Bahrain can storm through

CLUES FOR the Galway festival could be plentiful at tomorrow’s Tipperary fixture, where Bahrain Storm can set himself up for a Ballybrit return in the Grade Three feature.

Pat Flynn’s star won last year’s Galway Hurdle in style, and is joined by the 2006 Galway Hurdle hero Cuan Na Grai in the Kevin McManus Bookmaker Grimes Hurdle.

Bahrain Storm appears on the back of a highly-encouraging run on the flat on Irish Derby day behind Fisher Bridge, and victory today could see a cut in his general 16 to 1 odds for a Galway repeat at the end of the month.

Glenstal Abbey is an interesting contender for the Beginners Chase tomorrow, while there will be plenty interest in the third racecourse start of the unbeaten The Real Article in the bumper.
