'My banker of the week' - Paddy Flood reveals his Galway NAP

By irishracing.com news

The COLM QUINN BMW Mile Handicap is the feature race on day 2 of Galway Races. Paddy Flood joined Emma Nagle and Johnny Ward on our Galway Preview Show to give their thoughts on the race and Paddy reveals his nap of the week.

COLM QUINN BMW Mile Handicap, 6.40 Tuesday

Johnny Ward

Coeur D'or - He won the race two years ago, he was actually drawn 15 then, he's drawn 14 this year. He's slightly higher in the weights but he's a very consistent horse. I don't think the draw will be a major problem for him with Chris Hayes and I'd probably go with him.

Paddy Flood

Slieve Binnian - This horse is winning and he's enjoying winning. Now I know he's gone up in weights and he's drawn 12 which is going to be tough. Where's the ceiling with him? He's off 96 now and the way he won the last day, I know he got a good hike, but he's going in here with a lot of ‘ones’ beside his name and that's what you want.

Emma Nagle

Norwalk Havoc - I like Norwalk Havoc in this, he's around 10-1 for Jessica Harrington and Shane Foley. He was second in this last year obviously as a three-year-old but he’s been campaigned sparsely this year.

He was second to Mexicali Rose last year as a three-year-old, he's three pounds higher now but as a bigger stronger four-year-old, I think he could have a bit more to give off that mark.

Paddy Flood’s Banker of the Week, COLM QUINN BMW Novice Hurdle, 5.05 Tuesday

La Note Verte - probably my banker of the week. I think she's a very good horse and the race she won the last day - that can throw good horses and she bolted in.
