Verdict
GALLOPONGRAY did have four runs over hurdles in Ireland, placing once. Back between the flags, he finally won a maiden at Tinahely last month and new handler Donald McCain has found a weak maiden for him to contest here. Slanemore Hill has also won between the flags but has a lengthy absence to overcome and had just one run in a chase last season. The others are even harder to recommend.
