Baymount heads this wide-open 18-runner Galway contest on ratings, sitting narrowly ahead of Maxdale Prinxess and a good deal clear of Lockeen Rose among the assessed runners, though the sizeable unrated contingent introduces a genuine element of the unknown over this stamina-testing sixteen furlongs on good-to-soft ground. Maxdale Prinxess represents the most credible threat among those we can weigh up, and Lockeen Rose cannot be dismissed entirely on what we know of her form. With confidence measured given the strength of the field and the number of unknowns, Baymount is nonetheless our selection to make the ratings count.
