Dermot Weld has his horses in fine shape in the run-up to Galway and though Lady Leanora hasn't shown much in maidens she starts out in handicaps off a lowly mark. Shane Foley should earn his riding fee on board KNOCK FLYER, who consistently loses ground at the start and virtually refused to race on his penultimate start. However, he's been flying at the finish over a mile at both Naas and Gowran recently and the longer trip may finally see him off the mark. Divine Celt went up 12lb for an impressive victory at Sligo, with Cross Step eight lengths behind, then appeared to find 1m4f on fast going at Tipperary too much for him so he should do better back over this trip.
