Race Preview

Wahraan arrives here in outstanding form and looks capable of following up after an excellent second in the competitive 2m1f Flat handicap at Galway on Wednesday. He finished strongly to be beaten only a neck, pulling clear of the remainder, proving both his wellbeing and his liking for this demanding track. His earlier Market Rasen hurdle victory showed he's equally effective over obstacles, and a mark of 108 still looks workable.

Timurshah is the obvious danger after making it three wins from three for his new stable with an emphatic course-and-distance success on Monday. A 13lb rise asks a much stiffer question, but confidence is high, Conor Smithers keeps the ride and another bold bid looks assured.

Teed Up is impossible to ignore around Galway, having won this race in both 2022 and 2023. He shaped very well when staying on for third earlier in the week before disappointing on the Flat on Friday. If those recent exertions haven't taken their toll, his course record makes him a major player once again.

Playtime has stronger form than his recent figures suggest, including chasing home smart novice Switch From Diesel at Punchestown. Back down to 2m after failing to stay 2m6f, he has claims of bouncing back for Gordon Elliott.

Castleheath returns from a break but has enough ability to feature if fit, while Dream Shaper finally got off the mark at Kilbeggan and remains capable of defying his rise despite being 3lb out of the handicap.

Value Angle

Teed Up looks overpriced considering his exceptional Galway record. Two previous wins in this race and another eye-catching effort earlier in the week suggest he could easily outrun his odds if handling a busy festival schedule.

Verdict

Wahraan comes here in peak condition after an outstanding Flat run over this course and looks well treated back over hurdles. Timurshah's winning streak commands respect despite his hefty rise in the weights, while Teed Up's remarkable course record makes him the value each-way option.
