O'Brien seeking third handicap win with Shakespear'sgalley

Shakespear'sgalley will be bidding to make it three wins from four starts this season in the 2m handicap (4.00) at Navan in which the Joseph O'Brien-trained four-year-old faces nine rivals.

Successful over 2m1f at Killarney last month and over 1m4½f at Down Royal eight days ago, the Galileo gelding, who has been raised 17lb since the first of those wins, has been ridden by apprentices so far this year, but Donnacha O'Brien takes the mount this time around.

His trainer said: "Shakespear'sgalley has been kept busy but he seems to be progressing. He seems adaptable in terms of ground and we're looking forward to a big run. The slight concern is that it just might be coming a bit soon after his Down Royal run."

The forecast yielding to soft ground will suit the Jessica Harrington-trained Onlyhuman in the 1m2f handicap (5.10).

Harrington said of the six-year-old, who was successful when last seen at Limerick in April: "It was soft at Limerick and that's the way he likes it. We've been waiting for those sort of conditions again and it looks as if he'll get them. He's in good form."

Camphor, placed on both her starts, goes for Harrington in the 1m2f fillies' maiden (4.35).

"She's come up against a couple of smart fillies in her races so far and might do so again this time – Kiss For A Jewel looks an obvious threat – but our filly is in good order and should give a good account," Harrington said of the daughter of Camelot.
