Today's tips: Tigris River looks the value option in tricky Galway Hurdle

It’s TheTote.com Galway Hurdle day in Ballybrit and Tigris River looks the value option to land the €177,000 winner’s prize in the feature.

The five-year-old has had just eight runs over hurdles, three of which he has won, and ran a superb race in defeat behind the well-handicapped Golden Spear on testing ground in last season’s Lartigue Hurdle at Listowel.

Given a break since not beaten far in the ultra-competitive Coral.ie Hurdle at Leopardstown in January, he blew away the cobwebs at Bellewstown last time and that should have put him spot-on for today.
