Panama could return at Galway Prolific winner Panama Hat could spearhead a small but select team from Andrew Oliver's yard at next week's Galway Festival. Panama Hat has been in fantastic form this season, rattling up a four-timer with victories at Leopardstown, Fairyhouse, Roscommon and Naas. The three-year-old could come under consideration for next week's seven-day Ballybrit meeting if given the green light by American-based owners Team Valor. Oliver said: "Hopefully we'll have a few runners over the course of the week and we'll see how we go. "Panama Hat is a progressive horse who is owned by Team Valor, so it will be up to them whether he runs or not. "There is the Guinness Handicap over a mile and a half on the Friday, but he'd only go with the blessing of his owners and if the ground is good. "Stony Grey is in the same race and was a good horse as a three-year-old. He hasn't run yet this year, so he'll probably need the run. "Shipyard has run in the Scurry and the Rockingham at the Curragh and is a useful handicapper at that level. He could go back up in trip to seven furlongs for the Ahonoora Handicap, which is on the Sunday (of the Galway Festival). "We might have a two-year-old runner or two as well, so we're looking forward to the week."
