On Friday at Dundalk Smullen's Pride was 2nd, the 9/2 shot was 5th at halfway improving to sit 2nd a furlong out. She made no impression on the leader in the final furlong keeping on at the same pace, Starspangledwaves won by 3 1/4 lengths. In the 6.00 Adams Barbour finished 10th, the 20/1 chance led early but was passed a furlong out. He had no extra in the closing stages while upfront Rough Diamond beat Dream Today by 3 1/4 lengths.
Eight races at Galway on Saturday begin a busy weekend where there are two features.
1.43: Connolly's Red Mills Irish EBF Auction Maiden Hurdle.
4: Sandor Clegane: A bumper winner back in December last year who was a talled-off 7th behind the victor Facile Vega in the Champion Flat Race at Punchestown when last seen in April. He makes his hurdles debut here and it looks like it could be his future, he should make a successful reappearance and make his mark.
3.28: W.B. Gavin & Co Handicap Hurdle.
5: Merlin Giant: Left his hurdles debut well behind when winning a maiden on this course 91 days ago. He beat some good horses that day but he is still open to further improvement. This is his handicap hurdle debut and looking at his form here he is worth a chance to follow up.
