Pillar Of Hope heads this competitive 21-runner Galway handicap on a rating narrowly ahead of Diamond Exchange and Thyer, and the step up to twelve furlongs on good ground looks well suited to a horse of this profile. Diamond Exchange and Thyer are the most obvious threats at a pound off the pace, while Superficial also merits respect just two pounds below our selection. That said, Pillar Of Hope’s edge at the head of the ratings, combined with the stamina test this trip provides, gives enough reason for confidence. **Pillar Of Hope** is our selection.
