    I personally am not worried about this for Galvin - others may have a more nuanced view but I feel the stamina he has should do him fine.

    I am likely to back him but I almost think his biggest potential issue is not living up to the body of form he has built up, in what is the ultimate test.

    I really like what he has done, but I have a small thought in the back of my head to whether the form is a little ‘false’ , especially given the original target for the season.

      My slight concern with Galvin, is that he is going to have to make the running. Which I don't like, if he sits in with them all, it'll be a sprint finish in which I don't see APT being beat.
      I think he's going to have to get on with it.

        I'd be surprised if they changed run style to make the running.

        Tracked leaders when winning against APT. Why do you think they'd change tactics with him?

        Davy Russell unlikely to want to make all. Not really his style either?

          Who else is going to do it?

              Potentially, and maybe more likely Santini, but it's not going to be a red hot pace is it? I think it's going to be a very tactical gold cup and I actually think Galvin will win, how he goes about it, I have no idea, I do think however APT holds a better finish than him.

                  • Certainly a negative as Jack gets a great tune out of him, but didn’t think Robbie gave him a bad ride the last time.

                    • So what'll Jack be riding?
                      Conflated?

                            • He's not got a ride has he. Crazy choice tbh but I guess Power is their jockey. Wonder how many others he'll get on

                                Conflated surely does though when they get to discussing that?

                                He's too good to not have a ride.
