Sunday Horse Racing Tips: Ridgeway heads the Galway battle in 75/1 Ballybrit double

• Rain forecast for Sunday could be a positive for Battle Of Ridgeway

• Vega can reverse form after Curragh second last time out 

• Alan Dudman previews Galway on Sunday with his latest Sportsbook double 

Galway - 13:50: Back Battle Of Ridgeway @ 8/19.00

It's time to dip the toes into Galway for the first time this week and the potential for rain on Sunday at Ballybrit leads me to Battle Of Ridgeway.

He's a fair price at 8s and if he drifts again comes into the each-way picture with five places paid. 

In his favour is an excellent effort at Punchestown last time. Battle Of Ridgeway finished second to a 117 hurdler there to outrun his massive odds of 50/151.00 with the drop in distance back to 2m doing the trick as in two previous attempts over 2m4f he appeared a complete non-stayer.

His rider Liam McKenna is usually pretty enterprising with the tactics and went forward last time at Punchy, and also scored from the front at Gowran Park in soft conditions back in March.

Rain will be an absolute bonus here.

Galway - 16:00: Back Fort Vega @ 15/28.50

The Ahonoora Handicap surprisingly has just two Ado McGuinness runners, while the UK challenge is something to marvel at, finally, with three runners making the trip across the channel.

Fort Vega rematches with Go Athletico again from their first and second from the Curragh last time out, a win fluked by Go Athletico with Fort Vega hitting the front with a furlong to go only to get reeled in by a horse who had shown zero form prior.

I fancy Fort Vega to turn the tables and Galway could suit him a little better with his 6f speed, but he stays 7f equally well and his run on Timeform ratings from last time was a best of the season recording a TF 103 speed figure.

He's already landed one good handicap prize this term at Cork and won't mind rain either with form in soft - in fact with a placed run over 1m at the Curragh earlier this season, 7f could well be his ideal trip.

Off a mark of 96 he still remains capable of better and I expect he'll be ridden off the pace. Again, he is an each-way price with four spots on offer, and 15/28.50 is certainly a ballpark figure for that considering I've seen 2/13.00 shots recently put up each-way on 'X'.
