Slattery's star has a Royal chance on opening night in Ballybrit

- ROBBIE POWER

ROYAL Hollow (6.40) is fancied to land the big one on the opening evening at Galway - which is one of the great racing weeks of the year.

This seven-year-old was a very good winner at Killarney — Andrew Slattery's horses are in flying form at the moment and I'd say the Connacht Hotel (QR) Handicap has been the plan for a while.

He won well last time out when beating Mont St Michel by two and a half lengths and was second to previous Cheltenham Festival bumper winner A Dream To Share the time before that.

He sets a high standard of form, I think this stiff track will suit him and he is my selection for what is always a very competitive race.

Meanwhile, it's very interesting that Willie Mullins pitches DAVY CROCKETT (5.10) straight into a novice hurdle instead of going for a maiden hurdle.
