Meade hoping for rain for Realt Exciting novice chaser Realt Dubh could turn out again at Galway this weekend, providing the rain comes. Noel Meade's charge made a big impression when beating a good field in some style on his debut over fences at Navan last month. The trainer revealed his hopes that the son of Beneficial could compete at the top level after that victory and he will bid to step up in class on Sunday in the Grade 3 Ballybrit Novice Chase. "He's in good form and the plan is to run at Galway this weekend as long as we get rain," said Meade today at Thurles.
