A maximum field of 20 has been declared for the Galway Shopping Centre Handicap Hurdle, the feature race on the penultimate day of the Galway Races.

Racing opens at Ballybrit with the O’Leary Insurances Maiden Hurdle at half-two.

The going is soft on the national hurdle course and soft to heavy in places on the flat.

The Group Three Qatar Stewards’ Cup Qatar Gordon Stakes is the feature race at Glorious Goodwood.

In-form jockey Ryan Moore is set to partner the pre-race favourite Crystal Ocean for trainer Michael Stoute.

Moore enjoyed a treble at the venue yesterday.
