Nap of the Day: Al Arrivee to set the standard at Galway

It has been another thrilling week at Galway for the summer festival and the curtain comes down on the meeting on Sunday afternoon. There are only three meetings scheduled on Sunday and Galway's eight-race card takes the spotlight despite cards at Chester and Yarmouth.

You could say we have left the best until last for this tip, as our selection runs in the final race of the week at 17:30. Sunday's eight-race card is expected to take place on good ground and Ireland's iconic trainer should take home another win in the Fr. Breen Memorial (Pro/Am) Flat Race over two miles.

Fast Racing Results

The finale at Galway on Sunday takes place over two miles and it is worth €10,030 to the winner.

While the Galway Festival has seen plenty of big fields in what is a huge boost for the sport, only eight runners will go to post for this battle.

Only Peter Fahey's Stormin Tommie has yet to race and it is Willie Mullins' Al Arrivee who should be the one to beat.

The five-year-old first caught the eye in October when finishing second at this very track in a race which was won by Rock on By.

Rock on By has since finished fifth in a Grade 3 race at Punchestown, while the third-place runner that day, Twentyfourcarrot, has also won since that outing.

Al Arrivee was not seen again until June, when Mullins sent him to Sligo for a race over 2m2f.

The daughter of Tunis won by four lengths ahead of Soldierstown and connections will expect another big performance.

Mullins has won two of the last three runnings of this race and he also saddles Doctor Steinberg in this contest.

However, son Patrick has ridden the winner in two of those previous successes and he has picked Al Arrivee for his final outing of the Festival.

She looked to have more up her sleeve after her success at Sligo and was allowed to lead early and she soon rewarded Patrick with a routine win.

The Mullins team will want to secure a one-two finish to finish the week in style, but it is Al Arrivee who has the better form against some classy operators.
