COLUMBUS had some smart form on the Flat when trained in France and he shaped well on hurdling and stable debut when runner-up at Killarney in May. He produced a below-par effort returned to the Flat at Royal Ascot, but his debut form in this sphere is working out well, and he\u2019s open to further improvement. He gets the vote ahead of Young Rebel, who has changed hands since his impressive bumper victory in November, with Tiktok Casey another to consider.<\/p>\n PAUL\u2019S DREAM is firmly on the up at present, winning four of her last eight completed starts, including her last two, the latest at Kilbeggan by 10 lengths, and she is taken to defy her latest rise in the weights to complete the hat-trick. Fiveonefive is on a handy mark and was unlucky not to finish closer at Ballinrobe last time, so rates the chief threat, with the unexposed Lips Freedom, last year\u2019s winner Come On The Lads and this week\u2019s Galway Hurdle hero Putapoundinthejar on the shortlist.<\/p>\n COMFORT ZONE returned to form with a bang when landing a Flat handicap at this course just five days ago and, it is interesting connections are turning him out quickly back over hurdles. He looks the most likely winner based on the pick of his form now he\u2019s back in good heart. Minella Diamond arrives on an upward curve and is feared most, while Ifiwerearichman and Double Powerful are also capable of getting involved if at their best.<\/p>\n FLEUR DINO makes plenty of appeal on pedigree \u2013 she\u2019s a half-sister to several winners, notably smart chaser Fleur In The Park \u2013 and she is taken to give Willie Mullins his sixth winner in the last seven years in this contest. Glens Sonata looks no slouch on paper, either, and she could make it a one-two for the yard, while Tamara Jane looks the pick of those with experience under Rules, with Techno DJ an interesting type from the pointing scene.<\/p>\n VICTORY SPEECH is from a very smart Coolmore family and, though he looked the stable second string on jockey bookings, he made a most encouraging debut when runner-up to another promising sort over seven furlongs at the Curragh a fortnight ago. He looks a sure-fire improver with that experience under his belt and he\u2019s bred to relish this step up to a mile now. He should prove hard to beat, the main danger looking likely to come from Zarak Pasha, who also showed promise on debut.<\/p>\n GLIONDAR had finished third in a barrier trial prior to his debut and he shaped with plenty of promise over this trip at the Curragh last month, finishing runner-up to one who\u2019d already shown plenty and has won again since. That looks strong form, with the third also improving in defeat since, and he\u2019s very much the one to beat in this field with improvement forthcoming. Royal Bones and Bang Bang may give him most to think about.<\/p>\n He comes with a health warning after 23 defeats, but APACHE OUTLAW is worth another chance given how well he\u2019s been shaping of late, much better than the bare result dropped to five furlongs at the Curragh recently. He also went close at this meeting last year and tackles an easier 0-70 now. San Aer was second here on Tuesday and can go well again, while British raider The Sweet Escape and Mytimetoshine are also considered.<\/p>\n Having been gambled on, FRATAS stepped up on her recent stable debut when runner up in a big-field handicap hurdle here three days ago, looking unfortunate to bump into such a progressive rival. She\u2019s gone well here in the past and could be worth siding with from a reduced mark back in this sphere. Granville Street is another boasting good course form and is feared along with last year\u2019s winner Thatwilldoso. Superficial is another in with a shout.<\/p>\n Timeform\u2019s Galway racing tips<\/p>\n 14:02 Columbus<\/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\")
