Indian Admiral returned from a lengthy absence to make a winning start for Henry De Bromhead at Galway. Hugh Morgan is a talented conditional but can’t claim in this and his mount has gone up 8lb. ELITE DES MOTTES has gone up 7lb for winning at Killarney but has struck up a good understanding with Richard Deegan and she could progress again now she’s got her head in front. Ricky Bobby made a winning start in handicaps at Cork but that was back in July and Listowel winner Clarens makes more appeal. Choir Practice only won a maiden at Listowel but had plenty in hand and could be a handicap snip if progressing again. Aunty Audrey has disappointed since scoring at Tramore in August.
