The Ballydoyle team can warm up for Galileo's King George clash with Fantastic Light by hitting the mark twice at Tipperary.

The Ballydoyle team can warm up for Galileo's King George clash with Fantastic Light by hitting the mark twice at Tipperary.

Snake Mountain, by AP Indy out of the Prix Morny winner, Coup De Genie, goes in the mile-and-a half maiden and can make his third career start the lucky one. Sadler's Wells colt, Mutinyonthebounty is having his first start in the seven-furlong maiden, but is sure to be well tutored.

Tom Foley's Indimaaj could prove the pick in the second division of the maiden hurdle. Johnny Murtagh rode Henry Afrika to a two-and-a-half length defeat of Battle Cruiser at Leopardstown last time out and despite a raise of 9lb in the ratings, the combination are an attractive proposition for the seven-furlong handicap.
