A MESSAGE FROM

Guinness is proud to once again support the Galway Races, continuing a partnership that has become one of the most enduring and celebrated in Irish sport and social life. For more than six decades, Guinness and the Galway Races have shared a commitment to bringing people together to celebrate unforgettable moments in Ballybrit.

The Galway Races remains one of Ireland’s most iconic festivals, where world-class racing meets unrivalled atmosphere. It is a week that creates lifelong memories, welcomes visitors from near and far, and showcases the very best of Irish hospitality, community and celebration.

This year, we are once again delighted to sponsor the Guinness Galway Hurdle Handicap, one of the highlights of Race Week and a race that continues to attract exceptional competition. While the racing is always first class, it is the energy of the crowds, the friendships renewed, and the shared experiences that make Galway Race Week so special.

On behalf of everyone at Guinness and Diageo Ireland, I would like to thank the Galway Race Committee, the dedicated teams behind the scenes, and the thousands of racegoers whose enthusiasm and loyalty continue to make this festival such a remarkable success.

We wish everyone a memorable and enjoyable Galway Races 2026.

Here’s to another spectacular week in Ballybrit.

Conor Neiland Managing Director Diageo Ireland

The Guinness Irish EBF Nursery Handicap of €18,000

PREDICTION: MARGOT MAE

RACE VERDICT

An extra furlong may favour SEVEN NATION ARMY who brought an unexposed profile to his nursery debut and was just denied by I Ready. Reese Holohan’s claim can help to ensure the winner remains competitive, but Joseph O’Brien’s runner is slightly preferred. Celtic Moon makes plenty of appeal and will be suited by this stiff track, having won over 1m at Bellewstown. [Alan Sweetman] Source: Racing Post

For three years old and upwards fillies only that are EBF eligible

About 7f Starting from stalls

RACE 2 PREDICTOR

The Predictor is a ‘Computer Generated’ predicted outcome of the race in visual form, generated by an algorithm of key factors (including eg current form, ratings and going.)

PREDICTION: CELESTIAL ORBIT

RACE VERDICT

A fascinating clash between two fillies who have achieved the same rating (103) in sharply contrasting fashion. Paddy Twomey’s runner BLACK CAVIAR GOLD was a Group 3-winning juvenile who has trained on well. She may see off a likely challenge from the ultra-progressive Meriden who has gone up 44lb as a result of four handicap wins and a Listed success. The pair appear to have the measure of Pivotal Attack La Brodeuse can take a share of the running if recapturing the form of a Lingfield second. [Alan Sweetman] Source: Racing Post

PREDICTION: LE COQ HARDI

RACE VERDICT

In winning both his chase starts, SHADOW PADDY has looked like a smart sort and can carry a double penalty successfully. Le Coq Hardi can get closer to him than at Limerick with cheekpieces added, while Wild Bill Hickok is respected too. [Tyrone Molloy]

RACE 5 PREDICTOR

The Predictor is a ‘Computer Generated’ predicted outcome of the race in visual form, generated by an algorithm of key factors (including eg current form, ratings and going.)

PREDICTION: MURCIA

RACE VERDICT

Both Gordon Elliott and Willie Mullins have put together powerful squads. However, veteran trainer Bill Durkan may thwart the big stables with his Swinton Hurdle runner-up LAAFI who has improved since his last Irish run. El Cairos, who ran in two Grade 1 novice races, leads an Elliott team that also includes two other strong contenders in Ndaawi and Casheldale Lad, winner (promoted) and third respectively here 12 months ago. Paul Townend’s choice of Murcia is interesting, but she needs to raise her game. Tony Martin’s record in this race is such that Putapoundinthejar should not be ruled out.

PREDICTION: NO MORE PORTER

RACE VERDICT

Several of these were in action on Tuesday, clouding the issue. An each-way vote goes to GLYNDWR who is reasonably well treated on his best AW form. Despite a high draw, Hygge could make a bold bid to complete a hat-trick after maiden wins on the Flat and over hurdles. Source: Racing Post

The Predictor is a ‘Computer Generated’ predicted outcome of the race in visual form, generated by an algorithm of key factors (including eg current form, ratings and going.)

PREDICTION: FARO ISLAND

RACE VERDICT

The two bang in-form horses are ARCH ENEMY and Rodeo Blues. Preference is for the firstnamed who has run well in defeat at this venue before while the latter still seems to be a bit raw even though she is winning. UK raider Jujubella is worth a look, while Showyoutheropes is another to consider. Source: Racing Post

RACE VERDICT

Just behind Sir Vinnie and a stablemate who was runner-up here on Monday when making his debut at Punchestown, DIEUX DILIGENCE can progress enough to score. Martymill, Rond Point and Market Square look dangers. Willie Mullins’ newcomer Run Ted Run is well-bred and has to be respected. [Tyrone Molloy] Source: Racing Post
