Joseph O'Brien looks to hold a strong hand and his smart and versatile NURBURGRING is fancied to add to his victory in last year's Galway Hurdle now going back handicapping in this sphere with more to offer. Stablemate Common Practice also has better days ahead of him over fences and holds good claims, while a whole host of others enter calculations too, notably Ashdale Bob, Down Memory Lane, Three Card Brag, Thecompanysergeant and Adamantly Chosen in a cracking renewal of the Galway Plate.
