Galvin¹¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: D N Russell| T: G Elliott| OR: 148| BF

2/15

Came in for plenty market support at Cheltenham Festival in March (2m4f, soft; 4-1jf) and found only one too strong in 20-runner Listed handicap chase. Trainer has found a great opportunity here.

Form: 62/F422-

Mine Now¹³

Age: 12| Weight: 11-6| J: Mr S Perry⁽⁷⁾| T: Peter Fahey| OR: 128

10/1

Out of luck since 2017 over hurdles and 0-10 over these obstacles previously; shaped with some promise on return to action at Roscommon (3m1f, good; 80-1) when finishing fifth and can give a good account here.

Form: 35373-5

Summer Hill³¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: D E Mullins| T: J P Ryan| BF

22/1

Some promise exhibited in one chase run last summer when ridden quietly out the back and finishing seventh at Downpatrick (2m7½f, good to yielding; 8-1); off 316 days and may do better.

Form: 62P134-

Make My Heart Fly^t²⁷⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Keith Donoghue| T: G Elliott| OR: 121

16/1

Winner of a Kilbeggan beginners' chase (2m4f, good to yielding; 9-2) in September last before falling next time at Sligo (two early mistakes); may have found 3m at Clonmel too far when last out. Trainer has strong claims with Galvin.

Forecasts

Galvin (2/15), Chavi Artist (7/1), Mine Now (10/1), Make My Heart Fly (16/1), Summer Hill (22/1)

Gordon Elliott has found a fine opportunity for GALVIN, who was well touted for his Cheltenham Festival target in March and was only foiled late on. He should have plenty in hand on these terms. Stablemate Make My Heart Fly and race-fit Mine Now can scrap it out for the minors.
