All of today\u2019s latest horse racing results and odds are over on PP.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n Al Arrivee heads the betting, and she\u2019s a decent mare in her own right. Patrick Mullins takes the ride on her, and she has her chance. At the prices, I prefer MR HOLLYWOOD, who\u2019s ridden by Brian Hayes. He\u2019s got a huge rating on the flat, and was third behind Illinois and French Master in the Queen Alexandra at Royal Ascot. He made his comeback over hurdles at Killarney, and improved considerably when reverted to the flat for that Ascot contest, and he\u2019s the one for me in the opener.<\/p>\n IMARAJAN could still be relatively well handicapped. He\u2019s only had five starts over hurdles, finishing second at Kilbeggan on his penultimate start before going on to score at the same track last time off 105. Paddy Cody retains the ride, and he\u2019s only 1lb higher than he was last time. He\u2019s not my strongest selection of the day, but he does make some appeal at the prices.<\/p>\n I\u2019d be hopeful that there\u2019s some juice in a mark of 122 for Venusienne, but she was very disappointing at Kilbeggan on her seasonal reappearance. It\u2019s always worth taking note when James Owen sends one to Ireland, and ZAHRA DODVILLE really catches the eye. She was third behind Highland Crystal at Newbury in November, who\u2019s now rated 128, while Zahra Dodville gets in off 117. Just under 10 lengths separated the pair on that occasion, and she\u2019s only had the one start since. She could be very well handicapped, and she\u2019s definitely of interest.<\/p>\n Second-season Novices have a great record in the Galway Plate, and FUNICULI FUNICULA won the right type of trial for this at the Punchestown Festival. The extra couple of furlongs look right up his street, and he should go very close.<\/p>\n KING ALEXANDER looks overpriced, having run a cracker at Cheltenham behind Meetmebythesea. He had Kiss Will just behind him, who still held a chance when falling two-out in the Irish National. That\u2019s a solid piece of form, and he\u2019s far too big at the current prices. I\u2019ll be with him each-way.<\/p>\n KIRKLAND SIOUX won really well at the Curragh last time, having won at Fairyhouse on her penultimate start. She\u2019s been hit hard by the handicapper and now runs off a mark of 87, 11lb higher than last time. The extended mile should really suit her, and the stiff finish at Galway should bring about even more improvement. Joseph O\u2019Brien remains in red-hot form, and she\u2019ll take some beating. <\/p>\n My Dad saddles GAOTH CHUIL in the lucky last. She won over 1m 7f at Leopardstown two starts ago, before backing that up when stepped up in trip at Killarney last time. Similar to my last selection, this stiff uphill finish should really suit her, and she should be able to carry a penalty in the last!<\/p>\n Ruby Walsh\u2019s Galway Racing Tips<\/p>\n 17:05 \u2013 Mr Hollywood<\/a> *All prices are bang up to date with our snazzy widgets, while odds in copy are accurate at time of publishing but subject to change.
