Galway Tips: Stuccodor can get punters off to a flyer

Stuccodor gets the nap selection to get punters off on the right foot by taking the opening maiden hurdle on Galway Plate Day in Ballybrit.

The Dermot Weld-trained six-year-old is a classy sort, with a Flat rating in excess of 100, and a mark of 129 over hurdles. While he’s unlikely to advance on his current figure on the level, with just three runs under his belt he has plenty of scope for improvement over obstacles, and is certain to have been primed for this assignment.

Today’s conditions should be to his liking, and he can make his breakthrough in the hands of Davy Russell.
