Day two of Galways looks every bit as appealing as day one from a punting perspective.
Two likely favourites make most appeal to me and could represent a nice double. Be lucky.

It is remarkable that this horse is not going for the Galway Hurdle on Thursday, but it seems his owners are intent on a winner at the festival and this is easier, albeit no giveaway.
Emmet Mullins is in winning form and this very exciting gelding will know his job. He should take plenty of beating here.
It would not be out of the bounds of potential that he rocks up in the Arkle at the Cheltenham Festival come March.

Both of Petite Musique's runs have been over seven furlongs at Leopardstown and she has improved with both starts.
She was beaten two lengths by stablemate Love on her latest start and that form certainly worked out plus she still ran green.
She has a gorgeous pedigree, being a sister to Joannes Vermeer out of a winning dam by Holy Roman Emperor, and can only progress.
