Galway Tips: Quick Jack ticks all the right boxes for Galway Hurdle glory

The Guinness Galway Hurdle is the feature on day four of the Galway Festival and favourite Quick Jack should take a world of beating.

Trained by Tony Martin, he was a very impressive winner of the qualified riders’ race on the opening day of this meeting last year, and went on to finish a close third in the Cesarewitch at Newmarket on his next Flat outing, in October.

He wasn’t seen again until finishing third, in soft ground, behind Wicklow Brave in the County Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival, and then enjoyed another short break before finishing runner-up to Trip To Paris in the Chester Cup.
