Figaro looks up to the task in Bumper at Galway on Monday

It will be mildly surprising should Dermot Weld totally dominate Galway next week in the way he has done many times in the past.

Weld has been the leading trainer at the festival on no less than 28 occasions and four years ago saddled a remarkable 17 winners over the seven days.

Last year he had nine winners and, you’d imagine, a figure in that region might be regarded as a realistic target this time around.
