The feature of tomorrow's two meeting programme is surely the clash of Quinze and Go Roger Go at Galway and although Quinze loses out to his rival on the score of jumping experience, it should be the only loss he experiences.

Both horses are potential top flight novices and in most other years a horse with the three from three record that Go Roger Go boasts this season would be a hot fancy for the Bank Of Ireland Chase.

However on his chasing debut at Fairyhouse, Quinze seemed to transfer his natural flair over hurdles and on the flat to the new game with no difficulty whatsoever.

He ran out a 25-length winner over Halfpenny Bridge and crucially receives 10lbs from Go Roger Go today. That should swing it Quinze's way this time but both look horses to stay well onside with.

Others to consider at Galway appear to be Brigade Charge, runner up to the exciting Senanjar at Gowran, in the Listed handicap hurdle and Estival Park who may have been flattered by the head margin to Desert Sky at Cork but still looks a decent prospect in the seven furlong allowance race.

Down in the south east, they lose nothing in terms of quantity with an eight race programme and Kaselectric could be up to landing a second big pot in a week courtesy of the Bewleys Handicap Chase. To Your Honour is impossible to oppose in the Beginners Chase and Disposen looks the pick in the handicap hurdle.
