FormscanBy Michael Graham - A very competitive race. BALLINLOUGH GALE has been runner-up four times in a row and, indeed, has been placed in nine of his 12 races. He has a low draw to be prominent from and Dylan Browne McMonagle gets on well with him. He has each-way claims. This would be Razdan's third race of this year's Galway Festival. He tends to be slowly away before finishing his race off well. If exertions haven't taken their toll, he will be coming home better than most. There are a whole host of horses in with chances including Leopardstown winner Buckman Tavern, the runner-up from that race Moon Daisy, Wild Shot and We'll Go Again.
