BENNY’S GOOD, MAN!

-

LIAM CUSACK’S Snugsborou­gh Benny gets the vote in the featured Galway Plate Trial at Limerick this afternoon.

The eight-year-old comes here off an encouragin­g victory in a novice chase at Down Royal in late May.

This race will be tougher, but Denis O’regan’s mount is open to more improvemen­t than many of his rivals.

Henry de Bromhead has good prospects of notching up a double and he can take the conditions chase with Attributio­n.

This gelding has won several times at this track and seems to be at his best in small field conditions chases.

The trainer can also strike with Classic Theatre, who ran quite well on her chasing debut at Clonmel last month when fourth to Venezia. That was her first run since November so she should improve for that outing.

In the opener, Storm Rising looks to have been found a good opportunit­y, while in the rated hurdle, former course winner St Lawrence Gap is selected after a respectabl­e showing last month.

Carlitos Bay might win the three-mile handicap hurdle.
