SETTING the SCENE with Richard Forristal

It was at Galway that Belfast Banter finally broke his duck over flights at the 11th attempt last autumn. He returns now a transformed character, with the world, or at least the Guinness Galway Hurdle (6.15), at his feet.

A decisive winner of the County Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival, Belfast Banter arrives back at Ballybrit – where he was beaten in a novice hurdle 12 months ago – a Grade 1 winner following his triumph in the Top Novices’ Hurdle at Aintree. Peter Fahey has overseen the most spectacular of turnarounds with a six-year-old that looked for so long to be a nearly horse, and he might not be done yet.

Kevin Sexton’s mount is 15lbs higher than when victorious in the Cotswolds, but the presence of Saldier at the top of the page means he gets into this €250,000 showpiece with just 10st 13lb on his back. He ought to take plenty stopping, notwithstanding that it is a typically deep renewal of this prestigious event.

Saldier is one of three that will represent Willie Mullins, the other two being the 2020 Triumph Hurdle heroine Burning Victory and the JP McManus-owned Ciel De Neige, which is the mount of Paul Townend.

McManus has other chances, not least with Magic Trix and Winner Takes Itall, while Sole Pretender, for local handler Norman Lee, and the Shark Hanlon-trained Skyace are others of note. Emmet Mullins also stakes his claim with Cape Gentleman in what is a fascinating affair.

The opening couple of events could be booked for Willie Mullins, with the emphatic Cork winner Farout interesting under Brian Hayes in the novice hurdle (4.35) and the Townend-ridden Bleu Berry the one to beat in the beginners’ chase (5.10).

Bleu Berry is a late recruit to chasing at ten years of age, but he looked back to something like his best when beating Snow Falcon at Punchestown recently. At his peak, he is the pick of these, although the return of City Island is intriguing.

Mullins has three live players in the Rockshore Novice Chase (5.45) as well, but Gin On Lime appeals here for Henry de Bromhead and Darragh O’Keeffe.

The Robcour-owned mare has been superlative in her last three starts at this sort of mid-range trip, so she is fancied to make them all go if she can get into her now familiar rhythm on the front end around this tight circuit.

SELECTIONS:

4.35 Farout 5.10 Bleu Berry 5.45 Gin On Lime 6.15 Belfast Banter

WELCOME

Welcome to Ballybrit On behalf the Galway Race Committee and the team here at Galway Racecourse, we are delighted to welcome you back to Ballybrit, the home of the iconic Galway Races Summer Festival and a very special place for so many of you.

We know from all our customers feedback that the Galway Races is more than just a festival; it’s a tradition, it’s multigenerational and very much part of our community. It’s the meeting of old friends and new and even more so, it gives us a reason to celebrate and be joyful which we need now more than ever.

Front Line Heroes Over the last few months, Galway Racecourse has been a hive of activity as we welcomed the HSE vaccine centre to Ballybrit. We would like to say a big thank you to all HSE and front-line staff for their ongoing dedication and hard work. We salute you.

Partnerships Partnerships and support have been the back bone and key to the success of the iconic Galway Races. While many businesses have experienced a challenging year, Galway Racecourse is delighted to announce that all its partners are continuing to support and sponsor the Summer Festival into the future.

We are delighted you have joined us on the fourth day of the Galway Races Summer Festival where we have eight exciting races to look forward to, including the feature race on the card the €250,000 Guinness Galway Hurdle Handicap. We would like to thank today’s sponsor Guinness who generously sponsor the entire card for their continued support and we hope that they and their guests have an enjoyable day.

Her’s Best Dressed competition at the Galway Races is back Today is of course Ladies Day and with things not quite back to normal yet, that doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate safely and in style. This year’s event today will be a fully interactive and virtual experience for anybody who wants to take part – and for the lucky few who will be in attendance on the day.

• Get involved: to enter simply post a photo to Instagram along with a screenshot of a charity donation of your choice (minimum of €5 per entry).

• Use the hashtags #HerBestDressed and #IMadeMyDonation, tag the charity of your choice, and include @galway_races and @herdotie.

• Once the competition opens for entries judge Louise O’Reilly will scroll through the photos and deliberate until the entries closes later that day. All finalists and overall winners must be available for interview with Her. Supporting our Silent Partner, the Thoroughbred Horse This week we are proud to support the Irish Horse Welfare Trust, Irelands largest, longest running dedicated equine charity, providing specialist care for Thoroughbred horses. The Irish Horse Welfare Trust was set up in 1999 to reschool, re-habilitate and re-home Thoroughbred horses. Now more than ever, it’s important to give back and help other organisations when we can. Due to current times with the cancellation of the majority of their fundraising events, the charity is in need of our support. To help them we have set up a fundraising page.

Every euro donated will go directly to this great cause. To support and donate this fundraiser, check out www.idonate.ie/GalwayRaces2021 thank you.

We hope you enjoy today’s racing and thanks again for your support.

Michael Moloney Chief Executive

RACE 1 PREDICTOR The Predictor is a ‘Computer Generated’ predicted outcome of the race in visual form, generated by an algorithm of key factors (including eg current form, ratings and going.)

RACE VERDICT

This could be a good opportunity for TAX FOR MAX to get off the mark. He’s looked promising in a trio of starts for Willie Mullins and he gets 7lb in weight from his stablemate Farout who could be his main danger. Carrarea looks like a potential improver and should be able to reverse form with Ilmig on 7lb better terms this time. [Phill Anderson] Source: Racing Post

RACE VERDICT

It’s been a promising start to life over fences for LOW SUN who has a bit of chase experience on his side over his main rivals in this, and a below par Flat run here earlier in the week is best excused. Streets Of Doyen and Bleu Berry could be the main dangers on chase debut if they can get close to the best of their form over hurdles. [Phill Anderson]

RACE VERDICT

A race bursting with class. MAGIC TRICKS has not shown his hand fully and could be capable of coming alive on the big stage for his top connections. Everything looks in place for a massive run. At the opposite end of the handicap, Saldier sets a high standard being a dual Grade 1 winner while the locallytrained Sole Pretender is interesting under a top claimer after warming up for this with victory in the Grimes Hurdle. Belfast Banter, Milkwood and Winner Takes Itall are just a handful of others who boast solid claims but Magic Tricks is a confident selection. [Brian

RACE 6 PREDICTOR The Predictor is a ‘Computer Generated’ predicted outcome of the race in visual form, generated by an algorithm of key factors (including eg current form, ratings and going.)

RACE VERDICT

BANBRIDGE is going from strength to strength and could be hard to side against after a silky smooth display at Roscommon. M C Muldoon was desperately unlucky at Royal Ascot and has a big chance back over flights while Buddy Rich and Enniskerry can fight it out for place money. [Brian Sheerin] Source:

RACE 7 PREDICTOR The Predictor is a ‘Computer Generated’ predicted outcome of the race in visual form, generated by an algorithm of key factors (including eg current form, ratings and going.)

RACE VERDICT

This looks competitive but BLACKSTAIR ROCCO has looked highly progressive in two recent runs and the handicapper has probably let him off lightly, despite going up 7lb for finishing second last time out (front two pulled a long way clear). It Could Be You should appreciate a step up in trip and Quaker Island looks like a potential improver on handicap debut. [Phill Anderson] Source:

RACE VERDICT

It was an encouraging return from ULTIMA THULE at Killarney a fortnight ago and if he can build on that with Jamie Codd booked this time, he could be the one to beat in an open looking contest. Dads Lad will probably be in the mix again and Spanish Present might be one who will appreciate testing ground if some more rain arrives. [Phill Anderson] Source: Racing Post
