14:45 Galway - 31 July 2025 - Results - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

A highly competitive big-field handicap with the tentative vote going to RETRACEMENT, who is well worth another chance to build on a promising reappearance/stable debut given his low-mileage profile. Hat-trick seeker Bravo Zulu remains well treated on his all-weather form, while Imposing Supreme and Earls complete the shortlist.

  1. RETRACEMENT (IRE)
  2. BRAVO ZULU (IRE)
  3. IMPOSING SUPREME (IRE)
