Galway 7.20 - Galway Plate 2 miles 6 1/2 furlongs - 22 run

 

As usual the market thinks Elliott has found something that has slipped in off a nice mark so Borice (topical name) should be very well backed. On a couple of facile hurdle wins, I'll leave it alone. I like to look for second season unexposed Chasers in a field like this as there seems to be a lot of deadwood and also types who are far better in the depths of winter than in mid summer. So I will nail my colours firmly on MENGHLI KHAN and BLACK CORTON both of whom have had recent runs in decent flat races and those were absolutely no doubt a preparation for this and in Bryony Frost and Davy Russell two pilots who will be very keen to win this prestigious race
