Pyromaniac can set Galway alight at a big 9-1

With all due respect to the Qatar Goodwood Cup, there is a good chance the big racing story of the day will come in the Guinness Galway Hurdle (4.45) in Ireland. Tony Martin has been to the High Court to get Pyromaniac a run in the big race and, having won the race for the last two seasons, the hint should be strongly taken.
At 9-1 he is well worth backing.
Pyromaniac has clearly been trained for this race for some time and on his best form he has an excellent chance. The controversy came after his run on the Flat at Killarney last time, when he was banned by the stewards for 42 days.
Whether that was harsh or not, the judge has granted him a stay of execution and he is in the line-up today. The ground, trip and jockey all mark him down as a horse with a tremendous chance.
