Lord Hemphill Memorial Handicap Chase

Galway · 15:30 · Sunday, 2 August 2026 · 2m2f54y · Good

🤖 AI race preview

The race is likely to be contested under a steady tempo with early leaders expected from the front-runners, particularly Le Nez Creux and Lisleigh Lad, both with strong recent form and consistent pace figures; Le Nez Creux stands out as the most compelling contender, having finished second at Ayr in April with a solid 142lb mark and a 132 OFR, showing resilience in tough conditions and a clear ability to rally under pressure despite a recent dip in class, while her stable debut performance and trainer Gavin Cromwell’s consistent results in chases give her a distinct edge over the field. The main danger comes from Blood Destiny, who has shown a knack for staying in contention despite a static handicap mark and recent struggles in handicap chases, and Watch The Weather, who has improved his run-in form and is back to a competitive mark after a poor showing at Ballinrobe, making him a value each-way player at the forecast price.
