Athlone jockey Rory Cleary is booked for two rides today.

It's a big day for Irish racing with the Galway Hurdle going to post at 4.30pm.

El Cairos is considered a strong contender for the contest.

Trainer Gordon Elliott and jockey Jack Kennedy boast a 25% strike rate from the last 24 outings.

Elsewhere on the card, Athlone's Rory Cleary is booked for two rides today.

His best chance comes in the 5.05 flat handicap race over a mile on the Cormac Farrell trained Calm The Jets.

The four year old was a winner on debut last year, but has come down from a career high rating of 84 to 73 today.

Cleary then rides Lily Parr over a mile and a half for Sheila Lavery in the 5.40pm flat handicap.

Yesterday, Mullingar's Ciaran Murphy trained Granville Street to a fourth place finish in the 5.35pm handicap hurdle.
