Decision delayed as Etoile gets top weight

A decision on Accordion Etoile’s participation in the Guinness Galway Hurdle will be left until the end of the week after the gelding was allotted top weight in the July 28 contest.

Trainer Paul Nolan is considering the Galway race, in which he also has last year’s winner Cloone River entered, after Accordion Etoile landed yesterday’s betdaq.com Hurdle for the second year running.
