Gale Mahler to confirm her liking for Galway

Thu, Jul 31, 2025

2.10 (Thursday, July 31)
The opening race of today's card is a Grade 3 Novice chase with runners from all the big Irish yards; however, it is the Yorkshire-based Irish trainer Adrian Keatley who could have the first winner of the day. This six-year-old mare ran away with a novice hurdle race against the boys at last year's meeting, and her recent outings over fences in England suggest that she may be up to the task today. While on paper she has a bit to find ratings-wise, she should like the ground, and the trip will be fine. It will most probably be an each-way price considering the likes of the Mullins duo, Westport Cove & Runcok are likely to run along with Special Cadeau & Ma Belle Etoile from the De Bromhead stable. Special Cadeau is an interesting runner and if it is the pick of Darragh O'Keeffe, could be the one to give the selection most to worry about.
