Galileo gelding out of the very talented Vroum Vroum Mag was beaten at short odds in a bumper at last year's festival and absent until ready winner of 2m5f Roscommon opportunity maiden hurdle early this month, tending to jump left; back in trip here and part of a really strong Willie Mullins' team here.

Galileo gelding out of the very talented Vroum Vroum Mag was beaten at short odds in a 2m2f Galway bumper last August but it wasn't a run devoid of promise; off since and surely capable of better for top yard; tongue tie worn on debut is retained.
