form on testing ground) and he is a very sound horse and can handle any ground, but he has form on soft ground so he shouldn't fear it.

"We didn't intend to go there (Galway), we thought that Naas was a nice option for him last week but that didn't happen so he is still a fresh horse.

"I didn't actually see if we are going to get in (to the Ahonoora). Had we won at Naas, that would have thrown us into the handicap.

"I would think he is going to be in the three-year-old race on Wednesday (extended mile handicap), if he runs."
