Galvin, five-times a winner in bumpers and over hurdles, finished runner-up behind the exciting Imperial Aura in a Listed handicap at Cheltenham in March before a canter round this track to gain his first success over fences. He looks a nice prospect but has to concede 7lb to LA SORELITA which may prove beyond him. Willie Mullins' charge was only moderate over timber but jumped her rivals silly on her chasing debut here and has the scope to go on to better things. Waitnsee, who was beaten 13 lengths into third in that latter contest, franked the form with a comfortable victory at Tramore and looks next best. The remaining pair have both run during the week and make no appeal.
