The Guinness Galway Hurdle is the feature on the fourth day of the Galway Festival.

Joseph O'Brien's Band of Outlaws is battling the Willie Mullins-trained Shanning to be favourite, and that's off at 5-to-5.

Mullins is set to saddle four contenders in the contest.

That's part of an eight-race card at Ballybrit gets underway at the earliet time today of 2pm.
