Bay could be Galway Hurdle target

John McConnell is contemplating the Guinness Galway Hurdle as a possible target for Orgilgo Bay.

The County Meath trainer has yet to firm up plans for the four-year-old following his excellent effort in finishing third to Hawk High in the Fred Winter Juvenile Handicap Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival.

However, the valuable handicap on July 31 is a tempting option for Orgilgo Bay - if he can get into the race – along with other big prizes before then such as at Punchestown, the Chester Cup on the Flat and Haydock’s Swinton Hurdle.
