Galway Races Tips
That's five years in a row now that he's won first time out, and we have always struggled to get a second run into him. He's got a lot of issues but the ground doesn't seem to make that much difference to him, or the trip,. He won over two miles and five furlongs here last year, and we just thought the longer trip today would give him a chance to get into it. Maybe we should put him away now for the Irish National next year!. Empire Of Dirt is in good form after Cheltenham. He'll have a few entries but he could go for the Topham at Aintree.
