Former jockey and BOYLE Sports ambassador, Robbie Power, has cast his eye over this evening's card at Galway and picked out his four best bets. The quality action gets underway at 5.05pm with the feature, the Galway Plate at 6.40pm.

5.05, Galway

I’m going with Jerobaum Machin for Emmet Mullins in Wednesday’s opener. He was a good bumper horse and while he was probably disappointing in his first two starts over hurdles, the stiffer track at Ballybrit may well just suit him.

5.35, Galway

My eyes are drawn to Macshadow Des Crai in the 5.35 Handicap Hurdle. This is first run since he made the switch from Nicky Henderson’s yard to that of Ian Donoghue and you have to take note of a jockey booking like Jack Kennedy. That could be significant.

6.05, Galway

In the Mares’ Handicap Hurdle, I’m siding with the Enda Bolger-trained Samba Train She has some pretty smart bumper form and was good last time out when winning at Killarney. She’s making her handicap debut here and it’s interesting that jockey Joshua Halford is claiming 7lbs, so with a good look in running, she could go close.

6.40, Galway

The Galway Plate is the big one on Wednesday and Downmexicoway is my selection. He’s been pretty solid, made plenty of progress last season and had a good result at Cheltenham even though he didn’t get a lot of luck in running.

Darragh O’Keeffe has chosen to ride and trainer Henry De Bromhead knows how to win this race having scored twice in it before. He’ll have been mapped out for this.
