Galway Races Tips
Off that weight I knew he had a huge chance. The trip (2m1f) was too short for him last time. It was 2m2f today on a bigger track and really he's a two and a half mile horse. He's as tough as nails. He's entered in the novice handicap chase at Cheltenham but he won't get in. I think that much of him. He's the real deal. He will probably go for the Aon Chase at Punchestown. That might be his next run, and he would prefer better ground. He handles soft but is better on good ground. He will campaign away for the summer. Draycott Place (stable companion, finished last) is probably not over his fall at Thurles last time. He didn't travel like he usually would.
