Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Galileo Dame No. 2, stall 7
Scott McCullagh · Joseph Patrick O'Brien
✓ Trainer in form (13/63, 14 days)
Galileo Dame is our selection for this Fairyhouse feature, preferred over the top of the ratings on a progressive profile and a clock that backs up her form. Her rating of 104 sits just behind the head of these figures, but that shape of form points to more to come. Goodie Two Shoes, Perfect Your Craft and Bloom all pose the main threats, yet Galileo Dame is the one to side with at high confidence.

Racecard
Ben Coen
J P Murtagh 3/22
Two wins in her last five starts show latent ability, though she was unplaced last time out and hasn't run for 64 days. She has covered today's trip before and our rating puts her mid-division on 95.

Scott McCullagh
Joseph Patrick O'Brien 13/63
Without a win in her last five starts, she found the frame when second three runs back, and our rating makes a strong case for more to come fresh off a 22-day break. Proven over today's trip and ground, she is our pick to go well.

J M Sheridan
Joseph Patrick O'Brien 13/63
Two wins in her last five starts show solid ability, and our rating makes her the one to beat just 19 days after her latest outing. First-time tongue-tie adds interest, but a below-par eighth last time out is the risk to weigh.

Chris Hayes
Joseph Patrick O'Brien 13/63
Winless in her last five starts and fading through that run - 4th, 4th, 6th, then 8th last time out - which is hard to ignore. She has raced over today's trip before and a 24-day break may freshen her, though little here inspires confidence.

Colin Keane
Henry De Bromhead 2/26
Without a win in her last five starts, she has stayed competitive with a second two starts back and a couple of minor placings in that spell. A 64-day absence and first-time tongue-tie add uncertainty, but our rating keeps her in the mix.

W J Lee
P Twomey 2/18
A near-miss second two starts back and a win four back point to solid ability, and our rating puts her firmly among the leading players. First-time cheekpieces could sharpen her further, though a below-par fifth last time out is the risk to note.

Wayne Lordan
A P O'Brien 8/43
A win four starts back and consecutive thirds around it point to real claims, and she has run over today's going before. Our rating keeps her among the leading dangers at a workable 122 lb, though a below-par seventh last time out is the risk to note.

Gavin Ryan
Noel Meade 2/8
A win two starts back is the highlight of modest recent form either side of it, and our rating places her firmly at the foot of this field. She is fresh from just an 8-day break, but there's little in these figures to make a strong case.

Ronan Whelan
A P O'Brien 8/43
A win five starts back is a distant memory, with recent form sliding to a ninth last time after back-to-back sevenths. First-time blinkers offer a sliver of hope, but the trend is hard to ignore.
