3.45 Galway.

Just the 3 runners but is this race ripe for a shock result. The fav Buddy One, i don't think has jumped a fence in public but a very decent staying hurdler and hasn't ran since May. The other 2 have both competed in a number of chases FM ran in 12 won 1 placed in 3, and AC ran in 5 won 1, both have similar ratings which would be a long way behind the favs best hurdle ratings.
   I've backed Flanking Manoeuvre several times and always thought him capable of winning a good race, put him up when 4th at Kilbeggan a 60k euro chase, btn by his stablemate, usually travels well but sometimes doesn't find as much as you expect, good ground may suit better, hopefully if there is an upset he'll provide it and done a RF with Another Choice should the fav falter.
