FAR FROM TROUBLE might provide the answer to a typically competitive looking William Hill Galway Plate at Ballybrit this afternoon.

Ansar goes for a hat-trick of victories in the William Hill Galway Plate tomorrow and an incredible eighth win in all at the famous festival.

FAR FROM TROUBLE, a full brother to top-class hurdler Bannow Bay, proved the star of the show at Fairyhouse last night when making a successful debut for owner JP McManus and trainer Christy Roche in the Bumper.

Trouble At Bay continued trainer Alan King's rich vein of form when taking the opening race on Tripleprint Gold Cup day at Cheltenham.

Ante-post favourite Looks Like Trouble is reported to be in good shape ahead of his bid to follow up his win of two years ago in the Tote Cheltenham Gold Cup on Thursday.

Trainer Noel Chance reports Looks Like Trouble to be in ‘‘excellent’’ condition after his racecourse gallop at Kempton.

Former Cheltenham Gold Cup hero Looks Like Trouble made the perfect comeback from injury with an impressive victory in the Highclere Group Of Companies John Bull Chase at Wincanton.
