The best at Galway on Monday was from Mordor who finished 2nd. The 15/2 shot was 7th two out improving to sit 4th after the last, he kept on well to go 2nd in the final 100 yards but he made no impression on the winner Feud who came home by 3 1/2 lengths. In the other race Alphonse Le Grande was 11th with the contest going to Sirius who beat Baltic Bird by 3 1/2 lengths.
It's day 2 at Galway on Tuesday where on a 7 race card there are 2 highlights.
4.50: Colm Quinn BMW Novice Hurdle.
3: Gaucher: A good horse on the flat who has impressed since switching to hurdles opening his account at Punchestown 52 days ago. He led after the 2nd going clear entering the straight, he stayed on strongly very easily coming home by 15 lengths. Further improvement is likely and despite going up in grade he can win again here.
7.10: Colm Quinn BMW Mile Handicap.
7: Emporio: Ran better than the result suggests when 7th at Fairyhouse 20 days ago. That was his return after 16 months off and he was travelling well sitting 3rd a furlong out, he didn't get a clear run in the final 150 yards dropping to 7th. He should build on that here and definitely has the ability to pick up a 3rd career win.
