50/1
Half-sister to winners Sego Success and Benefitthewest both of whom were useful National Hunt performers. Pleasing effort on debut at Roscommon earlier this month but more needed here.
3
Horse silk
125/1
Gelding by Roderic O'Connor out of a Cozzene mare. Dam won over hurdles between 2m4f and 3m. Likely to be better over further.
Impossible to fancy to any extent given he has been tailed off in a pair of bumpers this summer before being pulled up on hurdling debut at Limerick earlier this month.
Sans Frontieres gelding out of a Beneficial mare. Cost €8,000 as a three-year-old. Closely related to bumper winner Maggie Connolly. Best watched.

5/2
€42,000 three-year-old. Dam, a point winner, sister to Group-placed 1m two-year-old winner Dark Dancer. Encouraging effort on debut and likely to improve in this contest.
Robin Des Pres gelding out of a Stowaway mare. Cost €8,000 as a three-year-old. Dam was a point-to-point winner. Worth a check in the market for leading trainer.

Horse silk
100/1
Yougunnabelucky gelding out of a Alzao mare. Closely related to a couple of winners on the Flat. Yards debutantes often need their first run.
Shirocco gelding out of a Subotica mare. Closely related to Urtheoneiwant, winner over hurdles who stayed 3m2f. Worth a check in the market on debut for local trainer.
10
Horse silk
16/1
Interesting on pedigree as a half-brother to point/bumper and useful 2m hurdle winner Sebastapol out of a Flat and fairly useful hurdle winner. Pleasing third on debut and likely to improve.
Gelding by Sholokhov out of a Ashkhalani mare. Closely related to a couple of winners including Sunny Destination, successful over hurdles.
12
Horse silk
80/1
Lethal Force gelding out of a Nureyev mare. Closely related to Breaking The Bank, decent over hurdles; no real show on first two starts so far and hard to fancy.

15
Horse silk
100/1
Daughter of Dandy Man. Closely related to decent hurdler, Marju King. Dam won over 7f. Market likely to reveal expectations on debut.
Filly by Arakan out of a Flemensfirth mare. Related to Burn And Turn who stayed 2m6f. Stables newcomers generally need first run.
17
Horse silk
4/6
Daughter of Shirocco out of a Montjeu mare. Related to a number of winners including Lagostovegas and Cool Colonnade. Likely to go well on debut for respected trainer/jockey combination.

Forecasts

Zuma Rock (4/6), Mahons Glory (5/2), Weseekhimhere (12/1), Mighty Meggsie (12/1), The Banger Doyle (16/1), Not What It Seems (18/1), Yermanmilan (40/1), Boston Brahmin (50/1), Sub Rocco (50/1), Biscayne Boulevard (80/1), Twentybore (80/1), For The Company (80/1), Tullyhogue Fort (100/1), Lil Codey (100/1), Sera Chanceux (100/1), Bright Lad (125/1), Claude Greengrass (250/1)

Verdict

The Denis Hogan-trained MAHONS GLORY can land the closing race of day three of the Galway festival. The gelding ran well in defeat on debut at Thurles in March, a race that has seen the eighth of 15 runners finish runner up in a Roscommon bumper earlier this month. Weseekhimhere for Gordon Elliott/Jamie Codd and Zuma Rock for Willie and Patrick Mullins appear more than capable of hitting the frame.
