FormscanBy Tom Weekes - Course specialist TEED UP (4) can roll back the years and win this race for the third time. Six of the selection’s seven career wins have come at Galway and while now a nine-year-old who hasn’t scored over hurdles since winning this race for the second time in 2023, he has only recently slipped back into this 0-120 bracket, and ran well in Monday’s Connaught Hotel Handicap. Timurshah is chasing a four-timer but has been penalised 13lb for Monday’s success. Cool Boy Christy has hinted at being well handicapped on occasions and runs in first-time blinkers while Dream Shaper showed improved form to win at Kilbeggan but steps up in grade from 3lb out of the handicap.
