Galway Plate runner-by-runner guide
HEWICK
WICKER man. Won this last year but 12lb higher this time. Ground has gone against him and this is a big ask off top-weight.
KILCRUIT
KIL thrill. Touch of class. Bolted up off a 12lb lower mark at Punchestown in April and could be hard to beat off a lovely racing weight.
EASY GAME
GAME lad. Experienced but no secrets from the handicapper. Testing ground may find him out.

ANDY DUFRESNE
OLD Duffer. Out of sorts for the past season or so and plenty to prove now.
FINAL ORDERS
RIGHT Order. Easy winner on the level last month. Jumps well and has the running style to have a big say.
ENNISKERRY
MERRY Kerry. Unexposed chaser and comes here in good heart. Must go close with a solid course record.
VISIONARIAN
SLICK Vision. Won Grade 3 Chase here last year. Sharp after recent Flat spin. Dangerous.
CIEL DE NEIGE
CIEL of disapproval. Experienced, but never won a handicap over fences or hurdles.
FOXY JACKS
JACKSON five. In the form of his life this summer but this is tough.
AUTHORIZED ART
ART attack. Pacey and goes well from the front, but ground has gone against him.
THE GOFFER
GOFF the chain. Tough and stays well. Won a big pot last season and must be a big player.
ASH TREE MEADOW
NATURAL talent. Fantastically consistent and on the upgrade. Has been peaked for this.
A WAVE OF THE SEA
ALL At Sea. A poor track record and jumping likely to be exposed.
GABBYS CROSS
GIFT of the Gab. Easy winner of last year’s Blazers and has the form to go close.
FIGHTER ALLEN
NO Fight. Lacks a touch of class and unlikely to figure in this company.
HOLLOW GAMES
GAME on. Unexposed over fences and has always promised to land a big prize.
HURRICANE GEORGIE
GEORGIE NO. Unseated at the first last year and has struggled for form since.
LIEUTENANT COMMAND
COMMAND prompt. Talented, but ground against him.
UPPING THE ANTI
UP for it. Steady improver with a great record when fresh.
BORN BY THE SEA
BY BY. Out of form and likely to come up short.
RESERVES:
GEVREY — In cracking form this year. Strongly fancied if getting a run.
HEREDITARY RULE — Won well at Punchestown Festival but soft ground an issue.
VINA ARDANZA — Lightly raced but likely to find this tough.
Galway Plate tip
HOLLOW GAMES can make his point in the Tote Galway Plate.
Trainer Gordon Elliott is mob handed in this valuable contest and his unexposed seven-year-old could prove to be very well treated.
He has only had four starts over fences and it would be a huge surprise if there was not more left in the tank.
