McAteer has a trick up his Slieve

SLIEVE BINNIAN is fancied to make it three wins on the spin in today's feature race at the Galway Races, the COLM QUINN BMW Mile Handicap at 6.40.
-
It looked like he won with a bit in hand at Leopardstown last time out, having triumphed at the Curragh the time before that.
This five-year-old has been very consistent this season, having been placed in his two previous runs before those victories and he looks a super each-way bet in what is always a very competitive contest.
Tony Martin always has to be feared in Galway so you'd have to be mindful of Orandi in the same race.
However, this will be a tough contest for young jockey Jimmy Dalton, who claims 10 pounds off Orandi, and I think Slieve Binnian (above) might just be the one here for David Marnane and Luke McAteer.
Just like yesterday, Willie Mullins, JP McManus and Mark Walsh start today with a well-fancied runner in the first, the COLM QUINN BMW Novice Hurdle at 5.05. The trainer also runs La Note Verte, who is aiming for her fourth successive win.
