Kilbeggan handicap hurdle winner on good ground in June. Fair form in two subsequent starts and races off a mark 5lb higher than for that success.

Course winner at this meeting two years ago. Finished runner-up in a Wexford handicap chase on good-to-firm ground last time out and interesting on his return to hurdles.

13/2
Failed to trouble the judge in five starts over hurdles so far. Returning from a break and market support would be interesting for a leading yard.

Winner on the AW earlier this year. Finished last of eight on his return to hurdling last month and probably best watched at present.

15 race maiden in all spheres ran well to finish 1L second at Cork (2m, good-to-firm) earlier this month. Worth a check in the market on handicap debut.

Maiden hurdle winner on good-to-firm ground at Wexford earlier this month. Decent efforts in handicaps prior to that and is of interest once more.

12/1
Placed second in a 16 runner Gowran Park (2m, good) handicap hurdle on his latest hurdles outing. Repeat of that should see him involved in the finish.

Promising efforts in three maiden hurdles. Finished 5L third at Tipperary (2m, good) on the most recent of those and is one to note on handicap debut following a break.

17:55 Galway - 30 July 2018 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

DIXIE HIGHWAY has been running well over hurdles and can go one better than when finishing runner-up on his latest start in this sphere. Viking Hoard impressed when winning last time out and can finish runner-up while third can go the way of Mysloegin who has a leading jockey on board having won a maiden contest last time.
  1. Dixie Highway
  2. Viking Hoard
  3. Mysloegin
