A regular handicap is difficult enough to figure out, but this Nursery is even tougher with so little form on offer. I\u2019m siding with SEVEN NATION ARMY, who can reverse the form with I Ready in the opener on Thursday. He was green when he hit the front, pulling himself up and letting I Ready pass him before rallying again late. If he improves on that effort, he can go close. <\/p>\n Plenty of these look out of their depth in terms of ratings, and I\u2019m opposing some of the market principals. Pivotal Attack has course form, but yard form is a real worry for her. Meriden has excelled on quick surfaces, and she wouldn\u2019t want any further rain. Black Caviar Gold is the opposite, and would probably prefer it soft. <\/p>\n CELTIC MOTIF looks overpriced as Joseph O\u2019Brien\u2019s second string. She bolted up in a Killarney maiden last time, and while it wasn\u2019t a strong race, she does have some good juvenile form. I\u2019m going to take a chance on her to cause an upset.<\/p>\n Willie saddles Soir De Garde, and while he\u2019s got ability, he\u2019ll need to improve his jumping. LE COQ HARDI was fourth in the Kerry National last year, and a repeat of that would be enough. That\u2019s the standout piece of form on offer, and he\u2019s been in good form of late, winning at Kilbeggan last time out. At the prices, he makes the most appeal.<\/p>\n ROC DINO looked like he could become a decent novice hurdler at the beginning of last season, but he ran into Mighty Park on debut and El Cairos on his second start. He was disappointing in the Martin Pipe at Cheltenham, but he returned with a facile victory at Downpatrick. The undulating track at Galway should suit him, and hopefully he can fulfil the promise of his early days. <\/p>\n A cracking renewal of the Galway Hurdle, with plenty in with chances. Solness has to be respected off a mark of 153, considering he\u2019s rated 165 over fences. MURCIA was a Grade 1-winning juvenile, and she didn\u2019t stay 2m 4f at Killarney last time. The drier the ground is, the better she\u2019ll be, and Paul Townend has elected to ride her. There\u2019s a big day in her, and she\u2019s the pick of the fancied runners.<\/p>\n RAGMANS CORNER had two cracking runs at this festival last year, third behind Filey Bay in the Amateur Handicap on the Monday before finishing second behind Aurea Fortuna over hurdles on the Friday off 115. Course form could be key, and he has a solid each-way chance.<\/p>\n Paul Nolan saddles SAGEBOROUGH, who fell two out in the Supreme. He gets in with 10st 1lb on his back, with Conor Stone-Walsh an eye-catching jockey booking. I can see him running well at an each-way price.<\/p>\n SAN AER was unlucky in the last on Tuesday night, finding himself much too close to a red-hot pace that capitulated. He did get a great run through on the inside, but it paid to come from off the pace. If he\u2019s backed up quickly, he could get his big day in the sun!<\/p>\n SHOWYOUTHEROPES was a non-runner on Tuesday, but he looks interesting again. He\u2019s had three starts for Gerard O\u2019Leary, and he\u2019s of interest for a team that loves a winner at Galway. Gary Carroll takes the ride, and he remains on a workable mark. He looks overpriced in the last.<\/p>\n Ruby Walsh\u2019s Galway Racing Tips<\/p>\n 14:10 \u2013 Seven Nation Army<\/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.<\/p>\n Read MoreAll today\u2019s latest horse racing results and odds are over on PP.com<\/a>The Paddy Power Guide To Safer Gambling \u2013 Everything You Need To Know<\/a>![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/992x300-1.jpg\")
