5/8/23 Galway

 The best on another poor day came from Fiveonefive who was 6th, the 14/1 shot was at the rear showing slight improvement 2 out. He was 9th at the last keeping on at one pace moving up 3 places, upfront Ifiwerearichman beat Volantis by 1/2 a length. In the big race Weston was 17th in a contest won by Brazil who defeated Teed Up by a head.

 It's the penultimate day at Galway on Saturday where out of 8 races 2 stand out. 

2.30: Boylesports Handicap Hurdle. 

13: Thecompanysergeant: Has shown promise since switching to hurdles winning at Navan in March and then being runner-up behind Nick Rockett in a Grade 2 at Fairyhouse when last seen back in April. Despite being well beaten that day he makes his handicap hurdle debut here and with plenty more to come he can go one better and double his tally in this sphere. 

4.15: GRA Chocolates Irish EBF Nursery Handicap. 

1: Portland: Made an eye-catching debut when 3rd at The Curragh in June but couldn't improve on that coming home 4th at Tipperary 31 days ago. He led until a furlong out dropping to 4th after bumping the rail 150 yards from the finish. Despite that he is open to further improvement and can win this on his first handicap start.
