A Trainer And Jockey To Watch At Galway Today Jumps action in Ireland on Tuesday is from Galway, with seven races at the Ballybrit location from 2.20-5.20, including a promising looking beginners' chase at 4.20 over two-and-a-quarter-miles. We have picked out a trainer and jockey worth keeping tabs on for today's Galway action. Gavin Cromwell As the National Hunt season gets set to gear up in the coming weeks, plenty of eyes will be fixed on Cheltenham Gold Cup-winning trainer Gavin Cromwell. He enjoyed notable Grade 1 successes at home and in Britain last season, none more so than when Inothewayurthinkin took the Gold Cup crown away from Galopin Des Champs in the Cotswolds. The bar has been raised and the Cromwell team will be expected to deliver regularly on home soil now — can he match the rise of Henry De Bromhead after the Knockeen handler gained his early successes of note at the Cheltenham Festival? Cromwell has been quiet of late, with just four winners from more than 50 runners, but it's reasonable to believe things will pick up soon as the season begins to take shape. A point-to-point winner in March, Weonlyhavedone was only midfield in the 2m2f good-ground bumper at the Galway Races here in July on his Rules/stable bow, but more can be expected of him now going jumping in the Tote Always SP Or Better At Galway Maiden Hurdle (2.20) that opens the card. Later, Cromwell accounts for a trio of runners in what could be an informative Race In Pink Raceday On Sunday 26th October Beginners Chase (4.20) over two-and-a-quarter-miles. Bridie's Beau (Kieran Buckley), Will The Wise (Keith Donoghue) and Crescent Moon (Sean Flanagan) give him a strong hand to play. Each has winning hurdles form to call upon and should be expected to do better in this sphere. Will The Wise was second in a novice chase at Killarney (2m7f, good) in May, no match for the once-smart Pied Piper, and it's noted that Donoghue sticks with him now dropped back in trip off a break. The trainer/jockey combo won this same contest 12 months ago with The Other Mozzie. Simon Torrens Simon Torrens has a nice book of three rides on the card as the Co Tyrone pilot seeks a Galway winner. He gets the leg up on Zaryagle for Philip Rothwell in the SIS Supporting Irish Racing Handicap Hurdle (2.50), with the four-year-old Free Eagle gelding set to make his handicap debut having shown a hint of promise on the second of three qualifying runs at Roscommon in August. Torrens and Rothwell team up again in the Ryans Cleaning Novice Handicap Hurdle (3.20) with Kingkong Ciergues, who shaped with promise when third here over course and distance last month on his return after six months off and will have solid claims if building on that effort. Finally, Torrens partners Inthenickoftime for Enda Bolger in the Mongey Communications Handicap Chase at 4.50 - the penultimate race on the card. He has figures of 332 in a trio of starts over fences and ran well upped in trip to almost three miles over hurdles at Roscommon in August off a short break. He's back down in trip and should continue to give his running in the JP McManus hoops.
