Paul Nicholls is doubly represented intoday’s feature, the thetote.com Galway Plate, and the leading British trainer, who won this race in 2008 with the Ruby Walsh-ridden Oslot, can take the €177,000 winner’s prize with the JP McManus-owned Modus.

The Galway Plate looks a really good and competitive renewal, but I fancy my own horse, Saturnas. I thought he was a decent hurdler and off a mark of 142 and with just 10-8 on his back he’s got a great chance.
