JP McManus-owned In Excelsis Deo bids to become first cross-channel trained Plate winner since 2008
Percival Legallois could spoil Gordon Elliott’s hopes of a landmark fifth Galway Plate successJoseph O’Brien breaks new family ground as Mexicali Rose lands Galway feature
Since 2013, only Hewick in 2022 has interrupted a run of Plate winners from racing’s major stables and he turned out to be good enough to land a King George last Christmas. Runner-up in a good race at the Punchestown festival in May, he has scored over fences at Ballybrit and considering he’s won over flights at three miles, stamina up the gruelling final hill shouldn’t be an issue.
Elsewhere, the McManus team has three in an earlier handicap hurdle where Walsh is on board So They Tell Me. Pádraig Roche’s runner defied a notable market drift when successful at Punchestown on his first try at a longer trip. A 7lb penalty for that might not stop a follow up.
