The summer festivities at this year’s Galway Festival may be somewhat dampened by the inclement weather conditions which have hit the west coast. The Flat course is riding soft so all eyes will be on the mud-lovers in Tuesday’s feature Colm Quinn BMW Mile Handicap.

Dominated in recent years by target trainer and Galway specialist Ado McGuinness, he launches a seven-pronged attack on today’s highlight in a bid for further Galway glory.

COLM QUINN BMW Mile Handicap 6:40 Galway

Adrian McGuinness has a quality team of seven lined up for Tuesday’s most valuable prize and he’ll be targeting his fourth victory in this race in the last five years.

Among the seven representatives from McGuinness' stable, Casanova looks to be the one to beat after missing out by just half-a-length a year ago. The Frankel gelding is expected to attract ample support.

The Co Dublin handler also has other leading contenders in his arsenal, including the punter’s favourite and three-time course winner, Current Option. Among their stablemates are recent Leopardstown victor, Celtic Crown, and the top-weight Saltonstall.

Looking further down the betting, Dunum is a worthy choice at double-figure odds. Despite disappointing at Royal Ascot, with five wins in his previous seven starts, there's a chance he may return to his peak now.

Alanya has drawn significant interest after her comfortable victory in the Ladies’ Derby. Additionally, Blues Emperor, Salt Lake City, Rahmi, Joe Masseria, and Soaring Monarch are all strong contenders worth considering in this supremely competitive event.

COLM QUINN BMW Novice Hurdle (Listed) 5:10 Galway

Willie Mullins prepares to saddle an impressive quartet of contenders in this high-quality affair. Paul Townend will be aboard the French import Absurde, who demonstrated his potential by winning on his hurdling debut at Killarney and finishing second to Vauban at Royal Ascot..

The selection, Space Tourist stands out as a strong choice. Since joining Mullins, she has shown her prowess by winning three out of four starts and is now aiming for a hat-trick. With Rachael Blackmore on board, her chances look promising.

Also representing the Closutton stable, Williamstowndancer and Arctic Fly are other notable contenders, with the former seeking her third consecutive victory.

Enfranchise put on a commendable performance, finishing a respectable seventh in Grade 3 company at Tipperary earlier this month, and while she is yet to secure a win over hurdles, she is expected to put up a good fight in this contest.

Al Shaqab Goodwood Cup Stakes 4:35 Goodwood

In a remarkable display, Courage Mon Ami kept his unbeaten streak intact, taking a massive leap from a previous handicap victory to clinch the Ascot Gold Cup in June. Impressively, this achievement was only his fourth career start, hinting at the potential for further progression. With such promise, it wouldn't be surprising to witness the son of Frankel shrug off the opposition in this race.

Coltrane, who finished second in the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot, arrives at this event in fine fettle, making him, once again, a tough opponent for the selection. Additionally, any rain would work in favour of Emily Dickinson, who finished fourth in that contest, further adding to the intrigue of what promises to be a fascinating renewal.
